Petrina Ding

I am a Trainee Clinical Psychologist, currently working across North London under the NHS towards full qualifications as a Clinical Psychologist. I have worked in the NHS for about 2 and a half years (under various Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) teams) and have also worked in private/ volunteer settings in other psychological intervention services (neurorehabilitation for adults and early intervention centre for young people with special needs). My experience includes providing psychological assessments and interventions both on an individual basis and with family, and through therapeutic group and/or parenting support for parents/ carers of young people with mental health and/ or neurodiverse needs.

Having grown up in a place of cultural diversity, I appreciate the importance of understanding an individual/ system within their context and am particularly passionate about working with stereotypes/ stigmas around mental health and providing representation for communities that may find mental health interventions difficult to access or engage with.

As an Assistant Psychologist working for Little Bird Psychology, I am mainly responsible for the administrative side of the practice but also occasionally participate in the creation of digital content for our practice’s social media pages

I am registered as a Graduate Member (MBPsS) of the British Psychological Society (BPS), which acts as the representative body for psychology and psychologists in the United Kingdom.
