About

Dr Elise Riley

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist with extensive experience in NHS CAMHS services and the charity sector, now working in private practice. I work with children and young people up to the age of 25, as well as parents and couples.

Alongside my clinical work, I supervise practitioners working with children and families, and teach on the pre-clinical training in child and adolescent psychotherapy at the Tavistock.

My psychology and psychotherapy training spans more than ten years and includes a four-year doctoral clinical training with IPCAPA, accredited by UCL. My research and clinical interests include parent work, work with children under 5, and short-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy with depressed adolescents experiencing suicidal ideation.

To complement my practice, I have undertaken advanced training at Tavistock Relationships to work specifically with couples. I have written on parent work in child psychotherapy and on unconscious dynamics within couples during the perinatal period.

I work mainly in person, and also offer online consultations where suitable.

My services are private and confidential.

I work in both English and French.
