Mikenda Plant

I live in Nottingham in the UK and work in independent practice. I am a Family & Systemic Psychotherapist & a DDP Trainer, Consultant & Practitioner.

I have worked previously in CAMHS in Birmingham & Derbyshire and in the private sector with Chrysalis Associates in Sheffield, mostly with care experienced children & their carers, and with adoptive families.

I am interested in integrating EMDR, Theraplay-informed play and sensory integration work into my DDP practice. I am trained in EMDR with Adults and Children & Adolescents & Level 2 Theraplay. I have trained to deliver Mindful Parenting & run groups for adoptive parents, as well as co-facilitating the online DDP & Mindfulness Special Interest Group . Prior to becoming a Family Therapist, I worked for 10 years in field social work, as a practitioner and team manager, overseeing child protection, care and adoption cases.
