Anne-Marie Tipper

I have an MSc in Attachment Studies and I am a Play Therapist (PTUK) and Filial Therapist, (Advanced Filial Therapy Training) a Dyadic Developmental Practitioner, Trauma and Attachment Specialist and Clinical Supervisor.

I have worked within the local authority tier 2 CAMHS service with children; young people and families with complex emotional needs. My therapeutic work has been with a wide range of emotional and behavioural difficulties. These have included diagnosed and undiagnosed ADHD, ASD, ODD, anxiety and complex mental health conditions.

I was the lead therapist for looked after and adopted children and trauma and attachment specialist, and have delivered group training for adoptive parents and foster carers, as well as guiding social care staff in their understanding of the difficulties these families face.

I have been involved in consultation and assessment of needs for all children. I believe passionately that the systems around a child who is displaying emotional or behavioural difficulties need support and guidance, along side working directly with the child or family.

I have worked independently as the senior member of a team delivering Play and Filial Therapy, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) and Sandplay to children and young people both individually and in groups.

I genuinely believe I have the best job in the world! I get to support families around attachment and trauma; I work in educational settings supporting staff and delivering training. I’m constantly learning about myself, people and how we make connections to each other. I get to support and make sense of the rich tapestry of life’s relationships, whatever shape or size they come in.

Peter is an amazing addition to The Annex Team. Not only has he completed his level 1 and 2 DDP, he brings a wealth of experience of working as a Therapeutic Youth Worker, with vulnerable teenagers in Kenya. He has worked as part of our therapeutic project, in residential therapeutic homes, as well as alongside the Kenyan Government, advising and supporting them to help children who have survived in the streets.

Here in the UK he often works with our young people who have struggled to engage in therapy previously as well as with Families of Adopted and Looked After Young People.

He has the most amazing infectious humour and all his clients get so much from working with him and bring a beautiful balance to our team.
