WHO WE ARE

“THE CHANGE COMES FROM YOU, MAMA.

AND WE'VE GOT YOU, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY”.


We are the Heart & Soul Doctors:

Dr Tara Pennington-Twist

& Dr Claire Gittoes

(BSc Hons, D.Clin.Psychol, CPsychol).

We are Chartered & Consultant Clinical Psychologists who have worked and studied in the field of Psychology up to Doctorate level and for over twenty years. We are also parents who have experienced our own challenges in adapting to pregnancy and parenthood and in juggling our professional and family lives, which gives us even greater insight and wisdom than our professional training and experience alone. 


We have already helped hundreds of people to create meaningful and sustainable change in their emotional wellbeing, relationships and life. Throughout our careers we have gained broad experience working in a range of services including the NHS, the private and charitable sectors, in a public appointment for the Scottish Government and as expert witnesses for the Child & Family Court. 


We are Chartered members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and the Association of Clinical Psychologists (ACP), the regulatory and professional bodies for Clinical Psychologists. 


Our work combines many years of work in clinical practice, what we have learned on our own journeys as mamas and what we know in our hearts and souls to really make the difference.
