My name is Joe Clacey and I am Consultant a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, working in the Looked After and Adopted Children’s (LAAC) Service. I also work in the Outreach Service for Children and Adolescents (OSCA).

I am medically qualified doctor who has had specific training in working with young people and their mental health conditions. The biggest part of my role is assessing for and managing medications for young people within the LAAC team. I also support with helping make particular diagnoses and managing situations that might be particularly risky for young people or their families.

Other than being a fan of working in teams with long names, I am an avid watcher of American Sports especially Basketball and American Football. Sadly though, I am only any good at watching them! I live out on a farm, and really enjoy being out in the country.

My name is Dr Emily Goodwin, I am a clinical psychologist.

In my job I work with children and young people, and their parents or carers, to help everyone understand and manage big feelings better. This can help life to feel a bit easier at home or school.

Sometimes talking can help, and sometimes I bring toys or art supplies and use those instead if talking is tricky! I particularly like to work with schools to help teachers understand why school can be difficult for some people.

When I’m not at work, I live at home with my husband and children and pet guinea pigs. I like decorating cakes (and eating them), and watching movies, and I really, really would like to get a dog!

My name is Asa Kerr-Davis, and I am the Assistant Psychologist in the team.

I work alongside other members of the team to support our work with children and young people, and their parents and carers. I may see some young people directly to help understand things which might be tricky.

I also do projects for our team to make sure we keep on improving!

As well as work, I’m a student at university learning about psychology. I live with my partner, my grandad, and two pet guinea pigs. I love playing lots of different sports, including football – I’m quite tall so I usually play in goal!

My name is Jo, and I am a Senior Mental Health Practitioner. I am a registered social worker and I have training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

I really enjoy working with children, young people and the people supporting them to help them to explore their difficulties and make sense of their thoughts and feelings. I try to help young people feel more positively about themselves and what they can achieve.

When I am not at work, I enjoy travelling to visit new places (sometimes via kayak), going on walks in the sunshine, baking and watching movies.

Hello, my name is Alice Wooding, and I am the Administrator for the ACE and DSFT team within Bucks CAHMS. My career so far has been mainly in Early Years Education, in Nursery

settings for over eight years. I was also part of the admin team for a SEN school and residential provision which gave me so much admiration for the work around and for people with special needs, learning disabilities and more. I am passionate about to being part of such a team that is always striving to improve the wellbeing and care of people who need a little extra. Outside of

work I like to spend time with my family and friends. I love the countryside and am often found outdoors on walks, camping, or taking part in sport. I also have many hobbies including crochet, needle felting and drawing to name a few!
