About us

The ReConnect service is an award winning county-wide team of Psychologists in Buckinghamshire, who are trained to work with parents who are pregnant or who have a child under 2 years that is subject to a child protection plan.

We are passionate about helping parents and their children feel safe with one another.

We recognise that coming to therapy can feel scary and we work with parents to build a safe therapeutic space. We will work with you to help you understand the risks to your child and how past or current relationships have been harmful.
