On the 1^st September, we will be welcoming a new staff member.  We will say goodbye to Gillian Sloan Donachy and Lynne Conway who have been our joint Course Leads for our Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy ​(CAP) course.  We thank them for their leadership and guiding our course staff and students.  Lynne and Gillian have transformed the CAP training at HDS in their 8 years leading the course, ensuring it stays up to date and current.  They leave us with a widely-respected training which we are very proud of.

We will be welcoming Kasia Zych who will take over as Course Lead.

Kasia completed the pre-clinical training with Scottish Institute of Human Relations and the clinical training with HDS.  Since qualifying, Kasia has worked for NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde in CAMHS and since in Wee Minds Matter, Infant Mental Health Service. Over the years, Kasia has taught on various courses for HDS including the 5 week Infant Mental Health course, Therapeutic Work with Children and Young People course and CAP training. 

Kasia’s original background is in the arts and prior to training as a Child & Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist she worked with various organisations including The Big Issue Scotland and Teenage Cancer Trust.
