Conversations about Consultation by Emma Ní Chinnéide, Zahra Ahmed, Jessica Rowley & Emily Crosby

Episode notes

In this episode we speak with Robin Solomon - an esteemed consultant social worker from The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. Robin currently works in the fostering adoption and kinship care team and before this worked for 16 years as a senior lecturer at Brunel University, where she taught Child Care Social Work at graduate and postgraduate levels.

Robin's particular interests lie in relationship-based practice in social work and she has written extensively about a psychoanalytic approach to this work.

We talk in this episode about how some of these themes can be explored and applied in psychological practice, particularly to Educational Psychology.
