Richard Lindsley

Mental Health Specialist, Mental Health Nurse, Certified Theraplay Therapist

My name is Richard Lindsley, and I have over 30 years of experience working with children, young people, and adults facing emotional well-being and mental health difficulties. After qualifying as a Mental Health Nurse in 2003, I went on to specialise in children and young people’s mental health by joining Northamptonshire CAMHS in 2008.

I further specialised after joining the Looked After and Adopted Children’s Team in 2009. In 2013, I became one of the first Certified Theraplay Therapists in Northamptonshire. I have also received training in other attachment therapies such as Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) and Five to Thrive.

In addition to direct clinical work, I have experience in leadership and management roles, including: The Named Nurse for Looked After Children, The Clinical Lead for Children’s Mental Health, and Service Manager roles in CAMHS and Specialist Children’s Services.

I have applied my experience and training to successfully provide one-to-one clinical work to children and young people experiencing low mood, anxiety, trauma, neurodevelopmental disorders, and attachment disorders. I have also developed and delivered training to parents, carers, and residential staff.
