My name is Maddie and I work with children and young people with a diagnosis of diabetes and their families.

I sometimes have trainee clinical psychologists working with me.

We meet with families to help them to get used to living with diabetes, make sure that diabetes doesn’t get in the way too much of how they want to live their life and to help them to keep going with it if it starts to feel tough.

We work with parents to support their own and family wellbeing and to help them to negotiate some of the extra parenting dilemmas that diabetes can often bring.
