Dr Georgina Barnes – Senior Clinical Psychologist – London leads Harwood Child Psychology’s neurodevelopmental assessment pathways for children, young people and families. She holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Manchester and a Master’s degree in Mental Health Studies, and she registers with the Health and Care Professions Council as well as holding Chartered status with the British Psychological Society.
