Antony Bainbridge
Lead Psychologist
I am the Clinical Director of ICIS Ltd and a Clinical Lead having completed my master’s training in 1995 in research, clinical and forensic practice specialisms and then worked in Health Trusts in the late 1990s before entering private practice in 2001. My work history has included working with child and family services all over the UK and the Channel Islands. I have acted as an expert witness in child and family proceedings and been an overview author in Serious Case Review work in both children and adult services. I have recently undertaken the Bond Solon Cardiff University Expert Witness Certificate in Child and Family Law; the only accredited course of its kind. I deliver extensive training in child welfare and development, safeguarding practice, mental health and learning disabilities. Clinically I work within the fields of trauma, attachment issues, mental health, learning disabilities, substance misuse, sexually harmful behaviours, etc.

Role: Within Resicare Alliance I have been responsible for developing and implementing the clinical model of practice pertaining to the therapeutic model of support, specialising in reunification which takes a combined approach of PACE, DDP, psychosocial intervention methods to promote a child’s development and identity whilst in placement. I work alongside the staff, local authority and family supporting the child, train them in the model and provide supervisory support in the implementation of the model used. When I’m working with the children, Cora my therapy dog assists.
