About Rosemary Winter | Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist in Leeds
About Me
I’m Rosemary Winter, a child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapist based in Leeds. I have over 20 years’ experience working with children, young people and families, first in education and then in specialist mental health services.
Before training as a psychotherapist, I studied English Literature at Lancaster University and worked for nine years as a secondary and further education teacher. In 2011, I began specialist clinical training with the Northern School of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy (NSCAP), working within NHS services with children and young people experiencing significant emotional and mental health difficulties.
Today, I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy for infants, children, teenagers and young adults, alongside psychotherapy for parents and clinical supervision for professionals.

My clinical work has included NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), services for looked-after children, and parent-infant mental health services. These roles have shaped how I work with children and young people at different stages of development, and how I think alongside parents and the professionals supporting them.
Alongside psychotherapy, I provide individual and group clinical supervision for child psychotherapists, trainees and professionals in related fields. I also work with multidisciplinary teams, offering ongoing supervision and consultation on particular cases.
I supervise groups through Tavistock Relationships’ National Centre for the Supervision of Parent-Infant Relationships.

Since 2022, I have taught on the MA in Psychoanalytic Observation Studies at the Northern School of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy (NSCAP). As Module Lead for Infant Observation, I support students in developing the careful observation and reflective thinking that underpin psychoanalytic work.
My teaching also includes work discussion and applied psychoanalytic theory. I work with students from backgrounds including health, social care, education and early years services, helping them connect psychoanalytic ideas with their experience of working with children and families.

I continue to develop my clinical practice through further training in adult psychoanalysis with the Institute of Psychoanalysis. I also undertake ongoing professional development in safeguarding, clinical governance and reflective practice, alongside regular clinical supervision.
