Welcome to Briony Wright Psychotherapy

I provide carefully attuned therapeutic work with children, young adults, and families, informed by over ten years’ experience across community and school settings.

About Me

I work with children, young people, adults, and families to find meaningful ways of understanding and responding to life’s challenges. My approach is warm, containing, and playful. In sessions, I hold a stance of curiosity, often integrating creative modalities such as art, sandplay, storytelling, and metaphor as a tool to  help children and young people explore feelings and make sense of their experiences.


My approach is grounded in psychodynamic thinking, paying close attention to internal worlds and exploring the roots of difficulties rather than simply ‘fixing’ behaviours. Through this deeper understanding, growth and transformation become possible. 


My work as a Mentalization-Based Therapist (MBT) also focuses on understanding our own and others’ inner worlds — the thoughts, feelings, and intentions that shape how we relate. This approach supports emotional growth and strengthens relationships.


I believe that therapy works best when you have a say in it. You are invited to ask questions, share what feels useful, or guide the pace and focus of our sessions. This is your space, and we explore it together.


I currently work as a school-based therapist in Cambridge and run a small private practice from my home studio in Swaffham Prior (CB25), providing a calm and confidential space for therapeutic work.

    Children and Young Adults

    Things to know about me: 


    • I’m friendly and easy to talk to. My job is to listen, not judge.


    • I like to slow things down so I can understand your experience better.


    • I try to see the whole picture. This sometimes means thinking about different perspectives, stories, or ideas you might not have considered before.


    • We go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. If things feel too intense, we slow down together.


    • You can ask me questions at any time — about me, about therapy, or about what we’re doing. This is your space, and we work things out together.


    • When words feel tricky, I might use creative tools—like postcards or figurines—to help us think and express what’s going on.


    • I don’t share what we talk about with your parents, but I sometimes work with them too, helping them understand you better.


    • I have a whippet named Otto, and three cats called Asbo, Travis and Swift.

    Parent Coaching

    Parenting can bring up deep worries, fears, and frustrations. At times it can feel overwhelming — especially when support feels hard to access, or when your child’s behaviour is difficult to understand.


    I work with parents of infants through to adolescence, offering a thoughtful and containing space where both your experience and your child’s experience can be explored, understood, and reflected upon. This is a space to slow things down and make sense of what might be happening beneath the surface.

    Sessions can be one-off consultations or ongoing support, depending on what feels most helpful for you and your family.


    Together, we can:

    • Explore your child’s behaviour as a form of communication


    • Think about relationships within the family and how they are experienced


    • Consider strategies and ways of responding that feel right for your family


    This work can be particularly helpful for complex and blended families, for parents navigating changing roles, or where relationships are shaped by both past experiences and present attachment patterns.

    Clinical Supervision

    I offer clinical supervision to qualified therapists and trainee therapists working with children, young people, and families. As an integrative psychotherapist, I bring a thorough understanding of child development, affective neuroscience, and relational approaches to therapeutic work across developmental stages.


    In supervision, I offer a reflective space where we can think carefully about your clients’ internal worlds, your therapeutic stance, and what is happening within the relational field. My approach is collaborative and curious. At times, we may use creative methods, such as drawing, sanitary, imagery, or metaphor, to open up new perspectives and deepen clinical understanding.


    My supervisory style is warm, thoughtful, and attentive to both the emotional and technical aspects of practice. I support supervisees to develop confidence, reflect on their own process, and remain connected to their professional values, particularly when the work with complexity.
