She then led the Early Years Parenting Unit, Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, for 10 years. The Early Years Parenting Unit was a specialist assessment and treatment service for parents whose experience of complex trauma had a serious impact on their personality functioning in respect of their capacity to: regulate their emotions; form safe, enduring relationships; and to parent their children safely. Parents attended the EYPU with their children under the age of five who were on the edge of care. Nicola is now the Parenting Interventions Lead in the Early Years Parenting Hub, for the London Borough of Barnet.
