Gerry Byrne
Gerry is a consultant child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapist (Tavistock), a consultant nurse, and adult psychotherapist. He is also a mentalization-based treatment (MBT) practitioner, supervisor, and trainer (adult, adolescent and family) for the Anna Freud. He trains and supervises MBT programmes and clinicians in the UK and internationally and leads on MBT trainings for the Centre in Ireland. 
Gerry developed, in collaboration with Nick Midgley, Anthony Bateman and Peter Fonagy at the Anna Freud National Centre, an approach and treatment programme aimed at reducing the risk of maltreatment in high-risk families – The Lighthouse MBT-Parenting Programme (LLP). The LPP is a manualised, innovative adaptation of mentalization-based treatment (MBT) which aims to prevent child maltreatment by promoting epistemic trust, mentalizing and sensitive caregiving in parents. It is rooted in psychoanalytic, attachment and mentalisation concepts. Currently there are six, separate manualised Lighthouse MBT-P programmes for different populations.
Gerry is also author of a children’s picture book, All at Sea, published by Walker.
