Receiving support

Working with services can be daunting

These films have been developed by young people with experience of working with services to help other young people make meaningful choices about their care, answer frequently asked questions and provide a balanced view, considering both the positive and negative of working with services.

Throughout the site we use the term therapist but this term could mean counsellor, doctor, worker, clinician or any mental health professional that you might work with.

Dr Peter Fuggle

Co-founder of AMBIT and Consultant to the Programme and Community Development Lead

Peter is a clinical psychologist who has worked in child mental health throughout his career. He currently works as a Consultant to the AMBIT team at Anna Freud in London. He worked for many years in the NHS in London as Clinical Director of Islington CAMHS, and was particularly concerned about the children and young people with major needs who did not come to the main services that were provided. This interest led him to join a group at Anna Freud who were concerned about the same issue, which resulted in the development of the AMBIT approach. He has been involved in publishing two books on AMBIT. Most of his time now is spent on supervision, training and writing.
