Mary Bell is famous, or infamous in the true crime world as a 10-year-old girl who strangled two children in 1968 Newcastle Upon Tyne. Many documentaries and videos have been quick to brand her evil without nuance or label her a psychopath without understanding. Drawing on the book Cries Unheard by Gitta Sereny, I wanted to provide a therapist analysis of Mary Bell to understand how her crimes happened and how someone can grow.

My Little Thought Tree is my channel for drawing out the deeper meaning and emotion in film, TV, and the world at large through relaxed, analytical video essays. I am a professional counsellor and often draw on my psychology and therapy background to better understand characters, themes, and emotion in fiction. I upload every Saturday and occasionally on Tuesdays, if I'm feeling productive.
