Motherhood can be amazing -
When it isn’t, we’re here to help
Pregnancy Anxiety. Birth Trauma. Postnatal Depression. Or struggling with the question of whether to have children at all? Motherhood is complex - and whatever reality you're facing, we're glad you're here. We’re the UK's first network of psychotherapists specialising in all things parenthood and matrescence. That involves pre-conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and the early years of parenthood. We offer one to one talk therapy, couples counselling and peer support, all online and on demand. Get in touch - no GP referral needed.
ABOUT
“My therapist made me feel validated and gave me so many methods for overcoming anxious thoughts. She’s taught me the ability for self-compassion and understanding. I feel that because of these sessions I’ve been able to finally enjoy my pregnancy and not have it be defined by anxiety.”
Sarah
“I've always wanted children but I didn't want to get pregnant or give birth. My therapist helped me explore where my feelings came from - and eventually overcome them to an extent that made it possible to consider trying to conceive.”
Elise
“Mothering minds has felt like a lifeline through my pregnancy and early postpartum period. It was really comforting to know that the space was designed specifically for mothers and that I wasn’t alone in the feelings I was having.'
Kathy
We don't do Waitlists.
Parenthood can be an incredible journey, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating and exhausting. We’re here whether you’re still wondering if you should have kids, trying to conceive, pregnant, postnatal, or became a parent months or years ago.
We understand the hormonal and emotional changes you’re navigating, as well as the systemic societal pressures you’re under.
We’re not in the business of keeping up appearances and we don’t need you to “look like you’re coping”. As therapists, we work underneath the surface – addressing your real pain points and supporting you through whichever mix of emotions you’re feeling.
Whether you’re noticing symptoms of postpartum depression, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or just feel like you could do with a little more joy, we provide a safe and judgement-free space to help you process your feelings, reframe thoughts and habits and rebuild from there.
Our perinatal therapists provide support via 1:1 and couples therapy, and we also run weekly free peer support groups to help you regain your balance.
And while it can be hard to prioritise your mental wellbeing while you’re caring for your child, your emotional health is a significant factor in your child’s development: it’s worth your time, effort and resources.
And we believe that, when you decide you need help, you shouldn’t have to wait.
