ABOUT
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.

Don't just take our word for it
“I struggled with breastfeeding, and eventually had to give up which broke my heart. It was hard
to convey the emotional impact this had on me. When I matched with my therapist, I finally felt
like I had someone who fully understood.”
Claire
“I really worried some aspects about giving birth. My therapist presented me with useful statistics and ways of managing my anxiety. The sessions helped me feel calmer and more prepared.”
Hannah
“When I became a mother, I found it so hard to care for my baby and myself in the way I thought I
should. I felt like a failure all the time. Sharing and listening to other mothers in my postnatal group
was a healthy reminder that there was nothing wrong with me.”
