Jessy Paston
Jessy works with clients who experience anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and confidence issues, loss and bereavement as well as issues around pregnancy, birth and early years, and providing specific therapeutic support for any associated traumas.
Helen Millar
I have a particular interest in working with trauma, especially the impact of Birth Trauma. I have also worked in the NHS as a Specialist Neonatal counsellor supporting families through their NICU experience.
Gillian Taylor Counsellor and Psychotherapist
I work in a person-centred way which allows you to work at your own pace but will use relaxation and visualisation techniques to regulate emotions helping prevent you from becoming traumatised all over again. You will gain a deeper understanding of your experiences allowing you to process them and move forward with your life.
Gayle Sturrock
I work with complex cases with integrative psychotherapy regarding trauma, CPTSD, PTSD, attachment issues, postnatal depression, anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship issues and family issues. Please call for advice and information.
Jo Spilling
My ethos is to respond to individual needs, anxieties and distress, providing a safe space in which to work through concerns. It is my hope that through working together, counselling can help bring you relief from emotional distress, improve your relationships and help you to make constructive changes.
Mia S. Scotland
I am a mother of three boys, a clinical psychologist, and a birth doula – my experience as a doula gives me a unique understanding of what actually happens in the birthing room. I have been treating trauma successfully for over 25 years and have specialised in perinatal mental health for the past 15 years.
Heather Rai
The key to my approach is to create a genuine and understanding relationship with you that’s as free of judgement as possible and then to support you to find your own answers to your distress at your own pace.
Samantha Phillis
As a midwife I have a unique insight into the trauma which can occur during the perinatal period and am passionate about using this insight to support individuals, couples and families effected by birth trauma, perinatal mental health issues, feeding issues and all areas of birth trauma.
Mothership Counselling Services/Keeley Craw
My aim is to support women through person-centred and psychodynamic counselling approaches to gain a better understanding of their experience so they can gain clarity and control and become the woman they wish to be.
Emma Mathews
I am a BABCP, COSRT and EMDR Europe accredited psychotherapist and have extensive experience working within the NHS as a psychosexual therapist and a specialist midwife within perinatal mental health services. I also worked for Relate as a psychosexual and relationship therapist for several years.
Dr Sonia Malik
I use various types of therapy including cognitive behavioural therapy, cognitive analytic therapy and psychodynamic therapy.
Gemma Luther
I want to support new parents affected by birth trauma so that they can come to terms with their birth experience, helping them to recover and enjoy life with their baby.
Christina Johnson
Christina is a kind, compassionate, gentle Human Givens psychotherapist with over thirty years experience working across the social care sector including the NHS, GP surgeries, community mental health teams , the charity sector and in private practice. For the last fifteen years she has been working with those who are pregnant, giving birth or in the early months of parenthood.
Dr Miriam Inder
You shouldn't be left feeling upset when you think about your birth experience. Perhaps you ended up having an emergency c-section after planning a water birth. Maybe there was a medical problem with you or your baby, or you felt ignored by people who were supposed to be caring for you. Instead of being joyful and happy, as you had imagined it, your experience of giving birth felt lonely and frightening.
Sophie Harris
I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, specialising in pregnancy and postpartum therapy. In my practice, I regularly assist new mums to recover from traumatic births, to feel confident and content.
Dr Rosanna Gilderthorp
You do not need to suffer in silence. There are evidence-based therapies that can support you not only to recover from a traumatic birth, but to emerge from this experience as the parent that you want to be.
Jodie Finch
I can support individuals experiencing a range of difficulties in the perinatal period including: birth trauma, perinatal loss, adjustment to the role of parenting, tokophobia and perinatal low mood and anxiety.
Catherine Evans
I have 10 years of experience of working within a maternity setting as both a nurse and a midwife and in that time have developed a real interest in working with parents who feel that they need to explore their birth experience further or are daunted by the prospect of parenthood.
Marie Derome
I strongly believe in early intervention and I specialise in supporting parents who are struggling to bond with their babies. These kinds of struggles can be due to a traumatic birth, an early separation, parents’ own difficult childhood, past trauma, a bereavement…
Victoria Adam
I run my private practice alongside my role in a busy NHS trust where I have delivered psychological therapy and supervision for the past 10 years. I can help you to see yourself as resilient and feel positive about the world around you and your future.
