Specialised Counselling
Peri-natal Service
Our pregnancy and new mums service is for women who are pregnant, or who have been pregnant in the past year, as well as for women who have, or care for a baby / child under one year old. Plus their partners – male, female, non binary.
We are part of the Leeds Mental Wellbeing Service. Click here for more information.
One to one support focuses on helping to stabilise and manage their emotional and mental well-being during what can be a life changing time, and to help women bond with their babies. The types of issues we work with are:
- Anxiety around pregnancy, birth and parenting
- Ending of a pregnancy; Miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss
- Post Natal Depression
- Relationship issues
- Bonding with baby
- Labour and birth experiences
We accept both self-referrals and referrals from other services for individual counselling.
16-17 year old Service
We recognise that young women who have experienced or are experiencing mental health issues and trauma are at a particularly vulnerable and formative stage in life, so we have a service dedicated to working with girls and young women aged 16-17. We provide individual counselling at our city centre venue and in partnership with Leeds City College.
We aim to help girls and young women with mental health problems to better manage difficult feelings, improve relationships and increase their belief in their own self-worth.
We accept self and professional referrals into this service.
Casework Service for pregnancy or new mums
Our Caseworkers can help women with problems such as a housing crisis or financial concerns and provide additional support in between sessions or while awaiting counselling. Casework is offered both before and alongside counselling, however the women must be aiming to access counselling at some point. Please see here for more information.
