What we do
We offer a variety of support for mothers who are dealing with post natal depression.
Telephone Helpline - 0117 975 6006
At times one can feel quite desperate and hopeless and we have often found that it is great comfort to have someone available to talk, who understands what you are going through and who may be able to help you untangle a muddle of thoughts and feelings. Please do allow yourself to phone us. Sharing can make such feelings and worries easier to bear.
Who Answers the Calls?
We have a telephone in our office which is answered by a mother who is trained in listening skills. Office hours are between 9.30 am - 12.30 pm Monday to Friday. Helpline 0117 975 6006
Helpline: Between 2.30 pm and 9.00pm Monday to Thursday our telephone line is diverted to a volunteer’s home and she is available to talk to you during these hours. At other times an answer machine service operates.
Counselling
If you have Postnatal Illness/Depression it can be very beneficial to talk about the illness. Talking with your family and friends may be helpful but professional counselling is another option.
Counselling offers a safe place to confide and offload your problems to an unbiased and empathic listener.It can also give an insight into the way your behaviour affects others, and how their behaviour impacts on you. It can help you see the bigger picture.
We offer counselling in our dedicated therapy room in the city centre (there is limited access to the room as it is up two flights of stairs).
We usually offer 10 weekly sessions for a charge of £10 per session. However this can be reduced to what the client can afford if financial hardship will be caused by the client paying this fee.
