"I just wanted to get in touch to say a huge thank you for all your amazing help and support via Taking Baby Steps. In those first few weeks post birth, I feared I would be plagued by birth trauma for the rest of my life. But wow, a few sessions with you and I can now look back and (almost) smile at the good parts and acknowledge that, whilst the bad parts happened, they do not define the magic of my special boy arriving and I am stronger than the fear that surrounds that experience. I will forever be grateful for your kindness, compassion and expertise in helping me through it."
Please get in touch if you feel you would like some support with Perinatal Trauma. Both face to face and online appointments available.

A huge thank you to and for designing and selling candles prior to Christmas. This was in memory of much loved 'Bodhi-River' and raised over £1000 for Taking Baby Steps. It means so much when people take the time to fundraise and every penny of this will go to support other families who have sadly lost their baby.

"Thank you so much for your patience, kindness and most importantly for holding the space for me during my pregnancy. It was the most difficult period of my life and it meant so much to have your listening ear during the struggles and worries. Our baby is here safely and I feel like a different woman - undoubtedly because of the confidence and reassurance you instilled in me. Thank you for everything."

What I do - I see people who have been affected by an experience in the perinatal period and require some emotional support. This can be fertility issues, pregnancy loss and subsequent pregnancies, anxiety, birth trauma or postnatal issues. I worked as a Midwife for 22 years prior to commencing this therapeutic role in 2022.
Where and when are appointments available? I am lucky enough to be able to work with the wonderful team and have face to face appointments available on a Tuesday and Friday. On other days I have online appointments available for those live are further away or it is simply more convenient.
There are 3 other directors for Taking Baby Steps and we have been awarded numerous grants over the years to help with costs for clients.
If you feel you my benefit from some support then do get in touch. admin@takingbabysteps.co.uk
