Taking Baby Steps

11/05/2026

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 Wednesday and Friday. On other days I have online appointments available for those that live 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

The next Peer Support Group will be Wednesday 15th April, 7.30pm-9pm.
The group is open to parents, grandparents, healthcare professionals, and anyone who has been affected by birth trauma. This may be a loss, birth injury, a difficult pregnancy or postpartum experience, or challenges related to subsequent fertility.
Our aim is to offer a safe, open and gentle space to provide ongoing support for those affected by the above, which can be incredibly isolating.
Please email admin@takingbabysteps.co.uk for more information and to let us know you are coming. Free sessions.
