What groups does our Perinatal Mental Health Service offer?
Motherhood can be beautiful, but also incredibly hard. Our Perinatal service offers three brilliant group programmes designed to support you during this important time:
🌈 Circle of Security – Parenting (COS-P)
An 8-week, face-to-face programme to help you better understand your child’s emotional needs and your own responses. This group will help strengthen the parent-child bond and build your child’s emotional resilience and self-esteem.
💗 Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Group
If you’re struggling with self-criticism or shame around motherhood, this group will help gently build self-compassion and emotional safety. CFT also supports bonding with your baby by activating your soothing system (hello, oxytocin!) and teaching the same compassionate skills that help form strong, secure attachments.
🧠 Trauma Stabilisation Group
If past trauma is resurfacing in pregnancy or early motherhood, you’re not alone. This group offers a safe space to understand how trauma affects you and will provide you with the tools to manage anxiety, feel more in control, and strengthen your connection with your baby. These sessions help women feel more empowered, less alone, and better equipped for the challenges of motherhood!
These groups are designed for women in the perinatal period (pregnancy to one year after birth) and are facilitated by experienced professionals in a warm, non-judgmental environment.
