The Counselling Partnership

Motherhood can bring love and joy, but also pressure, exhaustion, and moments that feel overwhelming.

In the UK, around 1 in 5 women experience a mental health problem during the perinatal period, yet many still don’t get the support they need.

Maternal Mental Health Week is about awareness, compassion, and breaking stigma—but most importantly, reminding mums that support is available and it’s okay to reach for it any time of year.

If you’re struggling with low mood, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed - our counsellors are here to help with weekly, affordable 1-2-1 sessions online or in person.

Did you know just 15–20 minutes outdoors can boost your mental health?

It helps lower stress, reduce anxiety, and lift your mood — something we were reminded of at Monday’s feel-good Duckathon.

Our Mental Health Mallard didn’t win Love Walton Duckathon, but it was a great to be part of such a positive community event 🦆

Introducing our newest team member Mental Health Mallard 🦆

As a Walton-on-Thames based charity, we are thrilled to be joining other local charities and businesses in the annual Duckathon this Monday (4th May).

Duckathon starts off at 2pm at The Swan Pub. First see the corporate giant duck race organised by Love Walton, followed by the community race of over 2000 ducks organised by and in aid of 1stwaltonvikingseascouts.

Many women over 50 are struggling in silence.

A recent survey by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy found that nearly two-thirds are facing mental health challenges—driven by anxiety, sleep issues, bereavement, and menopause.

Yet 9 out of 10 haven’t reached out for support.

Long NHS waiting lists and the cost of private therapy can make getting help feel out of reach—but support is available.

At The Counselling Partnership, we offer affordable, accessible 1–2–1 counselling, online or in person. Refer yourself for an initial therapeutic consultation at https://thecounsellingpartnership.org/

My generation had great role models, free university and the morning-after pill. We should be running the world. Instead, two-thirds of us are facing mental health problems – and it’s not all about the menopause
