๐ŸŒธ You spend so much time caring for everyone elseโ€ฆ but who is holding space for you? This is the question that most do not ask ๐ŸŒธ

Motherhood can leave us feeling emotionally stretched, and sometimes unsure how to balance everyone elseโ€™s needs with our own. This is not an easy balance to find.

The ๐Œ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ฌโ€™ ๐‚๐ข๐ซ๐œ๐ฅ๐ž is a gentle and supportive space for mothers to pause, connect, and fill their cup (quite literally ๐Ÿ˜‰).

Weโ€™ll look at questions such as; what is ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฅ๐Ÿ-๐œ๐š๐ซ๐ž, really? Why do so many mothers feel guilty when taking care of themselves? How do we make sense of this? ๐ŸŒฑ

Weโ€™ll also explore what it means to have ๐ก๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก๐ฒ ๐›๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ and why saying โ€˜noโ€™ - even to good things - is important.โœ‹๏ธ

Weโ€™ll also be diving into the theme of ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฆ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ ๐ฌ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐จ๐ง; is there space for friendships when a woman becomes a mother? I would say that friendships are crucial, however I also know that this is not everyoneโ€™s reality - and many mothers want to change that ๐Ÿค

Iโ€™d love to welcome you there.

Time for a little re-introduction ๐Ÿค

Hi, Iโ€™m Maria. Iโ€™m a psychotherapist and my work centres around relationships, trauma, and personal growth, with a special interest in supporting women through pregnancy and early motherhood.

Iโ€™m also a mum of two, and that experience naturally shapes how I sit with and understand other mums.

Outside of work, I love anything creative, long coffee chats, and spending time with my family.

Iโ€™m really glad youโ€™re here ๐Ÿค

Many mums tell me that parts of motherhood can feel isolating.

The group I facilitate is a small therapeutic space, similar to a motherhood circle, where mums can be honest and talk about things like anxiety, overwhelm, low moods, mum rage, and the emotional ups and downs that can come with raising young children.

If youโ€™re a mum of a child under 3 and feel you might benefit from a supportive space like this, a new group begins on Wednesday 11 March, 10amโ€“1pm ๐Ÿ’›

๐ŸŒท Hi mums! I would like to invite you for the next cycle of Group Therapy sessions, starting on Wednesday 11th March at 10am ๐ŸŒท

The group is open to mums with children under the age of three who are experiencing - or have experienced - anxiety, low mood, intrusive thoughts, or trauma.

Itโ€™s a space for mothers who may be finding it hard to cope or function during this sensitive season of life.

After all, it really does take a village to raise a child ๐Ÿ’›

The group will run every Wednesday -1pm for 4 weeks.

The group is led by myself, Maria Muscat, warranted Gestalt Psychotherapist, with a special interest in perinatal mental health.
