We are here to help women start their own healing process

Birth Trauma Counselling is a project supported by Help Women and Children , a non-profit Christian organization, with the aim to reach women who suffer from postnatal Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, who have had a difficult or traumatic birth and who feel the need to tell their stories or receive counselling.

Help Women and Children is run exclusively by volunteers in England and Peru and therefore in constant need of funding and donations. We rely on our books sale and fundraising activities to cover running costs.

Martha Jesty set up Help Women and Children in 2005 after suffering from post natal Post Traumatic Stress Disorder herself. Dozens of women got in touch with Martha after she distributed leaflets about her traumatic story. Since then through Birth Trauma Counselling she and her team has guided hundreds more traumatized mothers towards their own steps of recovery. Martha Jesty, author of Real Healing After Caesarean, is a committed Christian and a professional counsellor, member of the BACP** (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the APSCC (Association for Pastoral and Spiritual Care & Counselling).

Health clinics, hospitals, surgeries, churches, primary schools and all organizations that help and work with women and their families can directly refer them to Birth Trauma Counselling based in Surbiton. We run workshops in Surrey for health professionals and church leaders once a year. If your organization has a demand for any of our workshops or would like to display or distribute our flyers, please contact us today.

We run healing prayer meetings the first Friday of each month for all those who believe in the power of Jesus healing. Please contact prayeratbirthtraumacounselling.com
