 “I first came into contact with the Birth Trauma Counselling a few years ago. At that stage it was probably fair to say that, at times, I was near to suicide. After the birth of my child, I had been misdiagnosed by my GP with post natal depression, and was not getting any help at all from any NHS services such as health visitors - my GP surgery no longer had a full time health visitor - or from the hospital where I had given birth; I think they do not recognise the condition, and have failed to offer any assistance despite correspondence with them.
Quite simply I do not believe that I would be here without the help of Birth Trauma Counselling. Through Birth Trauma Counselling, I was able to find out more about the condition, identify a local hospital where I could get further support, and more than anything was able to regularly talk to someone who understood.

It also allowed me to really enjoy the final stages of my pregnancy as I waddled about. I really took care of myself and Alice throughout the pregnancy..
