What better time to start focussing on you, and your wellbeing? This is a six week course, delivered via Zoom, which will help you to develop skills in mindfulness and identify what's most important to you. It will provide you with the opportunity to think about you, and how you can prioritise your wellbeing, despite the competing demands of life. There will be time at the end of each session to ask the facilitators questions and further reflect on your wellbeing journey.

A 2.5 hour workshop for parents-to-be, delivered by experienced Clinical Psychologists.

Much of the advice we receive as parents-to-be focuses upon the physical experience of pregnancy and giving birth or the practical skills that may be required as you become a new parent. However, what is often missing is the emotional and psychological preparation that is vital to ensuring you can become the parents YOU want to be.

With Baby in Mind will equip you with mindfulness skills you can use throughout pregnancy and beyond; to bring you a sense of calmness and connection to your current experience, helping you to avoid the common trap of getting caught up in daily stresses. These will be skills you can use during the birth of your baby, helping you emotionally through whatever birth experience you have, as well as in those early days and weeks following your baby’s arrival, when emotionally, things can sometimes feel overwhelming. The Kind Mind encourages partners to attend too as these skills are helpful for everyone.

You may also feel there are already a lot of expectations set upon you by friends, family, other parents, professionals, the media, etc., about how you should manage your pregnancy, on what sort of birth experience you should have, and how you should parent your baby. But what about what YOU want, what YOU value, what sort of parent YOU want to be? With Baby in Mind will help you to begin to identify what is important to you and how these core values can guide you through the parenting adventure.

Life is made up of moments of joy and happiness, and moments of sadness, worry, and despair. All of us struggle from time to time. Perhaps you have experienced loss, bereavement, or trauma, or you are finding yourself anxious about pregnancy, birth or parenthood.

Or perhaps your child might be struggling with their feelings and you are unsure how best to support them or how best to respond to their behaviour. 

​

We offer individual psychology sessions for people who may prefer a bespoke service, tailored to their needs and their families.

​

We draw on a range of psychological models to help understand your current difficulties and to find a way forward together. 

We will shortly be offering a series of four mindfulness classes for parents with newborns. The classes will focus on teaching mindfulness skills which can help you cope with the challenges of parenthood and beyond. We will help you and your baby to become attuned to one another through a range of mindfulness meditation exercises, such as mindful walking, mindful eating, mindful breathing and mindful play.
