How we support families

THE EARLY SPACE

1:1 Check-in with an OT for Children Under 2.

For parents who feel something’s not quite right — even if no one else seems to see it.

A gentle space to ask questions and explore your child’s development with care, curiosity, and support.

THE INNER WORK OF MOTHERHOOD

1:1 Maternal Mental Health Sessions.

Because motherhood changes everything — including you. And when you’re holding so much, you deserve to be held too.

A space to return to yourself — for mothers and parents craving steadiness, softness, and support as they move through the ever-changing landscape of parenthood.

The Innerwork of Motherhood

A supportive space to explore your emotional, mental, and nervous system wellbeing during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

This is not about fixing you — it's about holding you as you navigate the deep inner shifts of becoming (or continuing to be) a mother.

Together, we explore the things that feel heavy, overwhelming, or invisible — with compassion and practical support.

WHO IS THIS FOR

Expectant, first-time, or returning mothers — whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, each season of motherhood brings its own emotional, physical, and identity shifts.
Parents navigating anxiety, burnout, identity changes, or feeling emotionally stretched
Parents who feel disconnected from themselves or their experience — like you’re going through the motions but don’t quite feel you.
Parents experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety or intrusive thoughts — if you’re feeling unlike yourself, overwhelmed, or struggling, you want to build connection with your child but feel stuck, numb, or emotionally distant.
Parents feeling dysregulated or overstimulated — because forming secure attachment starts with supporting your nervous system too.

FOR WHEN YOU'VE THOUGHT....

“I love my baby… but sometimes I don’t like being around them.”

“Maybe I’m just not cut out for this.”

“I should be coping better than this.”

“I don’t have postnatal depression, so I probably don't need help.”

“I wanted this baby so why aren't I enjoying being a mother? ”

“It’s just a rough patch, I should be able to figure it out on my own.”

“I shouldn’t need help. Other people have it harder. I should be grateful.”

“I’m doing everything for everyone — but who’s looking after me?”

If any of these sound familiar, know this: you are not alone, and needing support doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means you’re human.
This space is here to hold you, exactly as you are.

Sessions are offered in person at The Midwives House, Thornbury

The Early Space

You know your baby best.If you’ve noticed subtle signs, delays, differences — or if something just doesn’t feel quite right — this space offers a place to explore those concerns without shame, pressure, or fear.

The Early Space is a gentle, attuned session for parents who have questions or concerns about their baby or toddler’s development — even if they can’t quite put it into words.

We explore early signs across play, movement, social interaction, connection and attachment, emotional regulation, communication, and sensory responses with a balance of clinical insight and deep listening.

Whether it’s challenges with sleep, feeding, settling, meltdowns, connection, play or sensory sensitivities, we look beyond the surface to understand the full picture:
your child’s development, their environment, and your unique relationship with them.

This isn’t about rushing to a label.

It’s about trusting your gut, noticing early, and supporting both you and your child with care, clarity, and compassion.

WHO IS THIS FOR:

Parents who are concerned about their baby or child’s development — whether it’s missed milestones, motor delays, or something that just doesn’t feel quite right, even if others say “it’s fine”
Parents of sensory-sensitive babies and toddlers — whose little ones may react strongly to sound, touch, light, or transitions.
Parents who want reassurance or early guidance — not just to “wait and see”
Parents who are finding it hard to connect or bond with their baby — especially when exhaustion, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm are getting in the way.
Parents who are wondering if their child’s sleep, feeding, communication, or emotional responses seem different to others their age.
Neurodiverse parents — who want to raise their child in a way that feels aligned and affirming of both their needs and their child’s.

FOR WHEN YOU'VE THOUGHT....

“They’re not hitting milestones like other kids their age.”

“They cry constantly and nothing I do helps.”

“Is that normal?”

“They’re so sensitive — it’s hard to get through the day.”

“People keep saying ‘they’ll grow out of it,’ but my gut I don't believe that.”

“Something just feels off — and I need someone to really listen.”

1:1 sessions for childhood development concerns 0-2years (maximum 6 sessions)

Sessions are offered in person at The Midwives House, Thornbury
