Our focus is on perinatal wellbeing

Becoming a parent involves huge adjustments to many areas of life and functioning for an individual, the couple and family as a whole. This is a transitional phase which presents many challenges and struggles.

We will work together with you to ease the inevitable stress and difficult emotions that come with this period, focusing upon psychic, emotional and physical health and development.

About Us

We aim to provide a safe space for you to talk and think, develop a support network, skills and confidence to improve maternal mood and reclaim your life.

10-20% of women are affected by perinatal mental health problems at some point during pregnancy and for the first year after birth

Around 13-15% experience common mental health problems such as perinatal anxiety and depression

Poor mental health is common during pregnancy and after birth, ranging from mild to moderate anxiety/depression to more severe mental illnesses such as bipolar, postpartum psychosis and post traumatic stress disorder

If left untreated, perinatal mental illness can cause significant anguish to mothers and partners, may lead to maternal death, and can impact on baby’s development

Perinatal mental illness can be treated with a range of interventions which not only benefit mothers, but can also improve parent-infant attachment

Here at PGP we meet the recommendations set out by Centre for Mental Health guidance, where we provide evidence based treatment according to NICE guidelines

We aim to take action to reduce pressure on general practice to enable longer consultations to be offered to women at risk of or with perinatal mental health problems

We are committed to reduce stigma among women with perinatal mental health difficulties

We provide systematic opportunities to focus on the mental health and wellbeing of mother and infant before a child’s first birthday

We collect monitoring data to reinforce the importance of supporting mother and infant mental health and wellbeing
