Therapeutic Art Group
From "Me" to Mum" - my mindful way through pregnancy
This group is for pregnant women who want to meet other pregnant women to compare notes, exchange ideas, and make new connections. It's a place where you can bring any experience you’re having, whether it's unsettling mood swings, joyful anticipation and excitement, excessive physical discomfort, anxiety about childbirth and parenting, feelings of hopelessness and despair, or a sense of being overwhelmed and burdened.
The main goal of this therapeutic group is to help pregnant women reduce stress. Stress reduction is a crucial aspect of achieving better health and preventing certain complications for expectant mothers.

Our program
Sessions focus on emotional de-cluttering, better connection with yourself and your baby, preparation for labour, and recent discoveries in the psychology of birth. The complete program is designed for 10 weeks and can be extended if needed.
Our ante-natal Groups run Tuesdays 6 - 8:30pm. To register, download and complete the form below and email to maternalmentalwellbeing@gmail.com
2025 ante-natal Groups commence on 4th of February 2025.
Join us in a supportive group designed to celebrate the wonders of the transition to motherhood and address the emotional challenges of pregnancy.
Learn effective coping strategies, build a strong support network, and navigate the complex range of emotions that pregnancy can evoke with confidence and support.
Enrolment
We welcome women at any gestational age of pregnancy. No referral from your GP or midwife is necessary; we accept self-referrals. You can refer yourself via email or our contact page.
Sessions are free of charge, and we ask that you commit to attending the full term of sessions (10 sessions) or as many as you can, depending on your pregnancy term. This commitment ensures the continuity and effectiveness of our support program.
