MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH & WELLBEING:
AN INTRODUCTION TO WORKING THERAPEUTICALLY WITH MOTHERS IN THE PERINATAL PERIOD
Join experienced counsellor and psychotherapist Sarah Edge for a webinar exploring maternal mental health and how therapists can feel more confident supporting mothers in clinical practice.
Drawing on over 15 years of therapeutic experience, including six years specialising in maternal mental health, this workshop offers a compassionate and person-centred introduction to the psychological realities of pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to motherhood.
Together, we will explore the emotional impact of motherhood, including themes of identity change, trauma, grief, loss, adjustment, infant feeding experiences, bonding concerns, and the wider challenges that can contribute to psychological distress during the perinatal period.
Rather than focusing on diagnosis or clinical assessment, this webinar aims to deepen your understanding of motherhood as a significant life transition and provide valuable context for working therapeutically with mothers.
Participants will (hopefully) leave with greater confidence in welcoming mothers into their practice, better understanding their experiences, and responding with empathy, knowledge, and sensitivity.
This interactive session encourages discussion, reflection, and questions throughout, creating a supportive learning environment where practitioners can build their confidence, and recognise their exisiting competence, in this important area of mental health.
