Parent and Baby Psychology Service
A team of clinical psychologists offer brief psychological interventions for parents expecting a baby and parents with a baby in the first year who are struggling with the transition to parenthood.
The service provides a safe place for parents or expectant parents to share in confidence their thoughts and feelings about becoming a parent. It aims to improve the emotional wellbeing of parents, enabling them to develop positive relationships with their baby.
Parents with severe post-natal depression or chronic or severe mental health problems should be referred to the Perinatal Mental Health Team
