Counselling Sessions
By using our counselling service, we can help provide you with a safe space to talk freely in a non-judgmental environment. Experiencing and understanding these feelings with someone that can support you emotionally won’t take away your grief, it’ll help you to navigate your own emotions to eventually heal in your own time.
You can use our service as an individual or as a couple. If you wish to refer yourself for our counselling service, please follow the guidelines below and fill out a small questionnaire about yourself.
Funded Counselling Sessions
Here at Mothers Matter we offer a free counselling service for families struggling with their perinatal journey.
Please note: As this is a free service, we are extremely busy. Therefore we have a cancellation policy.
Attendance to counselling sessions is recorded. Non-attendance to a pre-arranged counselling session is also recorded, and repeated non-attendance may lead to withdrawal from the scheme.
You matter, we matter, Mothers matter.
Let us hold your hand through the fog.
Cancellation Policy
We require 48 hours (2 working/business days e.g. Mon-Thurs) notice to cancel and / or change your appointed counselling timesslot. This notice period allows us to offer your original time slot to another mother waiting for their counselling session.
For example, if your session is to take place on a Monday, then you are to provide notice to Mothers Matter on a Thursday, which gives us 2 working days notice.
You will need to telephone our centre or send an email within this notice period to: info@mothersmattercic.co.uk to change or cancel a session that you have booked with our counsellors.
You will be asked about booking another session at an alternative time, or if you wish to withdraw from our scheme.
A £15 charge will be made payable to Mothers Matter for cancellations and non attendance, with less than 2 working days notice.
Attendance to counselling sessions is recorded. Non-attendance to a pre-arranged counselling session is also recorded, and repeated non-attendance may lead to withdrawal from the scheme.
