ABOUT US
Frome Birth Talk care about the emotional wellbeing of parents in Frome. We provide:
  • Free counselling with professional therapists
  • Weekly drop-in groups
  • Baby loss support groups
  • Wellbeing events
Frome Birth Talk provides the only free, face-to-face counselling service specifically for pregnant women, people who have lost a baby, and new parents in Frome and the surrounding areas. 

Frome Birth Talk began after the funding for the free counselling service in Frome Hospital (mostly used by pregnant and postnatal patients) was cut at the end of 2016. We are a small dedicated group of women who decided to fundraise in order to enable this valuable service to continue - we believe that making this service accessible to local families in need is essential. 
 
Frome Birth Talk exists to provide a free counselling service and wellbeing events and activities for anyone who is pregnant and new parents to promote good perinatal mental health, a positive start for the baby and resilient family relationships. We do this by funding and promoting a free professional one-to-one counselling service for pregnant women and new parents (in the first two years of parenthood), as well as offering a combination of free and fundraising events showcasing complementary therapies and good self-care. 
 
People can self-refer for six sessions of counselling when they feel the need and are usually seen within 2 weeks. NHS England estimates that up to 20 per cent of women experience depression, anxiety and low mood during this life stage (and men are also affected), so Frome Birth Talk aims to raise awareness of this common experience and help people to overcome it and enjoy parenthood to the full. 
 
If you find yourself struggling and need a place to talk things through with a counsellor, please get in touch.
