What People Say About Us

 I contacted the Facebook page, & had a very speedy friendly personal reply that made me feel valued & important following previous communication (or lack of) from other providers. It helped me realise its ok to feel the way I do. My feelings are justified & talking is so important. Everyone from Frome birth talk I have met or communicated with have been friendly, positive & made me feel valued. Since my sessions I feel more in control of my feelings & emotions & am more aware of certain things now. My experience has helped me encourage other mums to reach out & get the help they need!

The counselling I received from Helen was so helpful to my wellbeing. She helped me to work through the trauma of a previous miscarriage and the fears of a new pregnancy. She was non-judgemental and gave me the space and time to address and work through various issues. Once they were addressed and confronted I felt more able to move forward in a positive direction. Thank you for offering such an invaluable service to women at such a pivotal time of life, growing a new life! I feel so fortunate to have had the counselling I needed and feel so much better equipped to start this new journey into motherhood with a more positive and stronger outlook.

The counselling helped me in lots of ways and I felt so much better just after a few sessions. It felt a real relief to talk about how I’d been feeling and to find ways to manage my anxiety. Frome Birth Talk are amazing, they provided me with the help and counselling I needed after the birth of my little boy. I was feeling very anxious at times and overwhelmed with the responsibility. Talking to someone about these feelings really helped me manage my anxiety and put things into perspective. Thank you so much for your support and help Frome Birth Talk x

From the moment I sent the email (a hard thing to do when you are feeling low) I felt reassured and had an instant reply, the counselling was set up quickly and I was able to start almost straight away, all the correspondence was friendly. It was really helpful, It helped me to think about why I was feeling low and anxious and knowing I had that space to talk meant I didn’t feel I had to bother anyone else with my worries, I didn’t finish the whole course as it made me focus on the right things and my mood increased quickly after starting the sessions but without attending I think I would have sunk lower into depression.

 
After having my second son, I really struggled. Sleep deprivation, breast feeding, and just feeling like a terrible mum. I couldn't control these negative horrible feelings. I was told about a service called Frome Birth Talk from someone on social media. After contacting them, I was very quickly given a weekly counselling slot for 6 weeks. I was amazed how quickly I was able to get it started. The sessions were fantastic. My counsellor knew exactly how to help me and how to talk me through my thoughts and feelings each week. Without her help, I don't know how I'd be feeling now! I was finally able to start enjoying having my baby.

It is even better that they run a baby group for mums and pregnant women. I used this group for 5 months before I went back to work. Having a place to go to where I can openly talk about my feelings with other mums who understand is fantastic. There are not many groups where mums can meet so this is a great place to go and is very welcoming to all.

Thank you Frome Birth Talk for all of your support throughout the last year and your continued support to many mums!
