Talking Therapies (perinatal mental health)
Having a baby can be joyful, exciting, and rewarding. However, it is also common for pregnant women/birthing people and new mothers or fathers/partners to experience anxiety, depression, or emotional distress.
As many as one in five women/birthing people experience emotional difficulties during pregnancy and in the first year after their baby’s birth. This can happen to anyone.
Every London borough has a Talking Therapies service which offers free, confidential talking therapy for people who have symptoms of anxiety or depression. They give priority to pregnant women/birthing people and fathers/partners.
