Megan Baldry

Hi, I'm Megan, it's good to have you here.

I'm a counsellor and psychotherapist who supports women during pregnancy and postpartum.

I work Wednesday and Friday daytimes and Saturday mornings. I offer online and phone appointments. 

I offer weekly 60-minute sessions at a cost of £70 each. I also offer ad-hoc 90-minute sessions which are an opportunity to pause and reflect on a specific aspect of your life in detail so you can leave with greater understanding of your situation and a plan of how to move forward. Each ad-hoc session costs £100. 

As a first step, I offer a free, no-obligation 20-minute introduction call to answer any of your questions, discuss how I can support you, and to discuss if regular or ad-hoc sessions would be best suited to your situation. After this session, if you feel that I am a good fit for you, you can choose to go on a book your next session. You can use my website booking system to book in your introduction call. 

Are you finding yourself...

• Feeling low or depressed
• Struggling to manage emotions such as anger and sadness
• Experiencing intrusive, distressing thoughts, including about harming your baby
• Experiencing challenges in your relationships
• Feeling overwhelmed with stress, anxiety or feeling the need to be perfect
• Grieving after a miscarriage or baby loss
• Noticing past challenges, including childhood experiences, resurfacing
• Finding that a difficult or traumatic birth experience is still impacting you
• Struggling to adjust to your new identity, life, or body

These experiences are very common in pregnancy and postpartum.

You are going through a time of many changes: your identity, your relationships, your hormones, your sleep, and the time you have for yourself and the things that once helped you cope.

Struggling during such a significant life change is not a reflection of how much you love your baby or how good a mother you are. It simply means you’re may need some extra support to help you navigate the changes that come with this new chapter.

I support women to navigate these challenges, build resilience, and discover greater confidence and joy in motherhood. 

I can support you to...

• Feel more confident as a mum by learning to turn down your inner critical voice
• Feel more grounded and in control by gaining tools to manage overwhelming stress, anxiety, and emotions
• Rediscover joy in motherhood by gently challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns
• Remove distress from intrusive thoughts and no longer feel compelled to do compulsive behaviours
• Improve relationships by understanding how past experiences shape current patterns
• Find space to grieve after miscarriage or baby loss in a warm, compassionate environment
• Begin to heal after a traumatic birth by being supported to process what happened
• Grow into your new identity and life as a parent and make self-aware decisions that feel right for you
• Be more present in motherhood by having space to process and move forward from past challenges

A bit about me

At the heart of how I work is providing a non-judgemental, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and supported.

I draw upon my training in various evidence-based approaches to find a way of working together that feels most supportive to you.

Training and qualifications

I hold a MSc (distinction) in counselling and psychotherapy from Keele University.

Additional training I have completed includes:

• A level 3 award in perinatal mental health 
• A British psychological society approved certificate in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) (an approach which is helpful in addressing unhelpful and distressing thoughts and behaviours)
• An 3-day introduction to the theory and practice of compassion-focused therapy (an approach which is particularly helpful for the self-criticism and feelings of inadequacy that often come up in the perinatal period)
• Compassion-focused therapy and parenting training
• Primary Certificate in Stress Management
• Further training courses in areas such as miscarriage and baby loss, fertility challenges, working online, working with shame, and working with trauma including birth trauma

As a first step, I offer a free, no-obligation 20-minute introduction call to answer any of your questions, discuss how I can support you, and to discuss if regular or ad-hoc sessions would be best suited to your situation. After this session, if you feel that I am a good fit for you, you can choose to go on a book your next session. You can use my website booking system to book in your introduction call.
