Thank you so much for being there and providing a service like this - I didn't think there was anyone out there!

Charlotte and Yvonne welcome you to the Postnatal Illness Care Practice!
.... About Yvonne Adams

 

Following a twenty year career as a trained nurse, I qualified as a counsellor in 2002. I have worked in various counselling settings including domestic violence, alcohol abuse and bereavement.

My aim is to offer a safe, calm, open and non-judgemental environment in which we will explore your experience of postnatal illness. This will be done on a weekly basis for fifty minutes and at a time suitable to us both.

I am committed to removing the stigma and lack of understanding surrounding postnatal illness. I feel strongly that it is often ignored and treated dismissively. Mums are often left trying to cope not only with a new baby, but also the demands that motherhood brings. If you are feeling very ill and at a time when everyone tells you that you should be so happy this can make you feel even worse.

Having suffered from postnatal illness and survived, I feel privileged to be able to offer one to one counselling for other sufferers.

To know the trainers had also experienced antenatal and postnatal depression gave me the courage to open up in the group. Thanks for your honesty and encouragement.
