Help with Post-Natal Depression (PND)

Please do give Siobhan McCarthy a call for any post-natal anxiety/depression issues. (And shout-out to anyone suffering - you will get through it I promise, but it's horrible and you have my sympathy.)

Siobhan saw me last summer when I was in a bad way having had my first baby - difficult birth and major problems bonding with him, having very dark thoughts, feeling very scared about the illness of PND itself and when it would end. I saw Siobhan weekly for a few months, then less frequently and have recently had my last session which I am sad about but at the same time relieved that I am strong enough now not to need any more for the time being.

As well as motherhood we have worked through some issues and mental clutter that had been building up. I feel very much over the worst of PND and am a happy mummy now. Siobhan's taught me so much about how the brain/anxiety/depression works and given me some invaluable tips for controlling negative thoughts, and about parenting too. I never once felt judged in our sessions and she was always kind, warm, patient and sympathetic. Don't hesitate to get in touch, and even if you don't feel it's working at once stick with it. I felt it starting to help after the first two or three sessions. Feel free to PM me. Thanks, Emma

I totally agree with the above. I saw Siobhan after having my first baby. I had a whole load of feelings and baggage that I needed help working through. She was so helpful and nonjudgmental and gave me the tools and the space I needed to process all my feelings, ones I was aware of and then the ones I wasn?t. I highly recommend her. Thank you Siobhan.

I'd like to add my own recommendation for Dr McCarthy. I had severe post natal anxiety after the birth of my first son and was lucky enough to find Siobhan when I really needed her. She has helped me through some very difficult times with compassion, empathy, professionalism and practical advice. I am out the other side now and am so grateful to Siobhan for being a large part of my recovery (alongside other treatments).

PND is a very difficult illness so having someone with experience in this area really helps.

Luckily we were able to use health insurance through my husband's work to cover the cost and it was really easy to do so (via Aviva). Similar to above, please do PM me if you have any questions about Dr McCarthy or PND in general.
