Parental Wellbeing Sessions

£15/hour

Need a listening ear, reset, or space to think?

These calm, supportive check-ins are designed for parents who want a little space to reflect or offload.

Please note: These are not therapy or clinical services, but relaxed wellbeing-focused conversations informed by my background in psychology and childcare.

A few notes:
I’m not a registered psychologist, but I hold a Psychology degree.

I’m currently updating my Enhanced DBS (although I do currently have one on my profile and will also be looking into updating my paediatric first aid training)

I work via public transport.

I am unvaccinated but, happy to test if and when needed for parental peace of mind.

Travel costs are included within North Hertfordshire.

Outside this area, travel will be added based on time and location (e.g. London, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire).

Full train fares will apply for longer distances such as Central London.

Please let me know if you are interested.
