Struggling with a new baby or toddler? Pregnant and worried? At MumsAid we know that the early years of parenthood can be the hardest. That is why we provide free specialist counselling in children’s centres across Greenwich to help new mums with their mental health problems.
We are increasingly getting enquiries from other London boroughs and beyond. Unfortunately at the moment we are only provide free support for women in the borough of Greenwich. If you were hoping to make a referral and are outside of that area please see our resources page or for those who are interested in the private service, please email: info@mums-aid.org

Referral Form“After a birth that didn’t go to plan, a tongue-tied baby who had trouble breastfeeding and having no family support it wasn’t long before I felt overwhelmed. As someone who had always been driven, positive ‘in control’ and motivated, the feelings that I experienced in early motherhood were entirely foreign and unbearable. I was aware I needed help.”
“Fortunately, I found MumsAid in a last-ditch Google search and they made asking for help easy when I really needed easy. There were no hoops to jump through, long waiting lists or judgement. Working with a wonderful therapist on a weekly basis I was able to process and start to manage my feelings.”
“I now absolutely love being a mother and have a wonderful bond with my son.”
