MOTHERHOOD PSYCHOLOGY GROUPS

Deconstructing Mummy are professionally led psychology groups for new mothers, mothers-to-be and women thinking about becoming mothers. Groups meet for 8 sessions. The groups are led by Marianna Sidiropoulou, HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist and a mother herself.

MOTHERHOOD AND THE COUPLE

THE NEW SELF (Differences, Aspirations, Work)

New groups are starting in May @ the "That Place on the Corner Cafe"

The bookings are for the 8 weeks, no new members are allowed once the group starts. 
Spaces are limited to 8 people per group and the cost is 216£ for all 8 sessions. Early bird offers apply.
Kindly note that babysitting has to be arranged as the groups encourage thinking on oneself and time away from the baby (to charge batteries!)
