Out of the Fog Group Therapy

Out of the Fog is a free group therapy course for parents experiencing symptoms of perinatal depression and anxiety. Led by two counsellors, it is a safe space to connect, share, and heal with others who understand.
Becoming a mum can be a beautiful time, but for many it comes with feelings of isolation, overwhelm, and stress. If you are consistently feeling worried, low or tired, and struggling to find moments of joy in parenting, then Out of the Fog may help. This group therapy course is designed to provide a supportive space where you can connect with other parents who understand what you’re going through and develop strategies to help you thrive as a parent.
