Sarah Edge

Mon- Fri 09 30- 14 30 

My name is Sarah Edge and I specialise in providing person- centered mental health support, in the form of Counselling and Psychotherapy for Pregnant and Postnatal women and people, from the Bump and Baby Hideout in Sale, Manchester.

Having a baby is perhaps one of the biggest psychological, physical and emotional adjustments you may ever experience. It is not unusual to notice an increase in anxiety and a decrease in mood around this time. You may have experienced difficulties in conceiving, in pregnancy, birth trauma, difficulties feeding and let's not forget being pregnant in and/ or giving birth during a global pandemic, all of which may impact your mental health postpartum.

I am a qualified, experienced and accredited therapist, but I am also a mother of two young children. It was my personal experience of postnatal mental ill health, that inspired me to start this perinatal specialist service.

I provide perinatal specialist counselling & psychotherapy (talking therapy), with a focus on pre & postnatal mental health (and surrounding issues).

I describe my style as person- centered, compassion focused and trauma aware.

I believe that making, carrying, birthing and raising babies involves some level of loss, physical and emotional trauma and that women deserve time and support to physically and emotionally recover.

I try to be affordable and flexible and have options to bring your baby if childcare is a barrier, work by phone if leaving the house is difficult and book ad hoc or regular sessions (whichever suits your needs, budget, access to childcare and/ or availability).

I provide a mix of evening, morning and afternoon appointments Mon- Thu and a single session is priced at £59 for 50 minutes. As I work with new mums, and as I mum myself, I know there may be times you are unable to attend at short notice, I do not charge in full, for missed sessions.

I have both an undergraduate and postgraduate degree in psychology, as well as a postgraduate diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy.  I have extensive knowledge and experience supporting new and pregnant mothers & have a busy and thriving therapy practice. I have professional relationships with a number of recognised charities supporting new mothers and parents, as well as growing social media pages @maternalmentalhealthmanual. I have written a manual supporting women's mental health in the postpartum which can be found at www.maternalmentalhealthmanual.com. 

Hi, I’m Sarah Edge and I am a BACP accredited counsellor psychotherapist and supervisor, specialising in supporting women in the perinatal period.

I have extensive experience as a counsellor psychotherapist in both the charity sector and private practice, and substantial experience as a clinical supervisor.

I am a person- centered therapist, and supervisor, and endeavor to work collaboratively to support both you and your best practice.

Supervision is a vital component of counselling psychotherapy practice, and given my area of expertise, I feel I would be most suited to qualified counsellors working with women’s health and well- being, perinatal mental health/ support and other life transitions (menopause).

If you have any questions or would like to know more, I offer free 30minute phone consultations to those looking for supervision, please get in touch edgetherapy@outlook.com.

I offer face to face, online (zoom) or phone supervision, either monthly or ad- hoc to meet your professional needs and requirements.

£79 for 90minutes.

From September 2023
