Hello and welcome

Thank you for visiting - please take your time and explore

I’m Athena, and I’d like to offer you a very warm welcome here. I’m a midwife & psychotherapist, and founder of The Birth Counsel. In my practice, I work with many kinds of people, although I have a special interest in the impacts of birth and the maternity care system. You can find out more by using the buttons below to explore what’s on offer, and whether it could be a good fit for you.

I love my work, and my community of clients. If you are curious, I invite you to come and dip your toe in - let’s see what happens together. If you have questions, please get in touch for a chat. We are currently in a phase of gentle expansion, so exciting new things will appear in this space over the next little while. Come back and visit again.
