Highly recommend this place in italy. It has a pool and it's very pretty there. We went three years ago. http://www.caserma-carina.co.uk/

As the summer holidays are in full swing I just remembered that I was briefly interviewed for an article in The Telegraph at the beginning of the year. Expert?s secret to family holidays: it?s how you travel, not where, that matters http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/family-holidays/the-expert-guide-to-creating-wow-moments-on-family-holidays/ My usual areas of specialisms are in anxiety disorders, depression, low self esteem and relationship difficulties for which I provide therapy in Dulwich. www.dulwichpsychologist.co.uk

I was recently interviewed for an article on postnatal anxiety which was published in Baby London Magazine. http://www.babylondon.co.uk/suffering-postnatal-anxiety/ I am a clinical psychologist in Dulwich based on Woodwarde Road and offer CBT, Psychological Therapy and Counselling. www.dulwichpsychologist.co.uk Dr Christine Langhoff

Just to add, I have also heard good things about the Mindful Mums Groups run by Mind in Penge. https://www.blmind.org.uk/bromley-services/support-mothers/mindful-mums/

Thank you very much for the recommendations. Mrs Jingles, you have already been in touch with me and unfortunately I do not work with BUPA (but with most of the other major insurance companies). Most private insurers do fund psychological therapy for PND and as has been said before access can be more rapid than NHS. I always offer an initial appointment within 7 days - sometimes on the same day if possible. I am also able to offer home visits to help with ease of access to psychological therapy in the early days, especially if it is difficult to leave the house. The service at the Maudsley is fantastic and offers both individual work as well as group sessions and access has become more rapid too. I have had both clients who initially went to the Maudsley and then started coming to me and also clients who had a few sessions with me first whilst waiting for NHS services. There are many websites that provide support as mentioned before. In addition there are some postnatal groups in various places, for example some run by the NCT, although these are not targeted at PND but can provide lots of support. I used to offer support groups locally but uptake was very limited and I have since stopped doing these groups. Some of my clients have found the Cedar House Support Groups very helpful - its a bit further afield (Balham and Battersea) but might still be an option. Another great resource is a book by Michelle Cree - The Compassionate Mind Approach to Postnatal Depression.

Self Compassion and Mindfulness Course An 8-week course run on Fridays ? Starting in April This is a novel course which draws on a number of different approaches involving mindfulness and self-compassion. There will be a focus on developing a kinder way of relating to ourselves especially during stressful or emotionally charged times. We can often be incredibly hard on ourselves instead of being encouraging which can lead to more stress, anxiety, low mood, anger and guilt. During the course there will be an emphasis on getting unstuck from these negative thinking and feeling cycles. The sessions will combine practices from Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Courses, Mindful Self Compassion, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focussed Therapy. During the eight weeks you will be taught new skills, take part in experiential exercises such as meditations and breathing exercises and you will have a chance to take part in group discussions to enhance your learning and experience of self-compassion and mindfulness. Studies of courses with similar content have shown improvements in life satisfaction and decreased levels of depression, anxiety and stress in participants. The course is open to all participants. You do not need to have any background in mindfulness or meditation. It is not a therapy group ? if you think that you would benefit from therapy sessions which are based on Compassion and Mindfulness or CBT, please contact me to discuss. Course Times: Friday Mornings 10.15am-12.15pm Course Dates: 21st April, 28th April, 5th May, 12th May, 19th May, 26th May, 2nd June and 9th June Fees: ? 295 Location: Woodwarde Road, SE22 How to enrol: Please contact me at [email protected] and I will send you a registration form About Me: I am a clinical psychologist and have worked in the NHS for many years. I now work exclusively in private practice in Dulwich. My training background is in cognitive behaviour therapy and systemic (family) therapy but I have now specialised in approaches which are often called Third Wave Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. These therapies include Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focussed Therapy. I am passionate about using mindfulness and self-compassion in therapy and regularly practice the meditations and exercises commonly used in these approaches myself.
