Postnatal Depression

---

You may be looking at this page because you are wondering if you have postnatal depression or it may be that you experienced this in the past and are living with the guilt and sadness that it left you with.

I have long been passionate about making a difference in the lives of women who have been affected by postnatal depression; first as a mother experiencing it at first hand, then in my health visiting career and now as a life coach and also a postnatal depression expert for Greatvine, the internet advice service.

In 2010 I was invited to be a trustee for the Joanne Bingley Memorial Foundation which works to:-

• Help and support other people who are suffering or may suffer from the effects of postnatal depression and the devastating effect it has on a family.
• Raise awareness, tackle stigma, promote research and educate people about postnatal depression.
