PMH Borders continues to offer specialist perinatal mental health support for parents across the Scottish Borders.
Our current services are available Tuesday to Thursday, 9am to 5pm, and are mainly offered in person at East Lodge, Elm Row, Galashiels. Sessions can also be provided online or by phone where required.
Current support includes:
- A free initial assessment session
- Counselling and psychotherapy
- Art psychotherapy
- Dyadic parent-infant therapy
- EMDR therapy
- Walk and talk sessions
- Creche service on Wednesdays and Thursdays
- 12 weekly sessions
We are now offering a pay-what-you-can self-referral service. This is a subsidised service where parents are asked to contribute towards the cost of their sessions according to household income and affordability.
For those who are able to contribute more, we also offer a pay-it-forward option. Parents who feel they have benefited from PMH Borders often ask how they can give something back. A fixed fee of GBP 60 per session, with the option to add a further donation, can help support the continuation of our service and contribute towards free spaces for families who are unable to pay.
No one should feel discouraged from getting in touch. The initial assessment helps us understand your situation and talk through what support may be suitable.
