We know that pregnancy, parenting and healthy loving relationships can be profoundly wonderful, yet often challenging and romanticised in culture, while the very real struggles are silenced. The Nest Club was founded in 2018 in response to a clear and growing need - therapy that genuinely reflects the realities of modern life. Accessible. Inclusive. Compassionate. From a small idea - to support parents and couples in the moments that matter most - The Nest Club has grown into a trusted online space where therapy is no longer a last resort, but an everyday act of care.
From a long fertility journey or complicated pregnancy to the chaos of parenting and the complexities of relationships, we know that mental health support is often last on the list. We believe it should be part of everyday care, helping people not just to get through, but to truly thrive. We’re here for the moments when life feels heavy, confusing, overwhelming, or just a little off. Whether you’re in a difficult place or simply wanting to prioritise your wellbeing, you’ll find compassionate, qualified therapists at The Nest Club ready to listen and support.
The Nest Club grew out of my work with the NHS at UCLH, co-creating postnatal support for parents. Through that work, I became aware of a real gap in care...the emotional and mental health support available to people going through some of the biggest changes of their lives. Parents were finding their way through exhaustion, a changing sense of identity and new roles within their relationships, often with very little support or family nearby. Alongside it all was an expectation that they should just know how to do this; how to become a parent, stay connected as a couple and somehow keep the plates spinning whilst often feeling like they lost themselves along the way.
As a psychotherapist and couples therapist, I wanted to make space for the parts of life that can be difficult to talk about. I founded The Nest Club in 2018 to help individuals, couples and families find thoughtful, compassionate therapy through these changes. That care extends across fertility, pregnancy, parenthood and relationships, recognising that everyone’s experience and every family is different. My ambition is to make therapy a normal, accessible part of care through these life stages. For more people to have somewhere to talk, understand what’s happening, make sense of how they’re feeling and understand each other a little better...without having to wait until everything feels too much.
Working in collaboration with the NHS, public health and leading figures in obstetrics, midwifery, we launched to transform the approach to care and support for parents, couples and families. With so few receiving the care and support they need particularly when it comes to mental health and wellness during some of the biggest and most important journeys in life, our mission now is to find ways to offer a more affordable, accessible, high quality approach to psychotherapy and counselling.
We believe that if every parent to be, every parent, every couple, every family had access to the support they needed, it would massively improve the social and economic welfare of the nation. When families are supported, relationships are more stable, children thrive, workplaces are healthier, and communities are more resilient. Access to timely, compassionate psychological care is not a luxury, it's the foundation that creates stability and protects wellbeing.
Some of the most wonderfully dedicated, compassionate and awe-inspiring experts in the health and wellness space have supported The Nest Club along the way since its launch in 2018.
