Sarah Edge

Mon- Fri am/pm/ evening appointments 

Please contact for current availability. 

My name is Sarah Edge and I specialise in providing person-centered mental health support, in the form of Counselling and Psychotherapy for Pregnant and Postnatal women and people, including mothers and birthing parents of older children, online, by phone and face to face from Thrive Wellbeing Hub in Sale, Manchester.

Having a baby is perhaps one of the biggest psychological, physical and emotional adjustments you may ever experience. It is not unusual to notice an increase in anxiety and a decrease in mood around this time. You may have experienced difficulties in conceiving, in pregnancy, miscarriage and/ or baby loss, birth trauma, difficulties following birth, perhaps with feeding and of course some or all of the above, in the context of your existing life, with perhaps other grief and stress to manage, all of which may impact your mental health in motherhood. 

I am a qualified, experienced and accredited therapist, but I am also a mother of two young children. It was my personal experience of postnatal mental ill health, that inspired me to start this perinatal specialist service.

I provide person centered counselling & psychotherapy (talking therapy), specialising in pre & postnatal mental health (and surrounding issues).

I believe that making, carrying, birthing and raising babies involves some level of loss, physical and emotional trauma and that women deserve time and support to physically and emotionally recover.

I try to be affordable and flexible and have options to bring your baby if childcare is a barrier, work by phone if leaving the house is difficult and book ad hoc or regular sessions (whichever suits your needs, budget, access to childcare and/ or availability).

I provide a mix of evening, morning and afternoon appointments Mon- Thu and a single session is priced at £69 for 50 minutes. As I work with new mums, and as I mum myself, I know there may be times you are unable to attend at short notice, I do not charge in full, for missed sessions.

I have both an undergraduate and postgraduate degree in psychology, as well as a postgraduate diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy.  I have extensive knowledge and experience supporting new and pregnant mothers & have a busy and thriving therapy practice. I have professional relationships with a number of recognised charities supporting new mothers and parents, as well as growing social media page @maternalmentalhealthwellbeing.

Hi, I am Sarah Edge and I run Edge Therapy from Thrive Wellbeing Hub. 

I provide counselling & psychotherapy and supervision, with a focus on pre & postnatal mental health (and surrounding issues). I work online, by phone and face to face.

I describe my therapy style as working from a person- centred foundation, integrating concepts from the compassion focussed and trauma informed approaches. I centre my way of working around five main principles; acknowledging trauma, loss and adjustment, normalising psychological distress in the perinatal period, psychoeducation, compassion, and authenticity.

I offer a personalised and person- centred approach to postpartum psychological care.

I focus on working with women, and perinatal mental health (and associated anxiety and depression compounded by hormones, trying to conceive, pregnancy, baby loss, birth, infant feeding and the postnatal period). This is where I feel my strengths, skill and knowledge exist, and I am passionate about supporting women through some of the most vulnerable and life changing times in their life. I also believe that making, carrying, birthing and raising babies involves some level of loss, physical and emotional trauma and that women deserve time and support to physically and emotionally recover.

I am an accredited BACP (British Association for Counsellors Psychotherapist) person- centred therapist, working in private practice, specialising in supporting mothers in pregnancy and early motherhood. I have over a decade’s experience as a counsellor psychotherapist, however, have specialised in the field of perinatal mental health and well- being in the past four years. As well as providing therapy and supervision, I also offer professional consultation, training and teaching & lecturing in the professional field of maternal mental health and wellbeing. 

I also offer commissioned work for podcasts, online content, blogs, articles, training, lectures and webinars. My current portfolio of work includes commissioned writing for Nourished, MASIC, Fed is Best Foundation, & Parenting for Tomorrow, as well as featuring in Therapy Today. I have featured on the Podcast Blue Mum Days as well as featuring on Instagram Lives with Eve Canavan BEM & Perinatal Mental Health Partnership during Maternal Menta Health Awareness week. I have developed bespoke commissioned training for healthcare professionals working therapeutically and compassionately with trauma, funded by Nestle Health Science. I have further experience facilitating group support sessions for mums struggling with their mental health, through PANDAS Trafford, as well as MASIC foundation. 

I am able to offer training on the subject of maternal mental health and well- being and related topics for counselling students and qualified professionals from college to postgraduate level.

I would be most suited to those also working with women/ mothers, life transitions and related fields of work. (I welcome enquiry from trainee and student counsellors on placement working in related fields). 

I have a person- centred approach to clinical supervision, and believe good clinical supervision, like good therapy, does not need to be fussy or complicated. I aim to provide a supportive and respectful environment that you feel safe to explore your clinical practice, aiding your growth and development as a therapist. I tend to breakdown supervision into three main areas; you and your needs as a person and practitioner, the needs of your clients/ client work and your professional growth and development and my role in this. I believe the supervision relationship should be based around mutual respect, professionalism and shared experience, and will be guided by your professional and supervisory goals and needs. I believe supervision should be an empowering, but also enjoyable process.

I receive a number of requests about professional consultation to ask questions about the development of private practice and/or working with perinatal mental health. These consultations are available as both one- off or regular/ semi regular where there is already an existing supervisor in place or prior to client work. I advise those seeking professional consultation to have a think about what you want out of the consultation and think about any questions you particularly want to explore.

I work online, by phone and face to face in Sale, South Manchester.
