Hi, I’m Rosie Kennedy, a Human Givens Counsellor, Psychotherapist, and proud mother of three. I’m so glad you’re here.

​
As a specialist in perinatal mental health, I offer compassionate support for parents at every stage of their journey—whether you’re dealing with low mood, anxiety, bonding challenges, or trauma. With over a decade of experience, I integrate evidence-based therapies to help mums, dads, and parents-to-be navigate the emotional challenges of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.

​

My Philosophy
As a mother of three, I intimately understand the joys and challenges of parenthood. I believe that prioritising mental health is one of the most important things we can do—not just for ourselves, but for our children. By addressing our struggles and healing from trauma, we create a ripple effect of emotional well-being that benefits our entire family. When parents are emotionally healthy, they can be fully present, engaged, and connected with their children..

​

With over a decade of experience supporting new parents, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative therapy can be. My journey into this field was deeply personal—after experiencing postnatal anxiety myself, I truly understand what it’s like to feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and even guilty for needing a break. These experiences are what drive my passion for helping mothers, fathers, and parents-to-be. I know that with the right support, it’s possible to find balance, emotional strength, and joy in parenthood..

​

Qualifications and Background
I bring a wealth of therapeutic knowledge and expertise to my practice. I'am a fully qualified and registered Human Givens Psychotherapist, I also hold certifications in Trauma-Focused CBT, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Infant Mental Health, and Video Interactive Guidance, among others. Over the past 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals from diverse backgrounds overcome a range of perinatal mental health challenges. My approach is always personalised, using the most effective evidence-based therapies to support parents in their journey toward healing and well-being. 

​​

In addition to my private practice, I am the Founder and Managing Director of Nurture the Borders, a specialist perinatal mental health charity. In this role, I lead a team of dedicated perinatal and infant mental health practioners, providing clinical supervision, specialist therapy, and perinatal education to help families thrive during pregnancy and the early stages of parenthood. Together, we support a wide range of parents, helping them navigate the emotional challenges of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.

​

Before founding Nurture the Borders, I worked within the NHS and local government, where I focused on reducing inequalities and supporting marginalised groups. I led initiatives in a wide variety of areas such as violence against women, domestic abuse, refugee relocation, addressing bullying in school environments and tackling poverty, experiences that deepened my understanding of the complex challenges parents face in different circumstances.

.​

My mission is to normalise the struggles of parenthood and provide the support parents need to thrive. I believe that when we feel nurtured, validated, and understood, it becomes much easier to care for ourselves and those we love. I am committed to offering a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can work through your challenges and emerge stronger—both for yourself and for your family.
