Nurture the Borders is a charity which offers emotional and mental health support to parents across the Scottish Borders from pregnancy through to their child’s second birthday. We provide counselling and psychotherapy in a safe, compassionate space to help parents experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or overwhelm. Parents can access one-to-one support at home or in the community, as well as trauma-informed birth preparation, birth trauma recovery support, and doula support. Peer befrienders and group sessions offer connection and reassurance for mums and dads, while baby workshops and antenatal classes help parents build confidence, bond with their babies, and feel more supported on their parenting journey. We’re here to walk alongside you — whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating early parenthood, or finding your feet again.
Self referrals welcome.
