Being a mum is hard. Being an expat is hard. Raising a family away from your usual support network is hard. We get it, we’ve been there, we are there… But there’s no reason that you can’t stop, take stock of the situation and reaccess. And if you’ve taken the step of recognising that you may need a bit of support with your own mental wellbeing, then we’ve put together a list of amazing British mums who specialise in a range of different disciplines from life coaches to psychologists, who are all ready to help. Whatever your struggles, help is at hand, so please reach out!

Harriet Mandak, Holistic Life Coach

Harriet is a Holistic Life Coach & Mindset Mentor who specialises in working with mums to help them overcome some of the imbalance of life that comes with having children and rediscover their identity and purpose outside of motherhood. Her unique 4 month coaching programme, “Journey Back to You” is designed to help mothers reconnect with themselves (outside all the external roles and responsibilities placed upon them) and who they are at their core so that they can show up as the most, authentic, empowered and confident versions of themselves, whilst modelling the same to their children.

Harriet offers free discovery calls for anyone wishing to find out more about her coaching and how she can support you on your journey of empowerment and reconnecting to yourself.

Find her on Instagram or visit her website for more information.

Nikki Steele Osborne, Life Coach

Nikki’s journey to become a coach, speaker and course creator has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, relocations, post partum depression, running her own businesses and navigating the challenges faced with this transient lifestyle. Becoming a mum was her catalyst for change and it is her passion and purpose to share all she has learned with you.

The Scottish Soul Sister offers practical, authentic, down to earth coaching through online, one on one sessions. Nikki’s goal is to support people in bringing clarity, organisation and joy into their daily lives as well as a personalised online guide, Stepping Into Parenthood.

Stepping Into Parenthood is a collection of easy to implement tips and tools to assist you as you begin this new chapter in your life. Whether you’re pregnant, adopting or a new parent, Nikki’s guide aims to reduce the overwhelm of adapting to this new chapter in your life with practical hints, tips and tools that are simple to implement but may have a huge impact on your day-to-day routine. It is Nikki’s passion to help you implement the tools that can positively impact you and your loved ones.

If you would like to connect with Nikki over a free 30 minute online session, please visit her website, Instagram or Facebook.

Ingrid Chalmers, Psychologist & Hypno-Analyst

Whilst Ingrid boasts a huge range of credentials, degrees and certifications when it comes to the profession of mental health and wellbeing, her true goal is to listen, help and put a plan in place to build a stronger, healthier future.

Ingrid focuses on helping people whose lives seem to have derailed a little (or a lot), in any way, shape or form. Her aim is to get them back on track and move forward stronger than before, whilst providing the relevant tools to stay on track in the future. Ingrid also makes sure she keeps up to date with current research and thinking so she’s fully qualified to support someone else’s transition to strength.

For a no obligation chat, please call or WhatsApp Ingrid directly on 052 154 7037 or for more information, please visit her website.

Aryssa Amin, Life Coach

If you sometimes feel a bit broken, flawed, lost and in need of support, a Life Coach can help you navigate your challenges and create the life you want. Although sometimes it may feel overwhelming and hard, there’s steps you can take, and asking for help is the first one.

Aryssa is a professional coach working with clients, in various areas from relationships and parenting to education andwork/life balance. Or just figuring out the next steps if you already know what you want. Aryssa strongly believes the key to living a fulfilled and balanced life is to look internally rather than focusing on your external environment and this is what she practices with her clients.

If you feel like you need a helping hand to create the life you deserve then please contact Aryssa on info@ryssdom.com or on Instagram.

Kate Littler, Psychotherapist & Coach

The Growth Pathway, founded by British mum Kate Littler who has over 17 years of experience as a psychotherapist, is about using the power of psychotherapy to help people reach a deeper understanding of themselves and move towards a more balanced way of being. Kate understands how hard it can be to ‘feel’. Often, we avoid the pain of unpacking difficult emotions, whether consciously or subconsciously.  But Kate believes that by working through pain, transformation can be achieved, and she is passionate about helping people on this journey.

Psychotherapy works in many areas, from anxiety and depression through to life’s challenges like divorce and bereavement. As a qualified coach, Kate also runs a ‘Parenting Teens in Dubai’ programme which is a fantastic course that gives insights and techniques into relating more effectively with our teenagers.

If you feel that Kate could help, please do contact her directly on 052 951 4559, kate_littler@yahoo.com or visit her website. Once the first step is taken, change can follow.

Jenny Malem, Clinical Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapist

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, burnt out, constantly self-criticising, wanting to break a habit, lose weight, become more assertive or get over a fear, then you need to add Jenny Malem to your contacts as she’ll help you take the first step towards healing and managing your mental health.

Jenny will help teach you proactive and reactive strategies for dealing with difficult emotions such as anxiety, anger, sadness, and self-criticism. As a mum herself, Jenny offers down-to-earth support, working with you in a friendly, homely, and confidential environment. And the really crucial thing here is that the strategies she uses can be passed on to your kids to help build resilience too.

If any of this resonates with you or perhaps you want to address some issues and start living in the present, get in touch for a free consultation. For more information, please visit the Open Minds Therapy website or you can contact Jenny directly on 055 300 3811.
