Highly-rated breastfeeding support for you whenever you need it – whether you’re just getting started feeding your newborn, introducing solids or whether you’re ready to stop breastfeeding. 
Hi, I’m Rebecca and I support families in Leeds and the surrounding areas with their feeding goals, whatever they may be. I offer parent-centred, nurturing support in the comfort of your home. My specialism is breastfeeding but I can support you with pumping, mixed-feeding, or moving to bottle-only feeding.
Support packages differ but tend to include one home visit of up to two hours, plus additional support over text/whatsapp or email (this option is £60 though travel expenses may be added depending on location).
I also run a FREE antenatal breastfeeding class online (1:1 antenatal support possible too).
Bookings can be made via email or on my website. Personal 1:1 breastfeeding support makes such a difference – please do get in touch to discuss how I can help you.
Rebecca

Leeds IAPT

Depression, anxiety or any kind of emotional stress are part of everyday life and can be a real challenge. Sometimes people are able to deal with this by themselves or with the help of family and friends. However, some professional help may be needed and Leeds IAPT can provide this.

Leeds IAPT provide psychological treatments, sometimes called talking treatments, to help people who are stressed, experiencing low mood (depressed) or are very nervous (anxious).

Treatments are delivered across a number of locations in the city and can take place as part of a group, online, or on a one to one basis. To access treatment patients can self refer to the service, this can be done via the website www.leedsiapt.com or by telephone (0113 843 4388).  Once an assessment has been completed our clinicians will then speak to patients about treatment options.

IAPT is available to people who are aged 17 or above and registered with a Leeds GP.

Leeds IAPT can help you change the way that you think and feel.
