We are experienced Breastfeeding Counsellors trained by the NCT with a Diploma of Higher Education in Breastfeeding Counselling from the University of Bedfordshire. This comprehensive course took 3 years to complete and covered counselling skills, how breastfeeding works, breastfeeding problems and management and group work skills.

We have worked for many years supporting thousands of women firstly as breastfeeding peer supporters and then as breastfeeding counsellors.
