About Me
I’m Sophie Harris, Specialist Postpartum & Motherhood Therapist.
I help new mums overcome anxiety & low mood to feel confident & content, through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) & talking therapy.
I offer online sessions across the UK and internationally, as well as in-person therapy in Bristol.
I support women through the emotional challenges of early motherhood, whether you're navigating the intensity of postpartum or finding your feet as a mum to toddlers or young children. I’m passionate about helping you feel more like you again, calmer, more confident, and more in control.
With over 18 years of experience working in the NHS, and since 2020 in my private practice - Looking After Mum, I’ve supported hundreds of mums with issues like anxiety, overwhelm, anger, low mood, identity struggles, and people-pleasing. My approach uses evidence-based therapies like CBT and enriched by a deep understanding of motherhood’s unique demands.
I use my deep understanding of the postpartum experience to share helpful mental health resources forms online, and from this I have built an audience of over 100K followers on my Instagram (@looking_after_mum). My work has been featured in Stylist, Women’s Health, Sheerluxe and Happiful magazine, and I’ve appeared as an expert in campaigns for brands including Pampers andTommy’s. I’m passionate about making mental health support more relatable, accessible, and tailored to help mums feel their best in motherhood.
Motherhood can bring so many unexpected thoughts, feelings, and pressures, and it’s easy to feel like you’ve lost your sense of self along the way. You don’t have to go through that alone. I offer a supportive space where we can make sense of what you’re experiencing and work together towards helping you feel more grounded, confident, and more like yourself again.
“ I am so grateful for Sophie. Her therapy style was perfect for me and I felt like she really understood me as a person and a mum. I remember reading some positive feedback about Sophie before I started my sessions and I remember feeling jealous that someone had finished therapy and was feeling so much better. I am now ‘that’ person and it’s all thanks to Sophie. Having therapy with Sophie should be compulsory for all new mums! I am so happy I feel well enough to end my therapy, but so sad it’s the end of my time with Sophie”

This is what Sheerluxe Magazine has to say about Sophie in their Postpartum Experts Worth Knowing article…
“Postnatal recovery isn’t just physical and Sophie Harris – founder of Looking After Mum – offers therapy designed to help you navigate the emotional rollercoaster of new motherhood. From birth trauma to anxiety and relationship shifts, her calm, non-judgemental sessions help mothers make sense of this enormous life change. Her approach is collaborative, not clinical, empowering mothers to shape their own recovery with support that feels human, not textbook. Gentle, thoughtful and practical – Sophie is the therapist every new mum should have on speed dial.”
