Circle of Security Parenting – Abbreviated Intensive
Affiliated Program
Program Overview
This abbreviated antenatal intensive group program is designed for first-time mums
who want to feel more confident and prepared for the emotional and relational aspects
of parenting.
Drawing on Circle of Security principles, participants will learn how babies
communicate their needs, how secure attachment develops, and practical ways to respond to their babies with confidence and sensitivity. (Note: as this is an abbreviated version, a COSP™ certificate will not be provided)
In the leadup to welcoming your first baby, are you:
- Confused about what being a “good enough” mum means?
- Curious about attachment and bonding and wanting to learn more?
- Nervous about being able to understand your baby’s behaviours and needs?

- Interested in learning how your own experiences may shape your parenting?

- Looking for a supportive space to explore the ups and downs of becoming a parent?

Meet the Facilitators
Our programs are facilitated by a carefully selected team of psychologists and allied health professionals who bring both clinical expertise and genuine warmth to every session. Each facilitator has been chosen for their specialist experience in the areas they teach whether that's perinatal mental health, relationship dynamics, anxiety, or nervous system regulation and shares our belief that effective therapy should feel safe, human, and grounded in real life. You won't find a one-size-fits-all approach here. What you will find is a room full of people who truly get it.
