About Us

Hesta Health is creating a new benchmark in women’s health, delivering exceptional care at every life stage. As we advance towards this goal, we are committed to closing the women’s health gap, beginning with pregnancy and postnatal as our initial focus.

75 million years of women’s lives are lost every year due to poor health or early death. This gap limits potential, drives inequality, and reflects a healthcare system that wasn’t built for women. We are changing that.

Our first mission is to reimagine care for mothers and birthing parents through compassionate care, clinical excellence and technology.

We’re looking for

We’re looking for an experienced Psychotherapist (5+ years) who specialises in postnatal mental health care. You’ll provide warm, compassionate therapy to postnatal women as part of the Hesta service. By creating a safe, non-judgmental space, you help new mothers feel heard and empowered as they navigate challenges in the two years following pregnancy. Your empathic, trauma-informed care and holistic outlook foster trust and healing, enabling women to achieve positive outcomes for their mental health and family life.

This is a part time role for about 8-10 hours per week
