I suggest contacting the National Childbirth Trust who have a large UK
network of trained breastfeeding counsellors. Having trained with them and
having had the opportunity to compare their techniques with other
international breastfeeding groups, I am of the opinion that NCT training
is far stronger on counselling skills and the art of listening.
The skill of counselling a mother in a caring, non-judgmental way, giving
her confidence and listening to her concerns is a gift that can only be
channelled into professional counselling whether it be paid or voluntary by
training in the framework of a supportive group and with personal
supervision from qualified tutors who serve as mentors.
