Meet Kate Blakemore

In this episode, Kate chats to Kate Blakemore, a trainer, counsellor, speaker, women and girl's mental health advocate and founder of the charity Motherwell Cheshire. Kate says her passion in life is to support and inspire women and girls of all ages throughout the mothering journey. As a trained counsellor who's needed counselling herself in the past, she talks openly about her own struggles having suffered an ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. In her experience, women have been repeatedly failed by inadequate and disjointed services so her goal is to ensure that the voices of women will finally be heard in the mental health system. This is why she set up her charity Motherwell which offers community-based projects for women - giving them access to a support network and bridging the gap in services for women’s wellbeing across Cheshire. It is run by women for women and is open to all women and girls, whatever their stage in life. Kate is a strong believer that information empowers people and works hard to drive forward change so that our voices are heard.
