About
Perinatal Counselling and Psychotherapy
Hello and Welcome,
I provide counselling and psychotherapy for anyone experiencing emotional or psychological challenges during the perinatal period — from conception and pregnancy, through birth, and up to two years after giving birth. I also offer continued, open-ended therapy beyond this time where it feels helpful and appropriate for you.
01.
Difficulties with conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy can be deeply painful and distressing. This period often brings a range of complex feelings that can be hard to understand or manage.
For those undergoing IVF, the experience can be both physically and emotionally demanding, impacting many aspects of life, including relationships, work, and your sense of self.
02.
The loss of a baby or pregnancy brings about a deeply personal and unique grief. You may experience a wide range of emotions, including sadness, anger, confusion, numbness, or moments of helplessness and despair.
03.
Pregnancy brings many physical and emotional changes, and it’s natural to feel anxious or uncertain during this time.
Societal expectations often portray pregnancy as a time of joy and “glow,” but not everyone experiences it this way. It’s common to feel grief, guilt, or disappointment when your experience doesn’t match what you expected.
