Perinatal & Parental Mental Health

The transition into parenthood can be deeply meaningful but also unexpectedly challenging. Many parents feel overwhelmed, anxious, low, or disconnected from their baby or partner. I provide specialist support for:

• Antenatal and postnatal mental health difficulties

• Birth trauma

• Postnatal depression and anxiety

• Perinatal OCD

• Parenting stress, adjustment, and burnout

• Attachment and bonding

• Breaking generational cycles of parenting

Therapy offers you a space to:

• Talk openly without judgement

• Feel heard and understood

• Make sense of your experiences

• Develop confidence and compassion in your role as a parent

• Gain practical insights and skills to move forward

I have specialist training in perinatal mental health including being an accredited Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) practitioner, which can support bonding and help build confidence in your role as a parent.

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek support, therapy can help at any stage of your journey into parenthood.
