Providing specialist online therapy for new and expectant parents

Are you struggling with the aftermath of a difficult or traumatic birth or neonatal experience?

Are you fearful of birth? Are you worrying about your baby's health and wellbeing? Are you navigating pregnancy after the loss? Perhaps you are experiencing intrusive thoughts and engaging in excessive checking behaviours. Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or touched out? Maybe you are not enjoying motherhood as much as you hoped you would, or feel you should be.​

​

Are you feeling anxious about lots of different things in the postpartum period? Perhaps you are dealing with resurfaced childhood issues from your own experiences of being parented. Are you experiencing anger / rage? Are you feeling disconnected or experiencing difficulties bonding with your baby?

​

You may be grieving aspects of your pre-baby self and struggling with your identity now you are a parent (feeling lost in motherhood).
