Perinatal Mental Health
You are not alone
I have a special interest in working with men and women, whether you are mums and dads to be or are already parents who may be struggling or feeling in distress about any aspect of the parenthood journey. A journey that can be filled with joy but also with anxiety, sadness and loss.
My approach to counselling is Relational and based on the theory of Transactional Analysis with focus on relationships, communication and healing; you are at the heart of this process. I believe the most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself and your emotional well being depends on how you feel about you. If you’re okay this can positively influence your closest relationships.
Perinatal Focus Areas
Pregnancy, birth trauma, IVF, infertility, miscarriage, termination, maternal preoccupation, depression in the postnatal period, relationship issues, anxiety, contemplating becoming a parent, societal/family pressures to have children and bonding and attachment.
