Perinatal Mental Health & Maternal Wellbeing Therapy Services

Support for people across all stages of the parenting experience — those trying to conceive, currently pregnant, adjusting to life with a new baby, parenting young children, or navigating the ups and downs of more seasoned parenthood.

Here for You – Wherever You Are in Your Parenting Journey

Maybe things feel harder than you thought they would. Maybe you’re feeling flat, anxious, overwhelmed or just… not yourself. Perhaps you’re grieving a loss that others can’t see, carrying fears about birth or parenting, or finding it hard to adjust to this version of life you didn’t quite expect. If you're nodding along, you're not alone — and you're not failing. It’s just a lot. And that’s okay.

Although I have a particular interest in perinatal trauma and EMDR therapy, the support I offer spans the full spectrum of mental health challenges that can arise in and around parenting.

I support people who are:

  • Feeling stuck in anxiety, low mood, or emotional overwhelm

  • Struggling with postnatal depression or perinatal anxiety

  • Grieving a pregnancy or infant loss, or navigating fertility struggles

  • Facing big shifts in identity or self-worth since becoming a parent

  • Trying to process a difficult birth, medical trauma or parenting experience

  • Wondering why parenting feels so much harder than they expected

  • Noticing that their own childhood experiences are showing up now

Modern parenting comes with a lot — relentless expectations, invisible labour, emotional ups and downs, and pressure to "bounce back" or do it all with a smile. It’s no wonder so many parents feel stretched thin or quietly falling apart inside.

You don’t have to hold all of this on your own. This is a space to slow down, speak your truth, and feel supported — wherever you are in your journey.
