I work with women who are finding pregnancy or new motherhood harder than they expected - not in the “normal hard” way people talk about, but in a way that feels isolating and stuck.
Maybe your birth left you shaken and you’re still processing it months later. Or you’re pregnant after loss and each milestone brings dread instead of joy. Perhaps fear of birth is affecting your life now. People may say “stay positive” or “enjoy this time,” but inside you feel exhausted, worried, or just getting through the days.
I specialise in birth trauma, pregnancy anxiety and fear of childbirth and can help you feel more grounded and present.
I use CBT and EMDR to gently work through what happened and what’s keeping you stuck. We’ll calm anxious thoughts, process difficult experiences, and build practical tools you can use when panic or dread hits. Over time, you can move from survival mode to feeling safer in your body and more present in pregnancy and motherhood.
I’ve spent over 10 years in the NHS as a perinatal CBT therapist, psychiatric nurse, and supervisor, supporting hundreds of women through birth trauma, pregnancy anxiety, and loss. This is my specialist field - not a side interest.
If this feels familiar, you’re welcome to reach out. I’ll respond within 24 hours.
