Caterham CR3

Pregnancy, birth or early parenthood can feel very different from what you imagined. A birth experience might have stayed with you, or you may seem fine outwardly while feeling anxious or overwhelmed inside. You might also be someone who supports families through these moments and feels the emotional strain of the work. My years in midwifery mean I know this world from the inside, and that lived experience guides how I support people. Together, we take the time to understand what’s beneath the surface, so what you’re carrying starts to feel a little less solitary.

I work with people facing pregnancy, birth, baby loss and early parenthood, as well as maternity professionals carrying the weight of this work. My psychodynamic approach helps you make sense of what you're experiencing. I offer weekly 50-minute sessions, starting with a free 15-minute call to see how it feels.

You carry more than you were ever asked to carry. If any of this feels familiar, you don't need to have the right words yet. Just a sense that something here speaks to you is enough to take that first step.

Pregnancy, birth and early parenthood can be overwhelming in ways that aren't always obvious, and some experiences leave a deeper mark than people expect. Burnout can follow, whether among new parents or among people working in maternity care. I help you make sense of what's happened and find steadier ground again.

Working psychodynamically means paying attention to how past experiences shape what's happening now, including how things show up in the therapy relationship. The work is steady and grounded enough to stay with your feelings, and a relationship where even the harder parts can be talked about.
