Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counselling in Darlington
I am a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor, Psychological Therapist and High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and Supervisor. Often individuals will seek therapy because they feel unable to cope with the stresses of life or adjusting to a big change, not like 'their old self', isolated from others, worried or lost or just needing someone to listen. My role is to work together with individuals to make sense of what is happening for them and provide opportunities for change in away that they feel is appropriate and achievable at their own pace, within a private and confidential setting.

You're still showing up, still functioning, still keeping things together. But something isn't right. Maybe your mind won't slow down, or it just won't start.

My clients come from all walks of life, but many share that experience of quietly struggling while looking completely fine on the outside. Whether it's burnout, ADHD, anxiety, stress, or something you haven't quite named yet, you deserve support.

Having practised as a therapist for twenty years I have had the privilege to work with many creative, resilient, courageous and resourceful people. However, very few felt that way when they first came for therapy. Life can be challenging and we all struggle at times to cope with problems and stressful situations. Different people obviously find different things difficult but what everyone shares are the natural responses of feeling distressed, confused, anxious and lost. Psychotherapy can help you to express your feelings, work through anxiety and depression and develop positive responses to the challenges you are facing.

I am a British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) registered psychodynamic psychotherapist. Currently, I work in a specialist NHS psychoanalytic psychotherapy service and privately.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a talking therapy which explores a persons unconscious and hidden feelings which impact their behaviour and relationships. Exploring your early life and what this has left you with is an important aspect of psychodynamic work. Clients find that as they develop an understanding of their unconscious worlds, their capacity to think about their feelings develops which can aid emotional growth and lessen emotional turmoil.

I work with people facing a range of life challenges, with a particular interest in supporting those going through life transitions. This may include career changes, relationship and family changes, becoming a parent (matrescence), receiving a diagnosis (including neurodiversity), balancing work-family responsibilities, or coping with loss. I have lived experience of many of these things.
These moments can raise deeper questions about identity, relationships and direction in life. Therapy offers a space to reflect, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and find a way forward with a greater sense of ease.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
