I am a neuroscientist and perinatal mental health therapist who helps mothers understand what is happening in their brains and lives during the transition to parenthood.
Becoming a parent changes everything, but not always in the ways people expect, and rarely in ways that are clearly explained. Many of my clients, who are used to functioning at a high level, are surprised by how disorienting and difficult this stage of life can feel. It has impacted your sleep, identity, stress levels, mental load, relationships, and added invisible demands and pressure.
Much of my work begins right there, in that gap between what you thought this experience would feel like and what is actually happening in your mind, your body, your relationships, and your sense of self.

I am an ex-Hospice and Pregnancy loss Nurse, experienced in holding space for profound life transitions.
Grief doesn't always look like sadness. It can show up as anxiety, anger, shame, or a sense that you've lost your way. Whether you're grieving the death of someone you love, the end of a relationship, changes in your health, your identity, or the future you imagined, grief can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you've spent years trying to be who others expected you to be, carrying the weight of expectations and comparison, only to realise it no longer fits. I offer a warm, compassionate space to make sense of loss, explore what matters now, rediscover who you are, and find a way forward.

When we have a problem, we often want to talk to someone who won’t judge us. It can be tough to open up to friends or family because we might worry about what they’ll think or fear upsetting them. This can make it hard to be completely honest and fully understand what’s going on. Seeing a psychotherapist gives you a chance to build a safe, trusting relationship with someone who can offer an unbiased perspective. The bond between the therapist and client can be really important in helping us tap into our own strengths to find solutions or make changes.

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.
