I help mothers navigate babyloss grief and pregnancy after loss anxiety, guiding you toward moments of peace and connection.
You've experienced the unimaginable, losing your baby. Now, each day feels like walking through fog. Or perhaps you're pregnant again, but instead of joy, you're drowning in anxiety. Every appointment triggers panic. Every twinge of pain sends your mind spiraling. "What if it happens again?" Maybe you're afraid to bond with this baby, to buy anything new or to tell people you're expecting. You feel guilty for moving forward, yet guilty for not embracing this new chance. People say "at least you can get pregnant" or "this one will be fine," but they don't understand, the fear is constant. You don't have to face it alone.

In therapy I draw on a variety of models including, but not limited to Feminist, Somatic & Compassion therapies. In practice this looks like exploring the messages we have internalised from our early experiences and how this has informed our ways of coping in the world, challenging unhelpful social norms, and developing new, more helpful ways of being.

Specialist interests include infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, traumatic birth experiences, TFMR and postnatal support.
It isn't often, in our everyday lives, that we feel truly heard, understood and accepted without sensing judgement or criticism from others. I deeply acknowledge and understand the loneliness that comes from struggling in silence with life's difficulties. Therapy offers you a calm space to begin to tell your story; permission to pause and reflect on what you have been through, validate your response to trauma and loss and gently navigate the path forward. I will support you on your therapeutic journey, gently empowering you to realise your inner resources and ways of coping and navigating your world so that you feel more in control.

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.
