I work with parents who have found the emotional side of parenting harder than expected following a difficult or unexpected start.
This might include neonatal care, medical complications, separation after birth, loss, or other early challenges. Some parents notice ongoing anxiety, feeling constantly on edge, intrusive memories, or a sense of being changed by what they went through — even months or years later.
This can be especially difficult when others expect you to feel only relief or gratitude, or when support hasn’t always felt accessible, safe, or meant for you.
I work with parents navigating the emotional impact of a difficult start to parenting. This can include anxiety or trauma responses, difficulties with bonding or confidence, and experiences of loss or bereavement — whether this involves the death of a baby or grieving the early experience you hoped for.
In therapy, I offer a calm, compassionate space to help you make sense of what you’ve been through and how it may still be affecting you. You don’t need a diagnosis, clear answers, or the “right words” — we can begin wherever you are.
