Pregnancy and early motherhood can bring joy — but also grief, anxiety, or overwhelm. Whether you’re coping with pregnancy loss, pregnancy or postnatal challenges, or the emotional shifts of new motherhood, you are not broken and you are not alone. I help women reconnect with their bodies, honour their feelings, and build tools to feel grounded, resilient, and supported as they navigate this profound life transition.
I support women through anxiety, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and the emotional shifts of motherhood. Therapy is a compassionate space to reconnect with your body and voice. Together we build tools so you feel grounded, supported, and gently connected to yourself.
Reaching out for support doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means caring for yourself during a huge life transition. Whether you’re pregnant or postnatal, therapy can help you feel steadier and more like you again. I’d be honoured to support you — reach out for a consultation.

When working with perinatal trauma and/or bereavement, the treatments types that I often find work well for clients are compassion focused and person-centred therapies. These therapies help women/birthing people to identify and work through aspects of their experiences that have left them feeling distressed with care and compassion.
