I support the emotional and psychological impact of IVF, alongside extreme fear of birth, extreme pregnancy sickness, perinatal trauma, perinatal loss, and when pregnancy or parenting activates earlier relational trauma.

I am currently offering a discounted EMDR rate (£130 for 90 minutes) while finalising accreditation, after three years of EMDR training and experience.

If you are struggling with parenting, postnatal depression, miscarriage or your identity during a life transition, you are not alone.
I can work with you short term or for an extended period, depending on your needs. Deeply rooted emotional issues tend to require longer periods of therapy. Psychodynamic therapy reflects on the past, as well as the present and helps you to see the parts of yourself that are hidden from yourself, so that you can gain better understanding and insight.

From the outside you are functioning, but inside you feel on edge or numb. Anxiety shows up as overthinking, panic, sleep issues, people pleasing, or a body that will not settle. You might be carrying trauma, grief, low mood, or relationship patterns that keep repeating. Intimacy may feel confusing, pressured, or loaded with shame, fear, pain, or disconnection. You want calm, confidence, and closeness. You want to understand what is happening in your body and mind, and to feel aligned with your faith and values.

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.
