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.

My speciality is the perinatal period, with a focus on perinatal trauma (including birth trauma or trauma related to e.g. Hyperemesis Gravidarum; HG) perinatal mental health, and perinatal loss.
Through extensive training and over 10 years experience, I draw on a range of models which can support with e.g. processing trauma, building skills around coping with feeling overwhelmed and critical thoughts, and living with grief. Although my specialist is perinatal, I can also offer the above for more general difficulties not focused on perinatal.

Hi, I'm Stacey. There are many reasons why people come to therapy, but it's usually because we feel stuck in some way. Are you seeing the same patterns in your relationships, behaviours or ways of thinking? Are your coping mechanisms no longer working? Is there never enough time to reflect on what you want & need? I offer a space that is just for you and without judgement. I want to support you to live authentically, take back the reins and reduce your stress. I am honest, straight-talking and will put you first.

Sometimes life just feels like too much. You might be carrying anxiety, old wounds, or a sense of being stuck unsure who you are anymore, or where to even begin. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety and past traumas, often feeling like they’ve lost touch with who they are. Together, we gently untangle the pressure, the self-doubt, and the weight of what you’ve been carrying so you can start feeling more like you again.

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.
