Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counselling in Cork
Many of the challenges we experience in adulthood have their roots in our earliest relationships. The ways we learned to connect, protect ourselves, cope with loss, and understand our place in the world can continue to influence us throughout our lives. I am particularly passionate about supporting people who are exploring the impact of attachment, family relationships, intergenerational trauma, grief and loss, and the challenges that can arise in parenting and intimate relationships. Our experiences within relationships often shape how we see ourselves, connect with others, and navigate the world around us.

I help mothers navigate postpartum anxiety, depression, birth trauma, and the profound identity shifts of motherhood.
From the outside, you look like you have it all together. Your house is in order, your career is moving, or you are managing the equally demanding role of a stay-at-home mom. You handle the schedules and the endless mental load. But inside, you feel depleted, anxious, or caught in an exhausting loop of overwhelm, overthinking, and internal pressure. Whether navigating the profound identity shift of matrescence, processing a difficult birth, or balancing parenting with burnout, please hear this: you are not failing—you are simply running on empty in a very difficult season of life.

Trauma doesn't always look like crisis. Sometimes it looks like coping so well that no one, including you, notices what it's costing. I work with women and mothers who are exhausted from holding it together, and ready for things to actually shift. My clients often function well on the outside while carrying anger, anxiety, or exhaustion they can't fully explain. They've usually already done the work of understanding themselves - what they want now is real, lasting change, not more insight.

Welcome to my site. Firstly, let me assure me that I know how much courage it took to conduct the search that brought you here … and indeed how much more it can take to make the call. As a first step it is helpful if you acknowledge that to yourself.

I promise you that I know your pain, your loneliness, and your anxiety. You have made it this far ... make the call …

If your kids would let you, you would be such a good parent. You’re so tired of fighting with them over screen time and bedtime - and sometimes you lose that fight. Arguing has become the norm. You don’t want to be a drill sergeant, but it would be such a relief if they just did what you asked without turning it into World War III. You want to respect their big feelings, but you also want your kids to respect you. You haven’t found a way out of this cycle and you worry that you’re ruining your kids. You could sure use some parent support.

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.
