The transition to motherhood is one of the most profound psychological and physical shifts a person can experience. It is common for this journey to bring unexpected challenges, including anxiety, the lingering effects of a traumatic birth, or a struggle to reconcile your new identity with the one you knew before.
What you are feeling is not a sign of failure, but a valid response to a transformative life event. Your mind and body are navigating immense change, and it is understandable to feel overwhelmed.
My aim is to be a safe space for you to navigate this change using the best perinatal evidence based interventions
Therapeutic approaches may include:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Video Interaction Guidance (VIG)
Attachment and bonding-focused interventions
Trauma-informed stabilisation and emotional regulation work
My style is compassionate, collaborative, and psychologically informed, combining clinical expertise with a deep understanding of the realities of modern motherhood. Therapy offers a space to reduce distress & reconnect with yourself, your relationships and your confidence as a parent.
