Perinatal
Becoming a parent — birthing, non-birthing, first-time, or fifth — can be beautiful, brutal, and completely disorienting. You deserve support that welcomes all of it.
The perinatal period is one of the biggest identity shifts a person can go through. Somewhere between the pregnancy tests, the sleepless nights, the healing body, the shifting relationships, and the enormous love — it's very possible to lose yourself for a while. That's not a personal failing. That's the transition asking to be witnessed.
Who this is for
I support parents of any kind — birthing and non-birthing, partnered and single, biological, adoptive, foster, and surrogacy paths. Wherever you're arriving from, you're welcome here.
What we can work on together
Perinatal counselling can cover so much. Some of the most common threads I sit with clients through include:
- Prenatal anxiety and depression, including the pressure to 'just enjoy this time'
- Postpartum depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts
- Traumatic birth experiences and grief
- Pregnancy loss, infertility, and the long process of trying
- Identity shifts, career grief, and the mental load of parenthood
- Relationship strain with your partner as you both re-organize
- Feeding, sleeping, and 'is this normal?' worries
Our work is warm, non-judgmental, and completely paced around your capacity. Bring the baby. Come in your comfies. Cry if you need to. Nothing is too small or too dark to bring here.
