YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Having a baby is a life changing event and it is totally natural to be feeling overwhelmed and anxious. I work with:
- Depression
-Anxiety
-Mum guilt
-Lacking in confidence
-Burn out
-Hyperemesis Gravidarum ( during and after)
​
You are not alone as 1 in 5 new mothers experience mental health issues during pregnancy and after the birth of their newborn.
​
Mum, do you feel anxious, overwhelmed and trying to juggle it all on your own?
Do you feel like you should be enjoying pregnancy and the early years but you just don't, and this leaves you feeling ashamed?
Are intrusive thoughts and self criticism consuming your daily life and making you feel not good enough?
​
I get it. That was once me. But it doesn't have to be this way anymore.
​
You feel like you have read all the baby books but feel like nothing has prepared you for this and you're confused by your feelings, thinking that you should be enjoying this time in your life, but it is not what you expected. Maybe, your current struggles are impacting your close relationships and think now is a good time to talk it through with someone who can listen and is impartial.

I'm also a mum and I have been where you are. Only a few short years ago I had Post Natal Anxiety, Depression and I carried a lot of shame about not enjoying my pregnancies, so I offer you compassion, empathy and validation. This is your time to he heard and supported and for you to see you matter and you're more than a mum, you are still you and you deserve to make your mental wellbeing a priority

Counselling can help reduce the intensity of the emotional issues you are experiencing, identify goals of those issues and promote self esteem. Weekly sessions are recommended in order to support your needs and to get to know each other.
Counselling is open ended so how many sessions you have is up to you and will depend on the issues you bring. I do recommend to start with 6 and then we can review if needed.
