Perinatal mental Health
Perinatal (Pregnancy and Postpartum) Counselling
The perinatal period is a time of profound transition—physically, emotionally, and relationally. For many, it brings significant life changes that can feel overwhelming. This stage of life can also lead to the onset of mental health challenges or amplify existing struggles.
As a therapist with specialized training in maternal mental health, I am Perinatal Mental Health Certified through Postpartum Support International. I offer compassionate support for a range of concerns, including:
- Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs)
- Relationship challenges during pregnancy and postpartum
- Reproductive trauma and birth trauma
- Struggles with fertility and pregnancy loss
Whether you’re adjusting to the demands of pregnancy, processing a difficult birth experience, or navigating the emotions of loss, I provide a safe space to explore your feelings and move toward healing.
Specialized Support for Parents Navigating Prenatal Diagnosis
For parents who have received a cleft lip and/or palate diagnosis for their baby, this time can feel especially overwhelming. You may be dealing with a mix of emotions—shock, sadness, guilt, or fear—while worrying about your baby’s health, feeding challenges, or upcoming medical procedures. I specialize in helping parents process these emotions, manage worry, and find strength and coping skills as they prepare and navigate their unique journey.
Why Counselling?
Counselling can be an invaluable resource during this transformative time. I help parents work through difficult emotions, build resilience, and develop practical coping strategies. Together, we can foster emotional well-being and help you embrace this period of life with greater clarity, calm, and confidence. No matter what challenges you are facing, you don’t have to navigate them alone. Let’s walk this path together.
Why Counselling?
Counselling can be a powerful resource to help you manage difficult emotions, ease anxiety, and reclaim joy in your journey to parenthood. Together, we’ll work to build your resilience, develop practical coping strategies, and create a pathway toward emotional well-being during this transformative time.
