Becoming a mother is a huge event in a woman's life, accompanied by profound changes - physical, emotional, social. Becoming depressed a after giving birth makes coping with and adapting to these changes very challenging. Many new mothers struggle in silence.
I offer a confidential space where we can talk about your experience of becoming a mother, its meaning and the impact that it has on your life - internal and external.
I believe every woman will experience low moods after having a baby, resting for 40 days post baby can have life long benefits for both mother and baby. Making a structured plan to care for yourself in turn cares for your baby, providing strong bonds and less anxiety.
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited Professional Registrant (PNCPS Acc.)
Are you a new Mum or Dad and concerned about or struggling with postnatal depression? I've received training in PND, and I can offer a safe, accepting and supportive environment - where you can talk openly without being shamed, judged or criticised. We can work at your pace to explore your thoughts, how you are feeling and coping, relationship issues or concerns, and any increasing anxieties about your baby. Working together can relieve that sense of overwhelm, guilt or fear and help you work towards enjoying parenthood and being the parent you'd like to be. If you'd like to explore postnatal depression counselling, please get in touch with me to arrange a low-cost consultation.
