Pregnancy and Perinatal
Birth is often described as beautiful, life-changing, and full of love — and while those things can be true, many women discover that their experience is also far more complicated. You may be carrying the exhaustion of labour, the physical impact of giving birth, or the shock of medical interventions that unfolded too quickly to process. You might still feel the fear or sense of losing control in your body, or the ache of not being fully heard when you needed support the most.
As you step into this new chapter of life, it’s completely natural to find the emotional weight of it all harder to understand than you expected. Perhaps bonding with your baby hasn’t come as easily as you hoped, or you find yourself comparing your experience to other new parents or to the birth story you imagined. You are not alone — many parents feel this way, even if it isn’t often spoken about.
How therapy can help
Perinatal therapy offers a gentle, calming space where you can breathe out and let your story be heard. Here, your feelings are welcomed with warmth, care, and absolutely no judgment. This is a place where you can talk openly about what has been heavy on your heart, where you can begin to make sense of the emotions that may feel tangled or overwhelming.
Together, we can explore the parts of your experience that still feel raw, help you rebuild trust in yourself, and nurture the quiet strengths that may have been overshadowed by everything you’ve been through. Many parents find that as they feel more grounded and supported, space naturally opens for deeper connection with their baby and with themselves
