The journey to parenthood does not always play out in the way that was expected.
I am able to offer therapy to support you to move forwards after difficult experiences around becoming a parent or being unable to be the parent you always dreamed of.
You may be battling with infertility, grieving after pregnancy or baby loss or perhaps still feeling the impact of a difficult birth or challenges with breastfeeding. You may also be reflecting on your own childhood experiences as you become a parent yourself or perhaps having worries about your ability to bond with your baby.
I have a background of working in both perinatal mental health and perinatal trauma and loss services. This has involved working as a mental health nurse, clinical lead and EMDR therapist. I am proud to be able to combine all of this experience to offer therapy to women and their families.
Please get in touch if you would like to talk about whether I may be able to help you move forwards after your difficult experiences.
I am fortunate to have undertaken specialist perinatal EMDR training as well as training in birth debrief, infant loss training and compassion focused therapy for grief. I will draw on this expertise through the different phases of EMDR therapy.
I will provide a space in which you feel safe and supported to make sense of your situation and to find a new way forward.
