1:1 Postnatal Therapy (In person or online)
Does this sound like you?
You dream of enjoying motherhood but instead find yourself drowning in guilt and shame because "shouldn't this feel more natural?"
​
The weight of anxiety or low mood has become your constant companion, leaving you wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again.
​
When plans derail or your little one needs more from you, that flash of anger rises so quickly it scares you—and afterward, the guilt is overwhelming.
​
Each day blurs into the next as you mechanically go through the motions, feeling more like a caretaker than a mother or a whole person.
​
You find yourself mindlessly scrolling through perfectly curated feeds, either comparing your messy reality to others' highlight reels or simply escaping the overwhelm for a few precious minutes.
​
Your cup is constantly empty as everyone else's needs come first, and when someone asks "what about you?"—you genuinely don't know how to answer anymore.
​
You've read every parenting book, tried every routine, and searched countless forums at 3am, desperately hoping the next method will finally make everything click.
​
You look at other mothers who seem to be thriving and think, "What's wrong with me that I can't handle what comes naturally to everyone else?"
If you answered YES to any of these statements, you're not alone and it can change. You also don't need to be in the first year post birth in order access support, 'postnatal' is so much longer than that.
What you'll gain from our work together...
Taking time for yourself without guilt—finally enjoying that cup of tea without feeling selfish.
​
Facing unexpected changes to your day with calm resilience instead of spiralling into overwhelm.
​
Giving yourself permission to truly rest when your little one sleeps, rather than racing through tasks.
​
Rediscovering the woman behind the mother—reconnecting with your passions, interests, and dreams.
​
Finding peace with your birth story or journey to motherhood, so it empowers rather than haunts you.
​
Catching anxiety before it takes over, with practical tools that bring you back to calm quickly.
​
Expressing your needs clearly to your partner, rebuilding the connection that parenthood tested.
​
Building emotional resilience that supports you, whether alongside or potentially reducing medication.
​
Moving through motherhood with quiet confidence, handling challenges with a grace you already possess.
What my clients say...
"It's blown my mind how being listened to, like really listened to, has helped me with how I was feeling about the birth. I was so angry and I just didn't understand why. You helped me see why I was stuck where I was and I'm so grateful. I'm now starting to move forward and be kinder to myself too!"
Mum to 6 month old and 3 year old
"Thank you so much for everything. I feel like a different person now from the one who sat in a daze crying on your sofa in our first session. I'm getting out the house now, not without some anxiety but it's not having the same effect and I can see it for what it is and its lessening"
Mum to 5 month old
​"I thought I was such an awful mum, it took me so long to come to see you because I was just so ashamed. but I view myself so differently now. And boundaries! I'd never even thought about boundaries before our sessions but it's been a game changer putting these in place. Thank you!"

How does postnatal counselling help?
Using a combination of psychotherapies (Internal Family Systems, Psychodynamic therapy, CBT and Compassion Focused Therapy) and current research on the neuroscience of motherhood, we'll explore the hidden parts of your identity that are struggling with this significant life change. Together we'll gently explore your difficult emotions, liberate you from the beliefs that are holding you down and develop key strategies to calm your nervous system, so that you are free to live your life with balance and fulfilment.
After postnatal counselling you will have:
✔ Understand the root of your feelings rather than just battling symptoms, finally making sense of your experience.
​
✔ Break free from those exhausting thought spirals by addressing concerns one by one with clarity and purpose.
​
✔ Recognise your emotional triggers before they overtake you, responding with new strategies that actually work.
​
✔ Rebuild your confidence as both a mother and the woman you are beyond motherhood.
​
✔ Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you naturally offer your child, even on the hardest days.
​
✔ Transform your reactions with practical nervous system regulation tools that bring you back to calm quickly.
​
✔ Create sustainable changes that support your wellbeing for the long-term, not just quick fixes that fade.
