Postnatal & Perinatal Support

Support during pregnancy and early parenthood

Evidence-based psychological support for individuals and families navigating pregnancy, the postnatal period, and early parenthood.
We offer a supportive, trauma-informed space to explore the emotional, relational, and identity changes that can arise during pregnancy and early parenthood.

When Support May Be Helpful

Adjustment to pregnancy or early parenthood
Emotional overwhelm, anxiety, or low mood

Birth-related stress or traumatic experiences
Processing difficult or unexpected birth experiences

Relationship or attachment concerns
Changes in partner dynamics or bonding with baby

Identity changes and role transitions
Navigating shifts in sense of self, work, or expectations

Isolation, pressure, or feeling “not yourself”
Support when things feel heavy, confusing, or hard to name

Support is available whether difficulties feel mild, complex, or somewhere in between.

Our Therapeutic Approach

Our psychologists work in a trauma-informed, collaborative, and non-judgemental manner. Therapy is tailored to each person’s needs, values, and circumstances, with an emphasis on psychological safety and respectful pacing.

We recognise the broader context of parenting, including social, relational, and systemic factors, and work flexibly to support wellbeing during this period.

Who This Support Is For

Individuals during pregnancy
Parents in the postnatal period
Partners and families adjusting to early parenthood

Sessions focus on the individual’s experience while remaining attentive to relational dynamics where relevant.
