Birth and Postpartum Trauma Counselling
Struggling with the reality of parenthood?
Becoming a parent is one of life’s most transformative experiences, but it can also be unexpectedly challenging. Social media and advertising often show a “perfect” version of parenthood, while reality can feel overwhelming. Anxiety, depression, irritability, intrusive thoughts, or feeling disconnected from your body, baby, or partner are common. Many parents also face guilt, perfectionism, identity shifts, or relationship changes. At least one in five mothers and one in ten fathers experience postpartum depression or anxiety, making support essential.
Feeling disconnected from yourself, your baby, or your partner?
Postpartum therapy helps you navigate emotional highs and lows, strengthen bonds, and rebuild confidence. Whether it’s improving attachment with your baby, reconnecting with your partner, or finding balance in your new identity as a parent, counselling provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to process your experiences and develop practical coping strategies.
Managing postpartum anxiety, depression, or overwhelm
Perinatal mental health challenges are common and treatable. Therapy provides tools to manage intrusive thoughts, reduce stress, and regain emotional stability. With professional guidance, you can navigate the emotional, relational, and identity challenges of pregnancy, birth, and early parenting while fostering resilience and hope.
You are not alone. Support is available, and healing is possible.
