Perinatal Mental Health

This work would be with new or expecting parents and their wider support network. Often, perinatal support spans from conception to one year postpartum. However, there is total flexibility in this approach. From a systemic perspective, our work together will consider the wider family unit as well as the individual parent/couple.

Perinatal mental health difficulties impact up to 27% of new or expectant mothers. It is important that you feel able to reach out and seek support.

The early years of parenthood can be some of the most rewarding and also the most challenging. It is a time of significant change, personally, relationally and practically. It often evokes memories and experiences from one’s own childhood, both good and bad. In this space, we will explore how previous attachment relationships may influence current attachment patterns with your baby and wider family.

We will work collaboratively to create a safe space to begin to explore any difficulties or worries you may have. The work can be done either individually, or we can invite anyone in your wider support network who may be important to you.

This space can support:

• Fertility difficulties

• Complex birth experiences

• Couple/family relationships

• Parent-child relationships

• Experience of anxiety or depression

• Feelings of sadness or hopelessness

• Worries around becoming a parent
