Pregnancy can be a beautiful, yet stressful, fear & anxiety provoking time. The "what if" questions start coming the surface & you can begin to doubt yourself as a mother. It can be a scary time to navigate by yourself- no matter if your first, second or even fourth time mum. 

Therapy isn't a scary thing- it is incredibly important and plays a huge role in improving maternal health & baby outcomes. It can help you release your fears and anxieties no matter what they are centred around. The goal of therapy is to go beneath the surface ‘presenting problem’ in order to locate and treat what is really at stake. This all happens in a safe, non-judgemental, empowering & nurturing space.

It is not a coincidence that you are feeling pressure, anxiety or fear surrounding the transition from pregnancy and mothering. In physical medicine, the decisive factor behind bodily suffering is often unexpected; pain in a toe might be linked to a problem with the abdomen. Therefore applying this principle to mental suffering, it is possible that our current emotional troubles are usually symptoms of problems located in the rarely visited parts of our mind.

By sitting down in a safe space, Michelle, our psychotherapist is able to work with you through this with you to help you have the best pregnancy, birth and motherhood journey as possible.
