Perinatal & Parenting Support

Becoming a parent is a profound life transition, often bringing up unexpected emotions, identity changes, and questions about attachment and bonding. Whether you’re preparing for parenthood, adjusting to life with a new baby, managing the intense toddler years or reflecting on how your own upbringing shapes your parenting, I offer a safe space to explore these experiences.

Together, we can explore emotional regulation, attachment patterns, parental up-skilling or the impacts of past trauma to help you build a secure, loving relationship with your child and yourself.

Navigating Perinatal Experiences

Pregnancy and the postpartum period can bring a mix of joy, anxiety, and unexpected emotions. We can explore mood changes, identity shifts, and the emotional challenges of becoming a parent, helping you feel supported and empowered during this transformative time.

Attachment & Bonding

Whether you're at the beginning of your parenting journey or a little way in, building a secure bond with your child can sometimes start with understanding your own attachment history. We'll explore how your upbringing and past experiences influence your parenting, and develop ways to foster a loving, responsive relationship with your child

Identity Shifts

Parenthood often brings a redefinition of self. Whether you're struggling with loss of independence, career changes, or balancing multiple roles, we'll explore how to honour all parts of your identity.

Self Care & Self Compassion

Parenting is demanding, and it is so easy to put your own needs last. We can focus on practical self care strategies and cultivating self compassion, so you can care for yourself as well as you care for your child. You deserve support, rest, and kindness.

Relationship Dynamics

Parenting can have a significant impact on your relationship with your partner. I can work with you on communication, teamwork and maintaining connection, helping you navigate this new chapter as a team.

Impact of Past Trauma on Parenting

Unresolved trauma can affect how you respond to your child's needs. Together, we'll gently process these experiences, so you can parent with presence, patience, and confidence.
