Hearth Therapy

The parenting journey is a profound one; even at the best of times, there will be moments that feel turbulent and overwhelming. But when things don't to go as we expected or hoped, it can understandably be distressing and lonely. And let's face it, in this part of the world, our systems and ways of thinking about parenthood don't always enable parents to feel confident and supported.

If you have found your way to my website, and are struggling with memories about your birth; distressed by feelings of anxiety, anger or low mood; experiencing doubts about your abilities as a parent; or maybe you're not sure who you are any more, you don't have to go through this alone. You are not a bad parent or person; you are navigating one of the most difficult and emotional tasks there is.​

​

If you are experiencing any of the below from birth planning, conception, the antenatal & postnatal period, or ongoing parenthood, I may be able to help:

​

• Anxiety and panic attacks

• Baby loss inc. miscarriage, termination (for any reason), stillbirth and neo-natal loss

• Birth trauma

• Bond/attachment with baby

• Depression or low mood

• Earlier life trauma and difficult relationship experiences

• IVF journey

• Neurodivergence (diagnosed or not)

• Perinatal OCD

• Parental confidence

• Parental identity

• Pregnancy after loss​

• Rage

• Tokophobia (fear of childbirth)

​​

I use the terms parent, antenatal, postnatal and perinatal, to be gender affirming and welcoming of all birthing and non-birthing parents.
