Services

We support parents towards their own goals for peace, confidence or recovery.

You may not know what your goals are right now but discovering them is usually the first part of the process.

It is enough for now to recognise that you want to think, feel or respond differently as a parent.

TBR 3 Step Rewind for perinatal trauma

This is usually a 3 part therapy, delivered over 3 sessions, 3 weeks apart.

Each step allows clients to safely revisit their trauma (should they choose to) by practicing relaxation first.

We create a safe environment for parents to recognise how what happened in the past is still impacting on them now.

From here clients can begin to understand what their hopes for the future are.

This process supports parents to safely release old trauma patterns to experience their future hopes.

This practice can happen face to face in person (we are in Surrey or in York) or over Zoom (we see clients all over the world).

In either case child care must be in place so that parents can fully relax and focus.

Learning the anxiety toolkit for perinatal health & wellbeing

This service usually happens over 6 sessions and shares some tried and tested practices and exercises that allow clients to first manage, then master anxiety.

The aim of this therapy is not necessarily to eliminate anxiety but to use our recognition and knowledge of it to improve the relationship that we have with ourselves which ultimately has a halo effect on all our relationships and enjoyment of life overall.

We use the modalities of relaxation, mindfulness, meditation and a solution focused approach for parents to learn and implement themselves.

Therapy for physical birth injury

Sustaining a physical birth injury can be challenging to parent’s mental health as well as physical health.

When something is wrong with our physical self we will also feel the impact of that mentally and emotionally too.

Parents have reported feeling stressed and unsupported when seeking the right diagnosis and accessing appropriate treatment.

It is understandable that injured parents feel anxious about what impact their injury will have on their future health.

Parents often experience a loss of confidence and self esteem and feeling hopeless about their prospect for recovery.

By understanding client’s unique goals for therapy we can help in a number of ways either by supporting self advocacy for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Some clients wish to focus on rebuilding confidence and self esteem.

Others wish to positively re-engage with the body to support recovery.

By managing the anxiety that can hinder recovery clients can even manage fears when it comes to intimacy and future pregnancy and childbirth.

Support after baby loss

The death of a baby is a devastating and isolating experience for parents. Everybody grieves differently and different people will want different support at different points in their journey. I can provide a safe space for you to express your grief and support you with any anxiety or trauma symptoms that might result long term from your experience. I can also support parents rainbow pregnancies when anxiety is naturally re-triggered.

Support during difficult IVF or fertility journey

Difficult, lengthy fertility and IVF experiences frequently involve loss, grief, anxiety and loneliness.

They can put partnerships under enormous stress and pressure and the cultural taboo around these issues can make them very isolating experiences too.

We can support clients to manage anxiety, cope with grief, support optimum fertility with mind body techniques, resolve past trauma and navigate the emotional minefield that becoming pregnant can be.
