Perinatal Mental Health Support

Pregnancy and the first year of parenthood bring enormous physical, hormonal, and identity changes — and it's common for anxiety, low mood, intrusive thoughts, or birth trauma to surface alongside them. This work offers a steady space to process what you're feeling, without shame.

  • Pregnancy-related anxiety and mood changes
  • Postpartum depression and anxiety
  • Birth trauma and difficult birth experiences
  • Identity shifts and matrescence / patrescence
  • Loss, grief, and fertility-related distress

Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health

Babies and toddlers can't tell us in words when something feels hard — but their behaviour, sleep, feeding, and mood tell us a lot. We look together at what your child might be communicating, and build practical, relationship-based strategies to support them.

  • Sleep and feeding difficulties
  • Excessive crying, difficulty settling, or regulation struggles
  • Separation anxiety and clinginess
  • Big emotions, tantrums, and behavioural changes
  • Developmental worries and transitions (e.g., new sibling, starting childcare)

Attachment-Focused Parent-Child Therapy

These sessions bring you and your child into the room together. Rather than talking about your child, we work directly with the relationship — noticing patterns, building attunement, and repairing moments of disconnection.

  • Strengthening the parent-child bond
  • Repairing rupture after a difficult period (illness, separation, NICU stay)
  • Blended and adoptive family attachment support
  • Co-regulation coaching for parents

Reflective Parenting Consultations

Sometimes you just need space to think things through with someone who understands early childhood development. These are flexible, one-off or short-term consultations — no long-term commitment required.

  • Understanding your child's temperament and behaviour
  • Navigating a specific parenting challenge or decision
  • Preparing for a transition (returning to work, new baby, starting school)
  • A second opinion or additional support alongside other services
