Pregnancy Counselling
Pregnancy is a life-changing experience that comes with a mix of excitement, uncertainty, joy, anticipation, and, at times, overwhelming emotions. If you are expecting your first child or having a difficult pregnancy, I can help.
​
My counselling services support you through every step of your journey. From emotional preparation to navigating challenges, I offer compassionate care and expert guidance tailored to your needs.​ I create a safe and nurturing space where you can express your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
​
Together, we will discuss your concerns, which may include your changing body, relationships, or becoming a parent. We will focus on practical ways to manage stress and anxiety, which will help you feel calm and confident.
​
Additionally, I believe in the power of connection. Pregnancy can sometimes feel isolating, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I encourage you to talk openly with your partner and loved ones. I can help you strengthen those relationships during this important time.
​
Remember, every pregnancy journey is unique, and it’s important to honour your individual experience. By focusing on your emotional and mental health, we can help you face this journey with positivity and strength.​
