Are you a highly sensitive person? Do you find yourself worrying more than you would like? Are you having difficulty sleeping? Have you experienced recent or historical trauma? Do you think you have depression or anxiety?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Are you struggling with becoming a parent?
The journey of pregnancy, birth and parenthood may be more difficult than you anticipated and you may be looking for perinatal counselling support. It can be common to have past experiences of trauma resurface after having a child. This can be difficult, confusing and overwhelming during this transition.
Many parents may struggle in pregnancy or after the birth of their baby with: birth trauma, overwhelm, worry, sadness, intrusive thoughts, ptsd, anxiety, adjustment or prenatal/ postpartum depression. Short term counselling has been shown to be very effective for perinatal mood concerns and birth trauma.
YOU CAN DO THIS.
Postpartum depression or anxiety, birth trauma and/or concerns with your mood can be experienced by anyone in pregnancy or after childbirth. If you are worried about yourself or someone you know, contact me for support or more information.
