Counselling can help you deal with stress and challenges in pregnancy
Having a baby is a significant life change, and stress, emotional distress and mental health issues can occur during pregnancy, despite any positive feelings about becoming a parent again or for the first time.
My pregnancy counselling service is for couples and individuals, and I am here to support you as best I can. Perhaps you could benefit from a non-judgemental, respectful and understanding environment where you can connect with your coping abilities or make choices and changes that feel right for you.

You may find yourself acting in ways you don't like - despite your efforts, or find it difficult to nurture your child's development and self-esteem.
My role is to help you be the best parent that you can be, which I trust will also benefit your child or children. To support this process, I offer a safe space where you can:
We can work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you and for as long as you need.
