Therapy for perinatal mental health
We offer a range of therapy approaches to support you through pregnancy, postpartum, and the broader transitions of becoming a parent.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Attachment-based therapy focuses on strengthening emotional bonds and understanding relational patterns, supporting the development of secure, supportive connections.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) / Parts Work
IFS helps you understand the different parts of yourself, including those that protect, criticise, or strive. It supports greater self-compassion and a more balanced, connected sense of self.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioural therapy helps you notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to low mood.
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Compassion-focused therapy helps soften self-criticism and shame by building a kinder, more supportive inner voice and a greater sense of emotional safety and self-acceptance.
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD) affects 1 in 5 women during pregnancy and/or after the birth of a child.
Find comfort and support through all the ups and downs
Having a baby is full of challenges, no matter how prepared you might feel. It's easy to become overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. You might feel bad for even having these emotions, convinced that you should be happy and pretending everything's fine, even though you're struggling inside.
If your journey to parenthood is harder than you expected, it's important to remember that you don't have to struggle alone.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about our perinatal counselling services.
You do not need a referral from your doctor or anyone else to see a counsellor. Book your first session today!
Absolutely! We recognize how challenging it can be to find time during the postpartum period to attend appointments for yourself. Our counsellors are very comfortable with having babies in sessions!
The first appointment is called an "intake session," and is often an information gathering session. There will be some paperwork to go over, a discussion about the counselling process, and an opportunity for you to ask questions. The first session often has a different "feel" compared to other counselling sessions. Since everyone is different, the first session helps your counsellor get to know you and find out in more detail about how they can help.
