Postpartum Counselling

The Why

The shift into the postpartum period is undoubtedly one of the most transformative, yet also one of the most overlooked. Far too many parents feel judged, shamed, or isolated simply for experiencing the common challenges that come with one of life’s toughest transitions. If any of the following feel familiar, you’re not alone and you’re in the right place:

  • overworked and undervalued

  • identity confusion and loss of self

  • self-doubt, worthlessness, and guilt

  • frustration, rage, and anxiety

  • overwhelm

  • compromised needs and violated expectations

The How

I can support with:

  • Managing strong emotions

  • Intrusive thoughts

  • Processing grief and/or loss (I support all pregnancy outcomes including birth, miscarriage, abortion, and loss)

  • Adjusting to and making sense of this profound change

  • Postpartum anxiety

  • Postpartum rage

The What

Counselling sessions are tailored to meet you where you are at in your postpartum journey. Sessions can take place:

  • Virtually. Because getting out of the home with a baby can be really hard!

  • In Nature (6 weeks onwards). Let’s be real, postpartum can be deeply isolating. Engaging in nature-based therapy can help create a sense of belonging, reduce feelings of loneliness, and help you make sense of your experiences. Connecting in nature holds endless possibilities for exploring emotions, gaining clarity, and developing resilience in a calming and restorative environment.

  • Babies are welcome in sessions!

  • I am happy to work with parents (both the birthing person and non-birthing person) up to 2 years postpartum.

  • One-on-one and group sessions available.
