Postnatal Depression
Some mothers will experience some days after the birth of a baby where they feel teary, emotional and overwhelmed. Often called "the baby blues", if it persists for a prolonged period of time, it can lead to being diagnosed as postnatal depression.
Coping with a newborn can be challenging even when we feel 'on top' of everything, but if depression is affecting your every moment, it is a lot to deal with.
I am a qualified antenatal teacher with a lot of experience supporting families through this kind of experience. If you need support, I can help, and, if you wish, you can bring your baby along with you.
Home visits are also an option.*

Parenting
Being a parent can be the most challenging job for some. It can bring about feelings of helplessness that lead to stress and anxiety. How we were parented ourselves plays a large role in are own ability to parent with confidence.
Exploring our values and beliefs around parenting, as well as understanding how we ourselves were parented can lead to a much more relaxed and successful parenting style. Attending therapy to help manage this is not a sign of failure of your parenting skills, it is a sign you love and care for your children and yourself.
Your children will thank you!
