Psychology & Counselling
We want to support you on this journey… because we know you probably feel like there is something missing.
We want to help you to let go of the guilt and anxiety, move past the dark cloud that’s over your head, the busyness and overwhelm you might be experiencing.
We want to let you in on a little secret.
The difference between where you’re at now and getting to a place where you feel calm, confident and empowered on your motherhood journey, is taking the leap of faith and reaching out for support.
Standing up and saying, ‘actually – I want more’
Motherhood is hard!
We have been told a lie about motherhood – that it should come naturally and easily, that we should be able to do it all and love every minute, that we should be completely selfless and live for our children. We have been conditioned to believe these things, but they are unrealistic and unachievable…
we can help you stop:
- Feeling like you’re failing or as though you’re not good enough
- Feeling like you’re constantly busy, but never have things done
- Feeling anxious and overthinking everything
- Feeling lost and alone in your experience of motherhood
And start:
- Feeling understood and valued in your role as a mother and woman
- Feeling confident in who you are, trusting your instincts and tuning into your values
- Feeling connected and supported so that you can show up as the best version of you for your family!
Perinatal Counselling & Psychology
Whether you’re planning for a baby, already pregnant, or navigating the postnatal period, this journey can bring both joy and unexpected challenges. It’s completely normal to feel stressed, overwhelmed, or uncertain at times. What matters most is not whether you experience these challenges, but how you support yourself through them – and who you choose to walk alongside you.
With compassionate, evidence-based support, you can find new ways to cope, build confidence, and feel more grounded during this life-changing stage.
Some of the common challenges we support women (and their families) through include:
- Anxiety, stress, or worry during pregnancy or after birth
- Feelings of guilt, shame, or pressure to be the “perfect” parent
- Adjusting to identity changes in motherhood (matrescence)
- Navigating relationship changes with your partner, family, or friends
- Coping with sleep deprivation, exhaustion, or burnout
- Balancing the mental load and demands of parenting
- Processing birth experiences, including trauma or unexpected outcomes
- Managing mood changes, sadness, or depression
- Rebuilding confidence and reconnecting with your values as a parent and as yourself
- Pregnancy and infant loss
You don’t have to navigate this season of life on your own. At The Mindful Birth Movement, we offer a safe, supportive space where you can share your experiences, explore new perspectives, and gain clarity about what truly matters to you. We’ll walk alongside you – listening deeply, offering guidance when needed, and helping you uncover your own strengths and solutions.
You are the expert of your own life, and with the right support, you can move through challenges with greater confidence and ease. If you’re ready to take that next step, we’re here to support you. Reach out today to book an appointment and begin the journey toward feeling calmer, stronger, and more connected to yourself.
