There has been growing recognition over the past twenty years that people can feel traumatised by many aspects of pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.  Around one-third of women describe some part of their birth as traumatic and around four percent meet the criteria for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

​

Birth Trauma Counselling involves regular, ongoing therapy sessions, where you will be supported to tell your story in a safe, understanding and non-judgemental environment.

​

We will work through your physical and emotional response to the experience and develop strategies that enable you to effectively process, find peace and move forward.

​

Occasionally your situation may warrant referral to another mental health practitioner and I can help to guide you through this process.
