1:1 Maternal Therapy (In person or online)
Does this sound like you?
You want to enjoy being with your child but regularly find yourself trying to do the gentle parenting thing through gritted teeth.
​
You try to contain your emotions, anger, sadness, anxiety but it's becoming harder.
​
When plans derail or your little one needs more from you, that surge of anxiety or anger rises so quickly it scares you, and afterward, the guilt of the impact is overwhelming.
​
Each day blurs into the next as you mechanically go through the motions, feeling like you're on a treadmill and not really living life.
​
You find yourself mindlessly scrolling through perfectly curated feeds, either comparing your messy reality to others' highlight reels or simply escaping the overwhelm for a few precious minutes.
​
Your cup is constantly empty as everyone else's needs come first, and the thought of an icebreaker asking "and what do you do for fun?" sets your teeth on edge and makes you want to cry
​
You've read every parenting book, tried every routine, and searched countless forums, desperately hoping the next parenting method will finally make everything click.
​
You look at other mothers who seem to be thriving and think, "What's wrong with me that I can't handle what comes naturally to everyone else?"
​
You're done with feeling like this and you're ready for change.
If you answered YES to any of these statements, then maternal therapy is for you - that last one though - it's a biggy!
What you'll gain from our work together...
Taking time for yourself without guilt so you can finally enjoy that cup of tea or have time away from your child without feeling selfish.
​
Taking unexpected changes in your stride without anger or resentment building.
​
Giving yourself permission to truly rest when your little one sleeps, rather than racing through tasks.
​
Rediscovering the woman behind the mother so you can follow your passions, because you matter too.
​
Finding peace with your birth story or journey to motherhood, so thoughts no longer spiral.
​
Catching anxiety before it takes over, with practical tools that bring you back to calm quickly.
​
Expressing your needs clearly to your partner, rebuilding the connection that parenthood tested.
​
Feeling like you're in control; of your emotions, thoughts, life so you can confidently make decisions.​
​
Being the mum you want to be or maybe caring for your child in a way you weren't cared for.
What my clients say...
"It's blown my mind how being listened to, like really listened to, has helped me with how I was feeling about the birth. I was so angry and I just didn't understand why. You helped me see why I was stuck where I was and I'm so grateful. I'm now starting to move forward and be kinder to myself too!"
Mum to 6 month old and 3 year old
"Thank you so much for everything. I feel like a different person now from the one who sat in a daze crying on your sofa in our first session. I'm getting out the house now, not without some anxiety but it's not having the same effect and I can see it for what it is and its lessening"
Mum to 5 month old
​"I thought I was such an awful mum, it took me so long to come to see you because I was just so ashamed. but I view myself so differently now. And boundaries! I'd never even thought about boundaries before our sessions but it's been a game changer putting these in place. Thank you!"
Mum to 2 year old
How does therapy for mums help?
Using a combination of psychotherapies (Person Centred, parts work, Psychodynamic therapy, and Compassion Focused Therapy) and current research on the neuroscience of motherhood, and societal messages that keep us stuck, we'll explore the hidden parts of your identity that are keeping you stuck. Together we'll gently explore your difficult emotions, liberate you from the beliefs that are holding you down and develop key strategies to calm your nervous system, so that you are free to live your life with balance and fulfilment.
After therapy you will:
✔ Understand the root of your feelings rather than just battling symptoms, finally making sense of your experience.
​
✔ Break free from those exhausting thought spirals by addressing concerns one by one with clarity and purpose.
​
✔ Recognise your emotional triggers before they overtake you, responding with new strategies that actually work.
​
✔ Rebuild your confidence as both a mother and the woman you are beyond motherhood.
​
✔ Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you naturally offer your child, even on the hardest days.
​
✔ Transform your reactions with practical nervous system regulation tools that bring you back to calm quickly.
​
✔ Create sustainable changes that support your wellbeing for the long-term, not just quick fixes that fade.
