Birth Counselling

Birth is a profound and transformative experience that can bring a wide range of emotions. Whether you’re feeling excited, nervous, or uncertain, perinatal therapy can support you in preparing mentally and emotionally for this important milestone and help you embrace your journey into motherhood with confidence.

Understanding Birth Counselling

Birth counselling provides a compassionate space to explore your feelings, informed decisions and thoughts around labour and birth. It’s designed to help you process, fears, and hopes,  supporting your emotional wellbeing as you approach this life-changing event.

How we Help

Through trauma-informed therapy tailored to your unique needs, I help you prepare for birth by addressing any anxieties or past experiences, fostering resilience and calm. We’ll work together to empower you to approach birth with greater confidence and peace.

Birth Counselling can cover:

  • Preparing emotionally and mentally for labour and delivery

  • Exploring fears or birth trauma from previous experiences

  • Building confidence in your birth choices and body

  • Explore your support systems

  • Strengthening your ability to make informed decisions throughout birth

  • Developing coping strategies for labour and postpartum

I would like to acknowledge the land on which I reside and work is the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation and I pay my respects to elders past, present and future. I also acknowledge that their cultural and spiritual connection to land is still as important to the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people today.
