“Whilst the discovery of becoming pregnant is often a joyous occasion, it can also come with a certain amount of stress and anxiety. It may be due the implications of the pregnancy, which can be overwhelming, or a prior traumatic birth that has left mixed feelings towards going through labour and birth again.
Sometimes these feelings can build up and can cause anxiety and depression. Especially in a world where it is so easy to compare yourself with others on social media, your own expectations can become unrealistic.
If you feel that you are suffering with antenatal anxiety or feelings of depression it is worth seeking help. Ignoring these feelings can make them worse, and pregnancy should be a happy time for any woman.
With our counsellors you can relay your concerns in a safe, non-judgmental environment. They can help you to work through your feelings and better understand your own needs. Helping you to learn coping mechanisms and relaxations techniques, that will be beneficial not just during pregnancy but throughout life.
A tailored course of counselling for expectant mums can take place with one of our trained and police checked counsellors in your own home. Your partner, friend or relationship can be present if you feel you wish them to be. Alternatively, you are able to come to our offices and talk in a secure but more clinical environment. The choice is yours, as your comfort and wellbeing is paramount.
Prices start from £30/1hr session (approximately 50mins will be spent in counselling).
