Counselling for a healthy and confident pregnancy and parenthood

There is support for you who needs

Pregnancy and the time with a newborn baby is quite a revolutionary period in life when many thoughts and feelings of different sorts often arise. If you feel these feelings and thoughts are a heavy weight to carry, it’s valuable to ask for help and support. You don’t have to be alone with your difficulties, and counselling is a way for you to have as good a pregnancy and parenting as possible. No concerns are too big or small; I’ll meet you where you are. 

Depending on your needs, I offer 1-3 support meetings and more extended and deeper counselling. If you need help as a couple, you are as welcome. In an initial meeting, we will review your unique needs and wishes and take it from there.

Support meetings – For you experiencing a lighter burden or difficulty, 1-3 sessions can be sufficient. Topics can be worry, stress, insecurity about your new role as a parent or other issues. This is also for you as a couple who experience communication problems or other relational difficulties in your new life situation.

Counselling – We all have our unique attachment history, personality and life situation. Many of us have things that burden us that can be valuable to sort out before becoming a parent. In counselling, we dig a bit deeper to sort out what’s in the way for you to be the parent you wish to be for your child. Generally, we have the intention of meeting 5 sessions, then reconcile our process and decide if further counselling is needed.
