Pregnancy/Early Parenthood Support

Has pregnancy or parenthood been harder than you expected?

Despite being loving, hardworking and excited about your baby, being a parent is hard. Our clients struggle like you do. They wonder if they are really cut out for this.

When clients first come to us, they are exhausted, both physically and emotionally drained. Their thoughts feel unfamiliar, overwhelming, and out of their control. They worry about the impact of their stress on their baby, and that worry only fuels more worry. The ways they once found peace no longer seem to work.

Parenting wakes up our childhood difficulties, challenges and trauma that we might have thought we had moved on from. Lots of our clients find that understanding this, and making room to process difficulties and patterns rooted in their past, can make the present moments with their own children a whole lot more enjoyable.

Couples therapy for parents

We work with parents and couples navigating change: challenges with conception, separation, co-parenting, or adjusting to a new family shape.

Becoming parents together can really strain even the strongest relationships. During this time, you may find it difficult to connect with your partner, experience resentment, or struggle to make space for intimacy. Daily routines change, emotions feel intense, and the weight of household responsibilities can be overwhelming.

In couples therapy, we’ll identify the challenges you’re facing and work together to strengthen communication, share responsibilities more effectively and rekindle intimacy.

*Please note: Couples therapy is not included under insured care. It is charged at €160 for the session.
