What it can feel like.
Becoming a parent is one of life’s biggest transitions, where joy, responsibility and stress meet. Many new parents experience mood and adjustment difficulties during pregnancy or in the first year after birth, and anxiety, depression or birth-related trauma can emerge. You don’t need to wait for a crisis to talk to someone.
- Anxiety, worry or intrusive thoughts
- Low mood, or feeling “not like yourself”
- Overwhelm, emotional swings or decision fatigue
- Distress about a difficult or traumatic birth
- Struggling with sleep, relationship changes or the demands of a newborn
These experiences are common, and they affect partners and non-birthing parents too.
How we approach perinatal support
Our psychologists follow national guidelines on perinatal mental health, and fit support around your life and your baby.
- 1
Understanding your experience
Your psychologist starts with what’s going on for you, including your pregnancy or birth, sleep, mood and the changes in your role and identity. You’ll talk about what brought you here and what you’d like to change.
- 2
Choosing an approach together
Your psychologist explains the options and why they might suit you, then you agree on a plan together.
- 3
Reviewing the plan together
Along the way, your psychologist checks progress with you, using measures chosen for you and what you’re working on, and adjusts the plan if needed.
What support can include
- Perinatal mental health assessment Looking at stressors like sleep disruption, hormonal change, role and identity shifts, fatigue and birth trauma.
- Therapy adapted for pregnancy and early parenthood Evidence-based therapy, with practical information about what’s happening for you and why.
- Parent–infant support Guidance on bonding with your baby and early parenting.
- Support for partners and families Care for partners, non-birthing parents and other family caregivers.
- In person or online Sessions at our clinics or by telehealth, depending on what suits you.

What can therapy help with during pregnancy or early parenthood?
Therapy supports you through the emotional, hormonal and identity changes that come with pregnancy, birth and life with a new baby. Many parents experience anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, birth-related trauma or difficulty adjusting to the demands of caring for a newborn. Therapy provides a safe space to unpack what feels heavy and work on coping strategies for this stage.
Do I need to be experiencing a crisis to seek perinatal support?
Not at all. Perinatal therapy is just as valuable for early challenges as it is for more significant symptoms. Many people seek support because they feel “not like themselves,” are struggling with sleep, emotional swings, relationship changes or decision fatigue. Getting help early means small worries can be talked through before they build, for both you and your baby.
Can partners or non-birthing parents also attend therapy?
Yes. The transition to parenthood impacts everyone in the family, not just the birthing parent. Partners often face their own pressures: supporting the pregnancy, adjusting to changing routines, managing work demands and navigating new responsibilities. We offer therapy for partners and co-parents so the whole family feels supported.
Is telehealth an option if I am recovering, breastfeeding or caring for a newborn?
Yes. Many parents find telehealth the most practical option during pregnancy and postpartum. You can have sessions from home without organising childcare, packing up the baby or travelling.
What if I have a history of anxiety, depression or trauma?
A previous mental health history can actually be a reason to get support early, not a barrier. Our psychologists take the time to understand your history and create a plan tailored to you. We monitor risk carefully, ensure continuity of care and work collaboratively with your GP, obstetrician or midwife if needed. With the right support around you, a previous history is something we plan for together.
