I have done this community a disservice and I think it's about time I did better.

I hear you, I see you.

Nobody tells you how lonely parenthood can feel—even when you’re sitting right next to the person you love.

One of you might feel like you’re drowning in responsibility.
The other might feel invisible, unsure how to help.

And sometimes, both of you are hurting quietly, afraid to say the words: “I’m not okay.”

Postpartum depression doesn’t just happen to mums—it can affect partners too. What breaks the silence is courage, conversation, and knowing you’re not alone.

💌 If this speaks to you, I support couples in the perinatal period to have the tough conversations. Subscribe through the link in bio to be the first to know when couples sessions open —because your relationship deserves support, too.

The very survival of the family depends on the happiness of the couple - Esther Perel

Becoming a parent is a beautifully overwhelming time in the couples life cycle. Research has shown that birth trauma can magnify new parent strain leading to ongoing conflict and disconnection (Delicate & Ayers, 2023)

Understanding trauma and its effects is an important factor for overcoming the impact of birth trauma. Women report their partners willingness to listen and understand their distress was pivotal in limiting the impact of birth trauma on their relationship.

A dyadic approach to birth trauma is well supported due to the need for emotional support within the couple and the clear lack of understanding around the impact of trauma as well as the emotional needs of men during this time as well.

We put too much pressure on each other to be there completely for one another. It is clear in the case of post partum and particularly with experiences of birth trauma that couples require extra mental health support and that is absolutely okay. We need to start giving ourselves permission as parents to take care of us too.

We can all too often fall victim to our own shame story.

Ever heard the phrase "kill em with kindness..." well it's the same for that critical inner bully you carry around with you as well. Kill it with kindness!

Now this is easier said than done! We are all on the journey of muting that inner bully and finding some self compassion and kindness.

Alot of my sessions have revolved around rewriting the inner script so being in your own mind isn't so painful anymore.

Sharing your shame story with a therapist can be one of the most healing processes and I am privileged to share those journeys with you.

Learn to turn that inner bully / negative Nelly/ Debbie downer in your mind into your best mate!

Supervision is such a critical part of studying and working in mental health 🧠

If you are experiencing overwhelm, burnout, imposter syndrome, client stucks or disengagement, lack of creativity or joy then these are probably good indicators your supervision cup is empty. 🫠

Pop me an email to book a supervision call 📞 and bring back the joy in your work so you can continue to show up for clients in a way that truly aligns with your values 💫

After hours sessions available Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

If you are someone who needs some extra support or know someone who does. Reach out!

There is never a commitment or any pressure to book a session right away. But that first connection is such an important part of the whole process to open the door to vulnerability.

Always here for you.
