About

Congratulations on your coming arrival! In the lead up to having your baby you've probably attended birth classes, prepared a nursery, and brainstormed names. But if you're like many first time parents, you might not have spent much time preparing your relationship or psychological wellbeing for the challenges that are often experienced once you bring your baby home. I was the same, and this is normal given you haven't been there yet, however both anecdote and research indicates that preparation in advance will make the transition to parenthood smoother and will lead to better parenting outcomes.

Or maybe you already have children, or have recently welcomed your new baby home and are finding yourself feeling overwhelmed and low more often than not. Having a baby is often spoken about as one of the most rewarding experiences in life, but the highs of parenthood don't come without their difficulties. Furthermore, some people find that the transition to parenthood raises many questions about identity and roles. This can lead us to feel a variety of distressing and conflicting feelings all at once.

Life after Birth is a psychology service focused on preparing women and/or their partners for the challenges to both mental health and relationships that come with having a baby and raising children. Treatment is also available for a variety of mental health concerns in the pre and postnatal period.
