Perinatal Mental Health

Support for parents experiencing perinatal depression and anxiety

Did you know that as many as 1 in 5 mothers, and 1 in 10 fathers experience depression and anxiety after the birth of their child? 


Becoming a parent is life-changing — filled with joy, love, and at times, overwhelming challenges. Postnatal depression (PND) and anxiety can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or previous experience.


You may be experiencing:

  • Persistent sadness or low mood
  • Excessive worry or panic
  • Guilt or hopelessness
  • Difficulty bonding with your baby
  • Changes in appetite or sleep
  • Feeling disconnected or numb
  • Intrusive or frightening thoughts


These feelings are not a sign of weakness. They are more common than many realise — and help is available.


Whether you’re newly postpartum or months into parenthood, we’re here to support your mental health journey.


Who We Support

We offer counselling for:

  • Mothers experiencing postnatal depression or anxiety
  • Fathers/partners dealing with emotional challenges
  • Parents adjusting to new roles or struggling with identity
  • Families navigating complex birth experiences


Individual, couple, or family group sessions available.
