When it feels hard to keep going
Find it hard to laugh anymore? Not looking forward to much? So unhappy that you find yourself crying? Difficulty sleeping due to feeling sad? Scared of these feelings?
Depression can affect every part of life.
Depression can leave you feeling isolated, even when there are people around who care about you.
Understanding what is happening
Depression is much more than having a bad day or feeling sad from time to time, especially during pregnancy or the early stages of parenthood.
There are often many factors contributing to depression, including hormonal changes, life experiences, stress, loss, relationships, physical health, and the challenges of adjusting to a new chapter of life.
For some people, depression develops gradually. For others, it existed before parenthood and resurfaces during this challenging period of life.
Whatever your experience, you do not have to navigate it alone.
How therapy can help
When we work together, I will provide a warm and supportive space to better understand what you are experiencing.
Together, we can explore what may be contributing to your depression, identify sources of support, and find practical ways to help you move forward. My approach is collaborative and tailored to you.
We will work at a pace that feels manageable and appropriate for you.
Finding hope again
When people are experiencing depression, it can be difficult to imagine things feeling different.
With support, many pregnant people and Mums find that life gradually becomes more manageable. They reconnect with themselves, their relationship, their family, and the activities that once brought meaning to their lives.
Change does not happen overnight, but it is possible to feel more hopeful, more connected, and more able to engage with life again.
