The Perinatal Psychology Practice is committed to strengthening relationships and providing tailored support for those in the perinatal period.

We specialise in working with families to help manage the difficulties that can be associated with conception, pregnancy and the postnatal period.

In pregnancy, the people around us can expect us to be thrilled and excited and if we feel anxious, upset or ambivalent about our pregnancy we can feel very alone and unable to talk about our inner most fears. The early parenting years can also involve many stressors and challenges for parents.

We have experience working with families to help manage the difficulties that can be associated with conception, pregnancy and the postnatal period. Please explore our website for more information on the difficulties we can help you with.
