Pregnancy and early parenthood

Therapy can help with managing overwhelm, self-criticism, and coping with uncertainty. 
Dr Jen, the Psychology Haven

Becoming a parent is a huge transition, and one that we may not be fully prepared for.

It is a time of many positive emotions but can also bring difficult and intense feelings as you navigate the changes in your relationships and your developing identity as a parent, whilst managing the impact of sleep deprivation, increased anxiety or a dip in mood.

There can be a pressure to know what you’re doing, with many potential sources of comparison or guilt to contend with.  

Therapy can help with managing overwhelm, self-criticism, and coping with uncertainty. 

It can be a space for thinking about how to meet your own needs alongside caring for your baby.
