A safe, judgement-free space to process birth trauma, maternal identity, and the complex emotions of matrescence and early parenthood.

Early parenthood often brings a flood of complex emotions that standard support doesn't always address. If you are feeling overwhelmed by shame, guilt, or the heavy weight of a difficult birth, you do not have to navigate this on your own.

As your perinatal counsellor, I offer a trauma-informed and neuro-affirming space where your emotions are met as valid. We work together to identify and strengthen the resources you already have, at a pace that respects how your brain and nervous system actually work.

This support is for mothers navigating:

Birth trauma and unresolved birth experiences
 A birth that is still living in your body — that you replay without meaning to, or that you have never been able to put into words that felt true.

Postpartum burnout and nervous system depletion
The kind of exhaustion that sleep does not touch. The shutdown, the irritability, the flat numbness, or the hypervigilance that has not lifted since your baby arrived.

Matrescence and identity shift
The loss of the self you were before, the unfamiliarity of the self you are becoming, and the grief that often sits underneath that transition to motherhood — particularly for neurodivergent mothers whose identity was already hard-won.

Late diagnosis and reframing your motherhood story
Making sense of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood in the light of a new diagnosis — and beginning to understand what was actually happening, rather than what you had been told was happening.

Rejection-sensitive dysphoria, emotional dysregulation, and alexithymia
The feelings that are too big, too sudden, or too hard to locate and name. The criticism that lands as devastation. The sense of feeling everything and being able to describe almost none of it.

Perinatal anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and hypervigilance
Not the anxiety that is resolved by breathwork and a walk. The specific, sensory, relentless anxiety that comes with being a neurodivergent parent of a small, unpredictable human.

Cultural and systemic navigation
Being a mother across maternity systems, languages, and expectations — particularly if you have navigated care in the UK, the Netherlands, Portugal, or Spain.

My work is grounded in my counselling training at the Academie voor Coaching en Counselling, my years of experience as a doula, and my own lived experience as a mother. I work from the bottom up — prioritising your nervous system's sense of safety, so you feel genuinely seen and supported at each stage rather than rushed toward a finish.
