I'm an Integrative Therapist with a passion for helping adults navigate life's challenges, from anxiety and depression to grief, loss and trauma. I specialise in pregnancy and birth, having trained in perinatal loss and worked with Gloucestershire's only pregnancy and baby loss counselling charity Footsteps Counselling & Care.

I'm a highly specialist perinatal clinical psychologist with 11 years of post qualification experience working with clients across the lifespan with varied presentations. Since 2021 I have specialised in working with parents in the perinatal period in maternity and neonatal services. I am also the mother of three children, so I truly understand the great joy but unique challenges the perinatal period can throw up. 

Experiencing a traumatic birth is devastating. Maybe you were spoken to unkindly. Maybe you thought you, or your partner, or baby might die. Maybe something happened to your body that felt violating. Maybe life as a parent is not what you imagined it would be. I am an integrative counsellor with over a decade of experience supporting new families in non-clinical roles. I work with adults and all types of family including LGBTQ+ and solo parents.

I am an experienced, caring and compassionate Counselling Psychologist, with a passion for supporting women through their perinatal journey. As a mother of a young child myself, I understand the unique pressures that motherhood (and the struggles towards becoming a mother) can bring. I also understand just how hard it can be to reach out for help.

I am an experienced clinical psychologist with a passion for supportingwomen and their partners following perinatal and birth trauma. After working at Great Ormond Street Hospital for many years, with pregnant women and in the neonatal intensive care unit, I am now Perinatal Lead at the Integrated Psychology Clinic.

Jessy works with clients who experience anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and confidence issues, loss and bereavement as well as issues around pregnancy, birth and early years, and providing specific therapeutic support for any associated traumas.

I have a particular interest in working with trauma, especially the impact of Birth Trauma. I have also worked in the NHS as a Specialist Neonatal counsellor supporting families through their NICU experience.

I work in a person-centred way which allows you to work at your own pace but will use relaxation and visualisation techniques to regulate emotions helping prevent you from becoming traumatised all over again. You will gain a deeper understanding of your experiences allowing you to process them and move forward with your life.

I work with complex cases with integrative psychotherapy regarding trauma, CPTSD, PTSD, attachment issues, postnatal depression, anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship issues and family issues. Please call for advice and information.

My ethos is to respond to individual needs, anxieties and distress, providing a safe space in which to work through concerns. It is my hope that through working together, counselling can help bring you relief from emotional distress, improve your relationships and help you to make constructive changes.

I am a mother of three boys, a clinical psychologist, and a birth doula – my experience as a doula gives me a unique understanding of what actually happens in the birthing room. I have been treating trauma successfully for over 25 years and have specialised in perinatal mental health for the past 15 years.

The key to my approach is to create a genuine and understanding relationship with you that’s as free of judgement as possible and then to support you to find your own answers to your distress at your own pace.

As a midwife I have a unique insight into the trauma which can occur during the perinatal period and am passionate about using this insight to support individuals, couples and families effected by birth trauma, perinatal mental health issues, feeding issues and all areas of birth trauma.

My aim is to support women through person-centred and psychodynamic counselling approaches to gain a better understanding of their experience so they can gain clarity and control and become the woman they wish to be.

I am a BABCP, COSRT and EMDR Europe accredited psychotherapist and have extensive experience working within the NHS as a psychosexual therapist and a specialist midwife within perinatal mental health services. I also worked for Relate as a psychosexual and relationship therapist for several years.

I use various types of therapy including cognitive behavioural therapy, cognitive analytic therapy and psychodynamic therapy.

I want to support new parents affected by birth trauma so that they can come to terms with their birth experience, helping them to recover and enjoy life with their baby.

Christina is a kind, compassionate, gentle Human Givens psychotherapist with over thirty years experience working across the social care sector including the NHS, GP surgeries, community mental health teams , the charity sector and in private practice. For the last fifteen years she has been working with those who are pregnant, giving birth or in the early months of parenthood.

You shouldn't be left feeling upset when you think about your birth experience. Perhaps you ended up having an emergency c-section after planning a water birth. Maybe there was a medical problem with you or your baby, or you felt ignored by people who were supposed to be caring for you. Instead of being joyful and happy, as you had imagined it, your experience of giving birth felt lonely and frightening.

I work with women who have experienced birth-related trauma. I gently hold space for you to share your stories, explore your feelings with all the tender parts of you. I ask curious questions, offer reflections, guidance and wisdom to help you decide on how you want to move forward.
