Your body and your brain have gone through a huge experience. You might be questioning what has happened to you or experience flashbacks, low mood, heightened anxiety, panic attacks and the thought of having another baby might be completely out of the question, but all of these things can be helped with counselling and talking therapies.

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.

I’m a senior practitioner within a large private general psychology practice offering psychological therapies and consultation to both children and adults. I also volunteer for the largest sexual health charity in the UK as a Practitioner and, in addition, offer a number of hours to the Birth Trauma Association.

I specialise in providing high-quality CBT and EMDR therapies, and can support you to work through a range of issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety (general anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety), anger, adjustment difficulties or parental difficulties (perinatal-depression, perinatal-anxiety or birth trauma).

Tracy works with clients on a daily basis suffering from anxiety and the effects of trauma, and has a special interest in birth trauma. She has also volunteered for the BTA, keen to give back to the association, as they were so supportive in her own recovery.

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.

25 years as a practising midwife places me in a prime position to offer women and partners a specialist therapy. I trained as a birth trauma resolution therapist with the acclaimed psychotherapist, Jennifer Mullan in 2017 and work in North Bedfordshire.

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.

I have 20 years’ experience in the NHS as a RMN. I currently work part-time as a specialist community nurse within the Leeds Perinatal Mental Health Service. I offer private EMDR therapy or emotional support, whether you are pregnant, or if you need to target a birth trauma before contemplating a future pregnancy.

I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, specialising in pregnancy and postpartum therapy. In my practice, I regularly assist new mums to recover from traumatic births, to feel confident and content.

You do not need to suffer in silence. There are evidence-based therapies that can support you not only to recover from a traumatic birth, but to emerge from this experience as the parent that you want to be.

I am a senior clinical psychologist with many years’ experience working perinatally and with people struggling with their mental health and trauma. I am also a mother of two children, with experience both of traumatic birth, and of how different and positive subsequent birth experience can be.

I am a qualified psychotherapist with many years of experience of working with mums, partners and parents-to-be. I have managed an NHS perinatal counselling service and have expertise in working with many of the challenges that can be experienced in the perinatal period.

I can support individuals experiencing a range of difficulties in the perinatal period including: birth trauma, perinatal loss, adjustment to the role of parenting, tokophobia and perinatal low mood and anxiety.

Katherine has extensive training in both trauma and in attachment issues. She is able to offer specialist therapy for those who need support with anxiety, OCD and depression before, during and after pregnancy; infertility miscarriage and pregnancy loss; assisted reproduction; and couples issues around reproduction and early parenthood.

I have 10 years of experience of working within a maternity setting as both a nurse and a midwife and in that time have developed a real interest in working with parents who feel that they need to explore their birth experience further or are daunted by the prospect of parenthood.

I strongly believe in early intervention and I specialise in supporting parents who are struggling to bond with their babies. These kinds of struggles can be due to a traumatic birth, an early separation, parents’ own difficult childhood, past trauma, a bereavement…

I specialise in the assessment and treatment of psychological difficulties following traumatic experiences and have expertise and clinical experience in treating a range of psychological difficulties.
