Perinatal & Infant Mental Health

Planning, starting, or expanding a family can bring with it many kinds of challenges. When a baby comes along, the family can face emotional turmoil, and mental health can flair up.

Parents can face infertility and pregnancy-related complications, birth trauma, infant development concerns, difficulties bonding with a baby, resurfacing of intergenerational traumas or concerns, marital conflict, and immense parental hardship. We can help you to understand and face these challenges, to heal trauma, and to enjoy parenthood.

You can reach out to see us while you are pregnant or after your baby arrives. When we meet with you, we can help you to think about the types of support that can help you to welcome your baby and to navigate the many challenges that mothers and fathers face with a newborn in the house. Seeking help at this stage is ideal, since you and your baby will then have many years ahead to benefit from the work that you do to stabilise problems that exist in the family.

We honour the full diversity of human experience. We are committed to providing care that is neuroaffirming, culture-affirming, and gender- and sexuality-affirming, recognising that well-being is deeply shaped by identity, community, and lived experience. We respect and celebrate differences in neurodivergence, race, culture, language, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Our therapists work from frameworks that centre curiosity, compassion, and collaboration, rather than pathologising difference. We aim to create a therapeutic space where people can bring their whole selves—where the ways you think, feel, relate, and express yourself are met with understanding and genuine respect. We acknowledge the histories and systems that shape each person’s story, and we actively engage in reflective and ongoing learning to ensure our work remains inclusive and responsive. Our goal is to foster relationships that empower individuals, couples, and families to explore growth, authenticity, and connection—within themselves and within their communities.
