Services for new parents

For parents in the first year who want somewhere to say what is hard out loud. Sessions are conversation: what the week was like, what you are carrying, what you would like to be different. Your clinician sets the pace with you, and there is no set number of sessions.

For parents whose mind keeps running: checking the baby, replaying the birth, dreading the night. Sessions look at what the worry is about, what the days and nights are like, and what small, practical changes are open to you. If a doctor should look at how you are feeling, Bridgette will say so.

For parents grieving a pregnancy or a baby, including when another child is born after. Grief has no timeline and no single shape, and you do not have to explain why it still hurts. Sessions make room for what you feel, including feelings that sit side by side.

For parents who love the baby and still miss their old life, or who feel they no longer recognise themselves. We talk about identity, work, friendships and the plans you had, and what you would like the next year to hold.

For couples and co-parents who are short on sleep and patience, and for partners who did not give birth and are not sure there is room for them. Sessions look at how you talk to each other, who does what, and time together.
