Womanly Counselling for perinatal mental health is trauma oriented practice.
My practice integrates Trauma Focussed Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (TFACT); perinatal mental health counselling; with somatic psychotherapies created from my therapeutic perinatal practice - breathe for birth to offer you a place to be sincerely seen and heard in your pain and tools of breath awareness, subtle and effective somatic movement to help you find a place of acceptance and healing on your own terms.
Recognising that your mental health during the perinatal transition is not separate from your whole body, therefore a natural consequence of engaging with these practices will be felt in your capacity to accommodate each moment in your cycle/ life-stage; building energetic and emotional reserves; stimulating circulation; soothing tired mind and frayed nerves; boosting immunity; improving sleep; moderating your metabolism and building healthy emotional boundaries.
