Counselling for the Motherload
Motherhood is one of the most profound transitions a woman can experience. With it comes joy, but also overwhelm, exhaustion, identity changes, and invisible pressures.
​
Through gentle, woman-centred counselling, I support you to process the emotional weight of motherhood — without guilt, shame or judgement. Together, we can create space to honour your story, reconnect with yourself, and support your mental and emotional wellbeing.
the emotional load of motherhood
As a mother, you may feel like there’s no time for your own emotions — and yet they’re always there, bubbling beneath the surface.
​
Suppressing emotions may work short term, but over time can lead to anxiety, depression, resentment or burnout. That's why tending to your emotional health is not a luxury — it's essential.
about counselling through motherhood
My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, somatic psychotherapy and holistic counselling. I work with:
-
Somatic psychotherapy: breath, gentle movement, body-based self-awareness
-
Emotional processing tools to help you build boundaries, restore energy and reclaim calm
Sessions help soothe the nervous system, boost emotional resilience, and guide you back into alignment with your values and inner wisdom.
