SUPPORT FOR NEW AND EXPECTING PARENTS

Psychological Support for Pregnancy, Postpartum and Parenthood

Pregnancy, becoming a parent and the months after having a baby can bring some of the biggest changes
of your life. And while there can be plenty of wonderful moments, there can also be anxiety, overwhelm,
exhaustion, relationship changes and times when things feel much harder than you expected.

Think Parents, Bumps and Bubs provides psychological support through conception,
pregnancy, the postnatal period and early parenthood. We help new and expectant parents with
anxiety, depression, birth trauma, adjustment to parenthood, relationship stress, identity changes,
overwhelm and the mental load that comes with caring for a baby.

Our team of psychologists have specific experience in perinatal mental health, and additional training
in a number of areas relevant to this stage of life, including attachment, infant sleep, and EMDR for birth trauma.

Our approach is practical and individualised. We don’t assume there’s one right way to parent or
one strategy that will work for every family. We look at what’s going on for you, what you’d like to change,
and what’s likely to be realistic and helpful for you and your family.

And we’re mums ourselves. Every experience of parenthood is different, but being mums means we understand both
professionally and personally that the reality of becoming a parent can be quite different from how you imagined it would be.

Making Sessions Work For You

We know appointments can be harder to organise when you’re pregnant,
caring for a baby, or juggling the demands of early parenthood.

If you prefer face-to-face appointments, you’re very welcome to bring your baby with you.
Feed, change nappies, settle them to sleep or take a break if you need to - we’re used to working
around babies and will make the session work around you.

If getting out of the house is difficult, we also offer online psychology appointments,
so you can access support from home. Home visits are also an option in some circumstances.

However you choose to meet with us, the aim is to make accessing psychological support
during pregnancy and early parenthood as straightforward as possible.
