Perinatal Mental Health
Up to 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men experience perinatal mental health challenges. During this time, it’s common to feel unlike yourself, and it may affect your relationships or how connected you feel with your baby.
Key information you should know
- Perinatal mental health issues can arise during pregnancy or in the first year after birth.
- Common concerns include postpartum depression, anxiety, birth trauma, and adjustment difficulties.
- Symptoms may include sadness, guilt, panic, irritability, sleep issues, or trouble bonding with your baby.
- These experiences can impact the whole family and your baby’s development.
We understand how difficult and overwhelming the perinatal period can be. Whether you’re a new parent or expecting, our psychologists offer compassionate, evidence-based support for the emotional challenges that can arise during this time.
We offer evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and attachment-based approaches to support your emotional wellbeing, strengthen your bond with your baby, and ease the transition into parenthood. Support is also available for partners navigating these changes.
We know this period can feel really tough, and we’re here to provide support that meets you where you’re at.
