Perinatal Hypnotherapy & Emotional Support
Gentle, personalised online support for anxiety, fear, overwhelm and difficult experiences during pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.
Perhaps something still doesn’t feel right
You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed or constantly on edge during pregnancy or early parenthood. Perhaps you are frightened about birth, struggling to switch off, or finding it difficult to feel calm or hopeful about what lies ahead.
​
You may be replaying parts of your pregnancy, birth or early postnatal experience, or noticing that certain memories still bring up strong feelings. Or maybe everything looks fine from the outside, but inside you simply do not feel like yourself.
​
I offer one-to-one perinatal hypnotherapy, as well as Three Step Rewind for people who are still affected by a difficult or traumatic pregnancy, birth or postnatal experience. The support is gentle, personalised and focused on what is affecting you now, and may include hypnotherapy, guided relaxation, recordings or simple techniques to use between sessions.
​
You do not need to know exactly what kind of support you need before getting in touch, and you do not have to prove that what you are experiencing is serious enough.
​
If it is affecting you, it matters.
Please message me first and I’ll help you work out the most appropriate next step.
This support may help if…
-
You feel anxious, overwhelmed or constantly on edge during pregnancy or early parenthood.
-
You are frightened about labour, birth or what might happen.
-
You find it difficult to relax, switch off or quieten anxious thoughts.
-
You keep replaying something that happened during pregnancy, birth or afterwards.
-
Certain memories or reminders bring difficult feelings rushing back.
-
A previous pregnancy or birth experience is affecting how you feel about another pregnancy or birth.
-
You feel disconnected from yourself, your baby or the parent you expected to be.
-
You simply do not feel like yourself.
You may recognise several of these experiences, or perhaps only one. Either way, you are welcome to get in touch and ask about support.
How the support works
Some people come because they are feeling anxious, overwhelmed or frightened in pregnancy or early parenthood. Others are looking for help after a difficult or traumatic experience.
​
Whatever has brought you here, you decide what you want to share and when. You will not be pressured to tell your whole story, and you do not need to describe difficult experiences in detail for the sessions to be helpful.
​
The support is structured, collaborative and led by what feels manageable for you. Depending on what you need, sessions may include guided relaxation, hypnotherapy-based techniques, grounding tools, nervous system regulation techniques or Three Step Rewind.
​
Three Step Rewind is a structured three-session process for people who still feel strongly affected by a difficult or traumatic pregnancy, birth or postnatal experience. It is designed to help reduce the emotional intensity attached to those memories without requiring you to repeatedly retell everything that happened..
​
There may be some practice during sessions, and you may be given recordings or simple techniques to use between appointments.
Listening to recordings or practising techniques at home can help support the work we do together.
​
All sessions take place privately online. You will need a quiet, private space, a reliable internet connection and childcare for the duration of each session, so the work can feel safe, focused and uninterrupted.
​
Perinatal hypnotherapy usually begins with three sessions, then we review what would be helpful next. Three Step Rewind follows a structured three-session process.
​
You remain in control throughout.
People I work with often describe:
Feeling calmer and less on edge.
Being better able to switch off or quieten anxious thoughts
Feeling less pulled back into particular moments.
Finding it easier to think about a future pregnancy or birth.
Feeling more settled, more confident or more like themselves again.
Everyone’s experience is different, and no particular outcome can be guaranteed.
The aim is not to erase what happened or tell you how you should feel, but to help anxiety, fear or difficult memories take up less space in your life now.
