Psychological Counselling

At Nurturing Women Psychology, we focus on the unique mental health challenges faced by women during the perinatal period. We provide tailored support to navigate the emotional, psychological, and physical transitions of pregnancy and postpartum, ensuring every woman feels seen, heard, and cared for during this significant life chapter.

In addition to perinatal care, we offer a range of services to support women at all stages of life. From managing stress and anxiety to navigating relationships and major life transitions, our practice is dedicated to empowering women with the tools they need to thrive.

Understanding ADHD in Women

ADHD in women often presents differently than in men and is frequently undiagnosed, especially during the perinatal period. Hormonal shifts and the demands of motherhood can exacerbate symptoms, leading to feelings of overwhelm and self-doubt. We provide specialised care to help women understand and manage ADHD, offering strategies to improve focus, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.

Undiagnosed ADHD can impact emotional regulation, memory, and organisation - all critical during the perinatal period. Our approach includes education and therapy to support women in navigating these challenges with confidence and compassion.

Adjusting to Work After the Perinatal Period

Returning to work after the perinatal period can be a challenging adjustment. Balancing professional responsibilities with the demands of new motherhood often requires navigating feelings of guilt, anxiety, and self-expectation. Our practice offers resources and counselling to help women transition back to work with a focus on setting boundaries, building routines, and seeking necessary support.

We believe that having a supportive network and creating sustainable strategies can make this period a smoother and more empowering experience.

Exploring Childhood Memories During the Perinatal Period

The perinatal period often brings to the surface memories and emotions from one’s own childhood. These reflections can be both enriching and challenging, as they influence how a woman approaches motherhood. Unresolved issues or past traumas may resurface, adding complexity to the parenting journey.

At Nurturing Women Psychology, we provide a safe space to explore these feelings, helping women process their experiences and build a nurturing approach to parenting that aligns with their values and aspirations.
