How I can support you

When the wish to become a mother starts to come with anxiety, frustration, or emotional exhaustion. I can support you if you're feeling:

• Anxiety during the wait
• Obsessing over symptoms, tests, or cycles
• Frustration each time pregnancy doesn't happen
• A sense of being misunderstood or alone
• The emotional impact of fertility treatments

Not every pregnancy arrives when we expect it, or is lived with desire or excitement.

I offer you a safe space, free of judgement, where you can express what you feel, explore your doubts and connect with what you need to make a conscious decision that is truly your own.

• Conflicting emotions or ambivalence
• Fear, guilt, confusion or rejection
• Doubts about whether to continue the pregnancy
• Pressure from your partner, family or surroundings
• A need to talk without feeling judged

Because being pregnant doesn't always mean living it with calm or constant happiness. I can help you if you're going through:

• Anxiety and fear that something will go wrong
• High-risk pregnancy
• Difficulty enjoying or connecting with the pregnancy
• Intrusive thoughts or mental loops
• Fear of birth

Receiving difficult news or going through months of uncertainty can be deeply overwhelming. Many women feel they have to hold everything together while trying to keep functioning "as normal". This can be a space where you don't have to do it alone. I can support you in situations such as:

• Difficult diagnoses or waiting for medical results
• Uncertainty about the baby's health
• Hospital stays or bed rest
• Constant fear and a state of alert
• Processing complex decisions and feeling overwhelmed

The pain of a loss is often lived in silence and with a sense of being misunderstood. I support grief processes related to:

• Miscarriages or pregnancy losses
• Termination of pregnancy
• Perinatal grief
• Guilt, anger, or emotional emptiness
• Pregnancy after a loss and fear in later pregnancies

The postpartum can stir up much more than you imagined. And even if you love your baby, that doesn't mean everything has to feel good. I can support you if you're experiencing:

• Postpartum anxiety and a sense of being overwhelmed
• Maternal guilt and self-demand
• Difficulty adapting to this new stage
• Changes in your identity or not recognising yourself
• Emotional loneliness

Sometimes suffering doesn't only come from what is happening, but also from how you speak to yourself while you go through it. We can work together on things like:

• Self-demand and perfectionism
• Low self-esteem and a critical inner dialogue
• Difficulty regulating emotions
• A need for control
• Difficulty setting boundaries

Trying to conceive, pregnancy, the postpartum and raising children can also transform your relationship.

If you find you argue more, struggle to understand each other or have stopped finding each other as a couple, I offer a space to understand what is happening and learn new ways of communicating, caring for each other and feeling close again.

• Arguments that keep repeating without being resolved
• Distance or difficulty understanding each other
• Changes in your relationship after a loss or the arrival of a baby
• Tiredness and mental load that cause conflict
• A wish to feel close again
