There are few life transitions as significant as becoming a parent. It can be one of life’s most meaningful experiences, yet it is also a profound psychological shift. Alongside joy and connection, many new parents experience anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or a sense of loss for aspects of their previous life. Sleep deprivation, changing relationships, and the pressure to “get it right” can intensify these feelings.

Through my work with a mental health charity, I support parents during the perinatal stage—the first 1001 critical days from conception onwards.  The work will often explore issues such as identity,  managing difficult emotions and relationships as well as attempting to undersrtand early experiences of being cared for.
