Perinatal therapy
Requirement of a minimum of 3 x1 hour sessions, at a cost of £250. The structure of the sessions is detailed below. All sessions are personalised to suit your current needs and goals. Additional sessions are charged at a cost of £60 per hour. All my training has been undertaken with Traumatic Birth Recovery.
Step 1: Release
Very often, after a difficult experience, you may feel the desire to talk about what happened. What you experienced cannot be changed, but it can be acknowledged and gently worked through in a way that supports you to understand what happened and why you feel the way you feel. Lets talk. I will give you all the space you need to say as much or as little as you like about your experience.
The first step to emotional wellness is to share your story, supporting you to understand what happened, how it effects your life and looking to the future.
​
Going forward, we can create a plan for your upcoming birth if you are pregnant again and if you aren't, then a plan to support you in continuing to heal.
Reflections Session: £90 for up to 1.5 hours of personalised support
*This session can be offered as a stand alone or is the first session of all continued support booked*
Step 2: Reframe
In order to process a traumatic or difficult event, a technique called Rewind can be used. This technique allows you to stand down your natural response to trauma and remove the emotional load that comes with a traumatic event. You will still remember the event, nothing can take that away, but you will no longer feel the physical and psychological effects that you may carry so heavily and affect your day to day life. Together, we will work on neutralising your automatic response to stress and fear, through using deep relaxation and visualisation, supporting you to heal in a gentle, but effective way.
Rewind is not an alternative to seeking medical support or taking medication for your mental health. Both can be done alongside using rewind. Rewind is a therapeutic technique based on Neurolinguistic Programming.
Step 3: Relax
During our third session together, we will discuss how you are feeling after the rewind process (if it has been used) and consider any challenges that you are continuing to face. This time is yours to be used in a way which feels productive to you - we will put together your personalised mental health toolbox which will be filled with techniques for managing emotional dysregulation, grounding during times of stress and self compassion. It is also an opportunity to produce trauma informed pregnancy, birth and postnatal plans for current or future maternity experiences.
