Understanding modern parenthood from the inside out.

So much of getting ready for a baby is practical. Birth plans, bottles, prams, the endless lists. Almost none of it prepares you for the experience itself, for what becoming a parent actually feels like from the inside. And yet becoming a parent is one of the largest psychological and emotional shifts a person ever goes through. In the UK, almost nine in ten new parents say they have found it harder to manage their mental health since having a baby. Just under three quarters feel overwhelmed by the emotional reality of it. Almost half say they no longer recognise themselves.¹

Most support around new parents is aimed at the baby. Therapy for parenthood is different: fifty minutes a week that are about you. Two people can go through the exact same thing, a hard night, a first day back at work, a comment from their own mother, and be left feeling completely different things, because what parenthood brings up is particular to you. Therapy offers a space to explore, understand and integrate your experiences of becoming and being a parent, in the context of the rest of your life.
