You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong or what you want to work on, we can begin wherever you are.
Perinatal & Pregnancy Counselling Support
Everyone’s experience is different, and there’s no single “right” reason to seek counselling. Support at Life Changes Tamworth is designed for women and non-birthing parents who are navigating emotional, mental, or relational challenges trying to conceive or during pregnancy, birth, or early parenthood.
You don’t need to be in crisis.
If something feels heavy, confusing, or hard to carry alone, this space is for you.
-
Counselling during pregnancy for anxiety, fear, emotional overwhelm, or uncertainty. This support can be especially helpful if pregnancy is bringing up past experiences, worries about birth, or feelings you didn’t expect to have.
-
Gentle, trauma-informed support for those navigating pregnancy after miscarriage, stillbirth, birth trauma, or other difficult experiences. Sessions focus on emotional safety, grounding, and supporting your nervous system as you move forward.
-
Support for grief in its many forms — including pregnancy loss, unmet expectations, identity changes, or other losses that may arise during pregnancy and parenthood. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and your experience deserves care and understanding.
-
Support for individuals and couples navigating fertility challenges, IVF, and assisted reproductive journeys. Counselling may help with processing grief, managing uncertainty, and coping with the emotional highs and lows that often accompany fertility treatment.
-
Counselling for women who experienced birth as frightening, overwhelming, or disempowering — even if others have described it as “normal.” This support helps you gently process what happened and reduce the emotional impact it may still hold.
-
Support during the transition into parenthood, including emotional overwhelm, anxiety, identity shifts, relationship changes, and feelings of disconnection or guilt. Counselling provides space to make sense of this major life change in a compassionate way.
Clinical Supervision for Therapists
Professional supervision for therapists seeking a supportive, reflective space to explore clinical work, professional growth, and personal wellbeing.
Supervision at Life Changes Tamworth is grounded in compassion, safety, and curiosity — not judgement or performance. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your experience level, context, and professional needs.
Supervision may support you with:
Reflecting on clinical work
Managing emotional load and burnout
Navigating ethical or professional challenges
Strengthening confidence and clarity in practice
Ongoing professional development
I am currently undertaking a Supervisor Development Program, supported by a scholarship, and continue to grow this aspect of my practice thoughtfully and ethically.
Becoming Us Classes
Preparing Emotionally for Parenthood
Becoming Us classes are designed to support couples as they prepare for the emotional and relational transition into parenthood - not just the practical aspects of caring for a baby.
While many antenatal classes focus on birth and newborn care, Becoming Us focuses on:
Understanding the emotional transition to parenthood
Exploring expectations and beliefs about parenting
Communication tools for times of stress and fatigue
Relationship changes after baby arrives
Sharing emotional load and support
Strengthening connection as a couple
Research shows that relationship satisfaction commonly dips after the arrival of a baby. Not because couples are failing, but because the transition is profound and often underestimated. Becoming Us classes aim to support couples before those challenges arise.
Classes are delivered in a safe, supportive environment and are suitable for couples at any stage of pregnancy.
