Common reasons for seeking therapy and support when going through pregnancy
Pregnancy is a significant transition, and many women face emotional and psychological challenges as they prepare for motherhood. Some common reasons for seeking the support of a pregnancy psychologist include:
Pregnancy Concerns: It’s common to experience pregnancy-related issues such as anxiety, stress, and fear about childbirth or parenting. Our psychologists help you address these concerns and develop strategies to manage them.
Relationship Difficulties: Pregnancy can put a strain on relationships, leading to conflicts with partners or family members. Counselling can help resolve relationship concerns and strengthen bonds during this transitional phase.
Perinatal Mental Health Issues: Conditions such as perinatal anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders are prevalent during pregnancy. Early intervention and therapy can help manage these issues effectively, ensuring a healthier emotional experience during the perinatal period.
Life Changes and Adjustments: For many women, pregnancy brings significant changes in living arrangements, childcare arrangements, and overall lifestyle. Our psychologists help you develop strategies to cope with these changes and feel more prepared for your new role.
Stress and Anxiety: Whether you’re dealing with stress at work, concerns about becoming a new parent, or general anxiety about pregnancy, our psychologists provide stress management and emotional support to help you feel more grounded.
Parenting Skills: For first-time parents, pregnancy can bring up concerns about parenting skills and how to navigate life with a newborn. Our team helps parents develop confidence and knowledge as they prepare for the challenges of parenthood.

It was this reason I started using their consulting services to address some health issues I was experiencing, realising what they were describing was how I was feeling too. The service, compassion and knowledge they have is excellent and I’m so glad I have connected with Mothers Clinic to understand my postpartum journey and get the support I needed to resolve my health problems."
