When motherhood feels heavier than you expected.
Postpartum therapy offers a safe space to share your struggles and find the relief, calm, and confidence you deserve.
You are not the only one feeling this way.
Pregnancy and new motherhood are often described as joyful, magical, and fulfilling. And while that may be true for some, it isn’t the whole story.
For many women, this season is also filled with exhaustion, self-doubt, and moments of overwhelming anxiety. You may be grieving the loss of your “old self,” feeling pressure to do everything perfectly, or wondering why this stage doesn’t look like it does for everyone else.
If you’ve ever thought…
I should feel happier than this.
Why am I so anxious all the time?
I love my baby, but I feel lost.
I don’t recognise myself anymore.
… please know: you are not broken, and you are not alone.
Common Struggles in Pregnancy & Postpartum
It’s normal to feel:
Anxiety or constant worry (about your baby, your health, your future).
Overwhelm and fatigue that don’t go away with rest.
Mood swings, sadness, or crying more than you expected.
Guilt or shame for not feeling the way you thought you “should.”
Disconnection from your partner, family, or even your baby.
Pressure to “do it all” and keep it all together.
These feelings are common. But they don’t have to define your motherhood journey.
Why Talking Helps
When you’re carrying so much, it can feel like no one truly understands. That’s where postpartum therapy can make a difference. Speaking with a professional offers you:
A safe, non-judgmental space to share what you’re going through.
Gentle guidance and tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions.
Reassurance that what you’re feeling is valid, normal, and treatable.
Support in building resilience, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.
