Psychological support

Motherhood

Becoming a mother changes everything: your emotions, your body, your mind, your relationships, your sense of who you are. It is a path that deserves support.

Specialised psychological support

A space for you, in a time of great change

Motherhood transforms. It transforms your body, your identity, your relationships, the way you exist in the world. It is a process that asks for a complete reorganisation, and it doesn’t always happen smoothly or in a straight line.

I offer you a specialised psychological space while you are trying to conceive, and through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum. My goal is to care for your mental and emotional health at a time when the focus is often placed elsewhere.

It’s not about being a perfect mother. It’s about being able to live this process with presence, with support and without judgement.

I can support you with

Trying to conceive
Fears, anxiety and ambivalence during pregnancy
Emotional preparation for birth
Postpartum adjustment and the first months
Changes in identity and sense of self
Guilt, self-criticism and social pressure
Difficulties in bonding and the relationship with your baby
Changes in your relationship and your closest bonds

What fits in this space

The emotions that live in motherhood

Every emotion has its place. There are no good or bad emotions — only experiences that need to be heard, named and held.

Fear

Guilt

Trust

Tenderness

Empathy

Mother

Baby

Key concept

The Dyad

The dyad is the emotional, relational and regulatory unit formed by the baby and their primary caregiver. Mother and baby are an interdependent system: what happens to one resonates in the other.

Caring for the mother is caring for the baby. Caring for the bond is caring for development. Supporting the maternal transition protects this first relationship.

How we work together

What the sessions are like

A structured space, always adapted to you and to where you are.

First session

Assessment and connection

In our first meeting, we explore together:

How you are experiencing trying to conceive, pregnancy or the postpartum
Your emotional state: anxiety, fears, sadness, irritability
Personal history and previous experiences
Your support network: partner, family, the people around you
Your expectations and concerns about motherhood

What matters most is creating a space of trust, without judgement.

During pregnancy

Sessions can focus on

Fears around birth
Health-related anxiety
Body changes and identity shifts
Prenatal bonding with your baby
Emotional preparation for birth
High-risk pregnancy, or pregnancy after a loss
Fertility treatment or assisted reproduction

In the postpartum

The focus will be on

Baby blues or postpartum depression
Guilt, self-criticism or the feeling of not coping
Changes in the relationship
Breastfeeding from an emotional perspective
Adjusting to the new maternal identity
Bonding and connection with your baby

Here it is the real experience of motherhood that counts, not the idealised version.

Tools we use

Emotional regulation techniques

Practical strategies to identify, understand and soothe intense emotions during pregnancy and the postpartum period, helping you regain calm and balance.

Psychoeducation

Clear, evidence-based information about what happens emotionally in motherhood, so you can understand what you feel and stop blaming yourself for it.

Visualisations

Guided imagery exercises to reduce anxiety, prepare for birth and connect with your body and your baby in a calm, safe way.

Working with beliefs and expectations

We gently explore the demands and ideals around ‘good motherhood’ to release guilt and build a more realistic, compassionate experience.

Emotional birth plan

Beyond the clinical plan, we prepare how you want to feel and be supported during birth, so you arrive with more confidence and fewer fears.

If you feel you need this space, I’m here

You don’t need a diagnosis or to be in crisis. Simply wanting support through this is enough.
