Postpartum Depression
Vicky Mould
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited Professional Registrant (PNCPS Acc.)
Are you a new Mum or Dad and concerned about or struggling with postnatal depression? I've received training in PND, and I can offer a safe, accepting and supportive environment - where you can talk openly without being shamed, judged or criticised. We can work at your pace to explore your thoughts, how you are feeling and coping, relationship issues or concerns, and any increasing anxieties about your baby. Working together can relieve that sense of overwhelm, guilt or fear and help you work towards enjoying parenthood and being the parent you'd like to be. If you'd like to explore postnatal depression counselling, please get in touch with me to arrange a low-cost consultation.

How Therapy Helps Creating a Safe Space to Be Honest -
One of the most valuable aspects of therapy is having a confidential, judgment-free space to express how you're really feeling. Many new parents feel they can't admit they're struggling because of guilt or shame. A therapist understands that postpartum depression is a medical condition, not a choice, and won't judge you for your feelings.
Breaking the Isolation
PPD can make you feel incredibly alone, like you're the only one who isn't coping. Therapy helps you understand that what you're experiencing is common and treatable. Your therapist can normalize your struggles while also helping you work through them.
Addressing Negative Thoughts
PPD often comes with harsh self-criticism and distorted thinking—"I'm a terrible mother," "My baby would be better off without me," or "I've made a huge mistake." Therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) help you recognize and challenge these unhelpful thought patterns, replacing them with more balanced, compassionate perspectives.
Processing Birth Trauma
Sometimes PPD is connected to a traumatic birth experience. If your labor was frightening, you felt out of control, or you had medical complications, therapies like EMDR can help process these traumatic memories so they're less emotionally overwhelming.
Developing Coping Strategies
Your therapist can teach you practical tools for managing anxiety, improving sleep hygiene (as much as possible with a newborn!), setting boundaries, and asking for help. They can also help you create realistic expectations for yourself during this demanding time.
Working Through Identity Changes
Becoming a parent fundamentally shifts your identity, and that adjustment can be harder than expected. Therapy provides space to grieve your pre-baby life while also finding meaning and connection in your new role. You can explore feelings about losing independence, career changes, relationship shifts, and body image concerns.
Strengthening the Parent-Baby Bond
Some therapeutic approaches include guidance on connecting with your baby, even when PPD makes bonding feel difficult. This might involve gentle exercises that help you tune into your baby's cues and build confidence in your parenting abilities.
Addressing Underlying Issues
Sometimes PPD brings up or intensifies existing mental health challenges, past trauma, or relationship problems. Therapy provides an opportunity to address these deeper issues in a supportive environment.

Postpartum Depression
Dr George Booty. The PsychoTRAUMA Clinic (Convergence College of Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist, Dr, DPsych, MA Couns, MA Psych, PG Dip Spvn
I believe postpartum depression is still depression and can still be worked with in the usual way but not how the usual blurb and old fashioned thinking is programmed to do. Like usual depression long or short term it is not a disease it is a process that has been ambushed.

Brighter Day Counseling Services
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Ed.D, LPC, LMFT
I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to process the emotional and physical changes that accompany the postpartum period. Using evidence-based approaches, we work to stabilize mood, reduce anxiety, strengthen coping skills, and rebuild a sense of confidence and connection. When appropriate, I collaborate with medical providers to ensure comprehensive care.
Seeking support is a sign of strength, not failure. With the right guidance and understanding, healing is possible—and parents can move toward feeling more balanced, supported, and connected during this important life transition.
