How Can a Psychologist Help During This Time?

A psychologist can provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space to talk about what you’re experiencing. Support may include help with anxiety, depression, stress, birth trauma, fertility challenges, grief and loss, or adjusting to parenthood. Psychologists can also support emotional regulation, coping strategies, identity changes, and strengthening the parent–infant relationship. Support can be tailored to your needs and offered in flexible formats, including telehealth sessions.
