Maternal mental health
Specialist Occupational Therapy support for mothers
I have a specialist interest in maternal mental health and over 8 years of experience supporting mothers through the challenges of anxiety, low mood, OCD, ADHD, psychosis and bonding difficulties. I understand the profound impact that exhaustion, sleep loss and the transition to parenthood can have on wellbeing — and I work with you, gently and collaboratively, to rebuild confidence and routine.
A gentle, collaborative approach
The transition to parenthood can be one of the most demanding times in a person's life. My approach is gentle, collaborative and practical — helping you rebuild confidence and routines at your own pace, in your own home or in local community settings.
Who I work with
- Mothers experiencing perinatal anxiety or low mood
- Mothers struggling with bonding or relationship difficulties
- Parents managing OCD, ADHD or psychosis alongside parenthood
- Women navigating pregnancy-related physical health challenges
- Mothers in postnatal recovery from chronic pain or fatigue
