Perinatal mental health support in Liverpool

Pregnancy, birth, and becoming a parent bring huge life changes. Along with joy and excitement, it is common to feel worry, stress, or uncertainty. Asking for support is a sign of strength and a positive step towards wellbeing.

Why support matters

Taking care of your mental health during pregnancy and after birth is just as important as your physical health. Our tailored support helps you feel heard, understood, and empowered to face challenges with confidence. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, low mood, or just need someone to talk to, we are here to support you every step of the way. Reach out today and give yourself the care you deserve.

What we offer

One to one counselling sessions, face to face, by telephone, or video, with BACP Registered therapeutic counsellor and perinatal mental health Midwife Anna. You can request an initial call to discover if counselling will be beneficial for you.

Individual Therapy & 7-Session Framework: For more in-depth therapy, or to enrol into a structured 7-session Navigating Parenthood framework, please reach out to BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, Ummayah.

Whether you are looking for open-ended support or a focused roadmap, Ummayah provides a dedicated space to navigate the profound transitions of pregnancy and early parenthood. She is here to help you find clarity and grounding, whether you are managing perinatal anxieties, processing a birth experience that didn’t go as planned, or navigating the complex identity shifts of becoming a parent.

Phase 1: Assessment & Foundation (Sessions 1–2) Begin by exploring your history and current transition. This phase is dedicated to building a supportive relationship, identifying the core patterns or anxieties you are navigating, and defining the primary goals for our time together. The pace is always tailored to your needs.
Phase 2: Deep Work & Integration (Sessions 3–5) This is the heart of the work. Actively unpack the identity shifts, relationship dynamics, or reproductive anxieties you are facing. Through a collaborative approach, Ummayah will help you develop tailored emotional regulation tools and explore the ‘why’ behind your current challenges.
Phase 3: Review, Reflection & Future Autonomy (Sessions 6–7) Final sessions, review your progress, reflect on the psychological shifts you have navigated, and consolidate the tools you have acquired. Focus is on establishing long-term autonomy, ensuring you feel confident and capable in managing your emotional landscape as you move forward.
