Postpartum Counselling
If you are a parent reading this through overwhelm, tears, or during the only five quiet minutes of your day—you are finding the exact support that you need right now. We are here to help.
You might notice that you are:
Snapping at your partner and intense feelings of guilt.
Wondering why you feel disconnected from your baby .
Missing your “old self”, or noticing that you are not feeling as happy as you thought you would be after having baby.
Experiencing significant mood shifts .
Overloaded with guilt, but unable to explain what’s really wrong.
Motherhood and becoming a parent changes everything — your body, your relationships, your identity.
Almost half (49%) of Canadian mothers and birthing parents struggle with emotional or mental health challenges during pregnancy or postpartum. Additionally, a dedicated study found that 23% of mothers who recently give birth experience symptoms consistent with postpartum depression or an anxiety disorder. [Statistics Canada 2019 & 2026]
You don’t have to pretend. You deserve support and we are here to help you.
