Birth Trauma Support

Birth Trauma can be debilitating and is quite often overwhelming. Birth trauma can range from something terrible occurring with a poor outcome to you feeling unsafe, scared and out of control with a positive outcome. It isn’t always something needing to have happened during your labour or birth that resulted in a negative outcome physically for either yourself or your baby. In fact sometimes this is when you may notice the symptoms more intensely as all is well in your world now and you cannot understand why you are feeling constantly anxious and find yourself ruminating over your birth.

What is birth trauma?

Birth trauma is a result of you feeling out of control and not understanding what was happening and why, during your labour and birth.

Whilst you and your baby are now safe, it can be difficult to understand why you are feeling the way you do.

What causes birth trauma?

  • Needing medical intervention

  • Not being listened to

  • Not receiving enough pain relief

  • Pain and physical stress

  • Emotional stress and worries

  • Being unprepared for different birth outcomes that were not part of your birth plan

How does birth trauma present itself?

  • Overriding anxiety

  • Low mood

  • Flashbacks

  • Panic attacks

  • Feeling guilty, angry or numb

  • Not wanting to talk about the events, or talking about it obsessively

I chose to specialise within this area after years of working in busy NHS hospitals and seeing and hearing things consistently throughout my career that shouldn’t have happened.

How can I support you?

Usually turning to family and friends is the answer but in these instances other peoples responses and comments really don’t help most of the time as they try to minimise what you have gone though and what you are subsequently now feeling with the classic “At least you and your baby are well” Or “Its happened now, time to move forward” which only increases your anxiety and symptoms.

Talking these things through with a trained professional helps you to understand what happened and why which is imperative for your brain to be able to process the information, settle down and ultimately heal.

Monthly Healing Support Package

For women processing birth trauma, emotional overwhelm, or seeking deep, steady support.

This is more than just a couple of sessions—this is a safe space held month to month, where you’re truly seen, supported, and gently guided back to your own power and peace.

Whether you're navigating the aftershocks of a difficult birth, feeling lost in motherhood, or simply needing a place to unravel and rebuild—you don’t have to do it alone.

What’s included each month:

  • 2 x 60-minute healing sessions (in-person or online)

  • Trauma-informed, somatic, gentle. These sessions are a space to process, be witnessed, and begin to release what’s weighing heavy.

  • 1 x mid-month check-in call or voice note exchange

  • A chance to touch base, recalibrate, and feel held in between sessions.

  • Compassionate message/voice note support (Mon–Fri). Reach out when something lands, unravels, or just feels big. I’ll respond within set hours with grounded, heart-led support.

  • Priority booking for any additional sessions
    If you feel you need extra space during the month, you’ll always be at the front of the queue.

Investment:

£180/month

There’s no long-term tie-in—just a monthly offering of care, connection and healing. You’re welcome to stay for as long (or as briefly) as you need.

This is for you if…

You’ve experienced a traumatic or overwhelming birth and don’t feel “over it”
You’re holding emotions you can’t quite name, but they feel heavy
You long for regular support that’s gentle, embodied, and emotionally safe
You’re ready to tend to your own healing, with someone walking beside you
