Perinatal Mental Health

at Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology

The transition to parenthood is a time of significant change, often filled with joy, growth and new challenges. At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology, we provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health support for individuals and families throughout the perinatal period, including pregnancy, early parenting, infertility, birth trauma and pregnancy loss.

Everyone experiences the perinatal period differently. Some may feel anxious or experience a low mood, while others navigate changes in relationships, or the demands of early parenthood. Challenges such as perinatal anxiety, postnatal depression, or distress following fertility treatment or pregnancy loss are more common than many people realise.

Therapy can provide a supportive, non-judgemental space to reflect, process emotions and develop tools that strengthen wellbeing, connection and confidence. With the right guidance, it is possible to feel more grounded, supported and empowered in your parenting journey.

At Evolving Minds Counselling, our experienced clinicians tailor support to your individual needs. Sessions may focus on managing mood or anxiety, processing a difficult birth experience, building, or deepening the connection with your baby or partner. We also work with individuals and couples navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, or early parenting stress with care and understanding.

We incorporate evidence-based parenting and attachment programs to support secure and connected relationships, including:

Circle of Security Parenting
Marte Meo
Tuning into Kids
Bringing Up Great Kids
Emotion Coaching Parenting

Where appropriate, we may recommend additional supports such as Family Counselling.

You don’t have to navigate this time alone. Whether you’re preparing for parenthood, adjusting to life with a new baby, or seeking support after loss or fertility challenges, we’re here to help.
