Perinatal 

The term “perinatal” refers to the period surrounding pregnancy, from preparation to conceive to the weeks and months after birth. 

I work alongside a dedicated and compassionate team of paediatricians, psychiatrists and general practitioners to support mothers, fathers and families at this unique stage of life.

Our team is commited to providing sensitive and accurate information and care to enable families to strengthen their relationships, enhance well-being, and make a smooth transition to parenthood.

Main Areas of Concern

I often support expectant and new parents to: 

• Manage fears and concerns surrounding pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood

• Treat antenatal or postnatal mood disturbance, such as depression or anxiety 

• Cope with changes in body image and appearance related to pregnancy

• Work through changes in the couple relationship 

• Build a positive parent-infant attachment relationship

• Foster healthy infant and toddler development
