Counselling for New Parents
Becoming a parent is one of life’s biggest transitions—and while it’s often portrayed as joyful and fulfilling, it can also feel disorienting, exhausting, and overwhelming.
Parenthood is a major life change—and it’s okay to need support.
If you’re feeling emotionally stretched, disconnected from your partner, or unsure of who you are in this new role, you’re not alone. Counselling can offer a space for new parents to process the emotional, relational, and identity changes that often come with early parenthood.
Common reasons new parents seek therapy:
- You’re feeling anxious, irritable or emotionally drained
- You and your partner are experiencing more tension or conflict
- You’re grieving the loss of your previous identity or freedom
- You’re struggling with the demands, expectations, and mental load of parenting
- You’re feeling uncertain or conflicted about how to parent
In our work, you’ll have space to:
- Slow down and make sense of your emotional experience
- Untangle patterns that may have been passed down through your family
- Parent with more clarity and intention, based on your own values—not just outside expectations
- Strengthen your relationship, even in the midst of change
If you’re adjusting to parenthood and want to feel more grounded, I invite you to book a free consultation to see if counselling could help.
