I work with parents adjusting to life after having a baby and I see and hear this so often:

Two people.

Two nervous systems.

Two different ways of experiencing intimacy.

Different doesn’t mean wrong. It just means being loving and patient, getting to know each other again in this new part of your lives.💛.

Planting a little seed of normality for physical intimacy 🌱.

After a baby, desire doesn’t always match up.

You might feel too exhausted, sore, or just “off” to want s*x or be intimate with your partner.

Your partner might be ready for closeness, and when you can’t meet them there, it can feel like rejection.

This mismatch is incredibly common. Around 80–85% of new parents notice changes in their libido and s*xual relationship in the first year.

It’s not because love is fading. It’s because your body, your hormones, your energy, and your identity are all shifting at once.

It’s a stage.
It’s common.
It’s temporary.

And it’s manageable when you understand what’s happening, communicate openly, and find ways to reconnect. Layers of intimacy include talking, trust, touch, hugs, or holding hands.

Preparing for a baby isn’t just about nappies and prams. It’s about preparing your relationship and your physical connection too.

If you’d like to explore these changes and transitions in more depth, I’ll be running a small workshop soon.

You can comment below with ‘𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑼𝒔’ or send me an email to be the first to hear about it💛.

𝘙𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱

Planting a little seed of normality for becoming a parent🌱.

We don't talk enough about this.

The first few months after having a baby can be beautiful… and also really hard and stressful.

Feeding struggles.
Settling struggles.
Money pressures.
Exhaustion like you’ve never known before.

And yes… arguing with your partner more than usual.

That doesn’t mean your relationship is failing. Or you are heading for a divorce.

In fact, did you know around 92% 𝙤𝙛 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧.

That’s not because they chose the wrong person. It’s because sleep deprivation, identity shifts, hormones, and the steepest learning curve of your life all hit at once.

It’s a stage.
It’s common.
And it’s manageable when you understand what’s happening and have the right tools.

Preparing for a baby isn’t just about nappies and prams. It’s about preparing your relationship too.

Does any of this resonate with you? I’d love to hear one thing you weren’t expecting in those first months.

More on this soon 💛

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about roses, romance or doing what everyone else does.

Sometimes it’s about being kinder to 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇.

𝑺𝒆𝒍𝒇-𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 can look like taking five minutes to rest, setting boundaries, asking for help, or simply getting through the day.

Pause.
Take one slow breath in.
Place a hand on your chest.
And let it out gently.

That’s enough for today.

Take care. Be kind to yourself. 💛

Ok ok… I know I’m often the first to say AI can be a bit of a slippery slope😅.

(And yes, people using it instead of therapy still genuinely worries me. That's for a whole other post!!!)

But this? This was just for a bit of fun to see what Chatty would come up with.

I jumped on the latest AI trend and asked Chatty to create a caricature of me in my workspace and it made me smile way more than I expected.

Tools aren’t the problem. Replacing human connection is. And there is no technology in the world that can ever replace the energy, the emotion, the response we get when we feel connected and truly understood by another person.

Sorry Chatty, I don't feel threatened by you..

Which one feels more “me” to you?

When most people think about therapy, they think “psychologist”, lying on a couch and talking about what they are feeling.

And while psychologists do incredible work, I really want you to know, they aren’t the only professionals trained to provide therapy.

As an 𝘼𝙘𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙧, I’ll be honest, I’m tired of hearing therapy reduced to “go see a psychologist”, as though that’s the only valid
option for support.

𝘼𝙘𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙧𝙨 are also Medicare-recognised mental health clinicians, with extensive training in therapy, trauma, and mental health. It was an excruciating accreditation process, let me tell you!!!

The difference isn’t about who is better.
It’s about approach, perspective, and fit.

Therapy works best when you feel safe, comfortable, understood, and supported.

Sometimes that connection is with a psychologist.

Sometimes it’s with an 𝘼𝙘𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙧 - like me.𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙧 - like me.

What matters most is finding someone who feels right
for you💛.

I’ve shared more about this on my website in the
journal section for anyone who wants a deeper
understanding.

If you’ve been unsure about starting therapy because
you didn’t know your options, I'm happy to have a chat
about my approach and how I work to see if I'm a good
fit for you.

🌻 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 (𝙮𝙚𝙨, 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮!)

If you’re curious about why your child does what they do, how to support their emotional world, and build a secure, connected relationship that actually works in day-to-day life, Circle of Security® Parenting programs are it. They’re evidence-based, attachment focused, and relationship centred (not behaviour-management).

I'm always recommending this course to my clients and feel it should be mandatory as soon as we become pregnant. The good news is I've found a few free options online this February through Tresillian and wanted to share👇.

Free online Circle of Security programs
Free 8-week online parenting course - relational, attachment-focused, and reflective for all parents.

Find more info here:

If you want an easy intro while you wait for these groups to start, the Circle of Security International website has great free resources and summaries about how the model works – including graphics and explanations of the “secure base” and “safe haven” parts of attachment.

𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙢𝙚✨:

I’ll be doing the Circle of Security facilitator training in March so I can bring this beautiful way of learning and growing into my own practice and offer group classes, but I won’t be able to offer it for free (sorry). Watch this space.

I truly believe you don’t have to fix parenting or our children, you get better at connection, understanding, and responding over time.

If you’re curious about opportunities like this in the future, feel free to DM me and I’ll keep you in the loop💛.

Well… I officially survived my first country music festival with my office right in the middle of it. Growing up here, I know what the festival brings but had no idea what I was in for working right in the middle of it🎶!!!

Between the doof doof doof from the park over the road, buskers and stalls at the front entrance, and streets blocked off everywhere, it was a vibe let me tell you.

Some clients braved the crowds and came in for face-to-face sessions.
Some opted for telehealth.
Some rescheduled.

All of it was completely okay🌻.

Support doesn’t have to look one particular way. What matters most is doing what feels safest and most supportive for you in that moment. I’m grateful to be able to offer flexibility through telehealth, especially on weeks like this.

And yes… it was a little noisy but not as bad I was expecting!

𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 during pregnancy or early parenting can feel frightening and deeply unsettling.

Thoughts you would never choose. Thoughts that don’t reflect who you are.

What many people don’t realise is that 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙣 for both parents, especially during times of exhaustion, hormonal change, or heightened responsibility.

Having these thoughts 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 mean you want to act on them.

It 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 mean you are a bad parent.

And it 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 mean something is wrong with you.

They are often a sign of a trauma experience and a nervous system under pressure, trying to protect what matters most. Your baby.

You are not crazy. You are not alone.

Sharing this in case someone needs to hear it today.

If intrusive thoughts are impacting your day-to-day life, pregnancy support counselling can help. You’re welcome to reach out💛
