Many parents quietly carry the belief that they should cope.
That others had it worse.
That they should be grateful and just get on with it.

But needing support doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It means something was hard — and it stayed with you.

You’re allowed to seek care even if you’re functioning, loving your child, and getting through the days.

We currently offer funded, trauma-informed emotional support for parents, free at the point of delivery. If you’d like to explore support, you’re welcome to get in touch via the links in our bio.

When trauma responses are supported early, parents are less likely to experience longer-term anxiety, depression, or burnout.

This isn’t about labelling.
It’s about care, prevention, and restoring a sense of safety.

Funded support is available at no cost. Parents can book a call or complete the enquiry form via the bio.

Being listened to — without being rushed or judged — can be deeply relieving.
Parents deserve care that meets them where they are.

So many parents tell themselves they have to hold it together.
For their baby.
For their family.
For everyone else.

But strength doesn’t mean pushing through endlessly or pretending something didn’t affect you.
Sometimes strength looks like noticing you’re tired.
Or acknowledging that something still feels unresolved.

You’re allowed to soften.
You’re allowed to need support.
And you’re allowed to take things at your own pace.

You can love your baby deeply and still feel shaken by what you went through.
Gratitude and trauma can exist side by side.

Many parents minimise their experience because “others had it worse.”
That doesn’t change how the body and mind respond.

Your experience matters — exactly as it is.

Thanks to current funding, our support is free at the point of delivery. Parents are welcome to book a call or complete the enquiry form via the bio.

Many parents tell us they didn’t know how much their experience had affected them — until they felt heard without judgement.

Feeling safe is often the first step toward feeling steadier.

Our support is fully funded, meaning there is no cost to access sessions. If this feels like something you might benefit from, you’re welcome to reach out via the links in our bio.

After a frightening or overwhelming experience, the body can stay in a state of alert.
This might show up as anxiety, irritability, exhaustion, or feeling unable to fully relax — even long after the event.

These are not flaws.
They are protective responses.

Support can help the body learn that it’s safe again.

Funded support is currently available, so sessions are free to access. If you’d like to explore support, our contact links are in the bio.

Healing isn’t linear.
Feeling okay one day and overwhelmed the next doesn’t mean you’re going backwards.

It means you’re human — and carrying a lot.

Support can help smooth the ups and downs.

Change doesn’t always look dramatic.
Sometimes it looks like steadier sleep, fewer intrusive thoughts, or feeling more grounded day to day.

Those shifts matter.
