Birth & Perinatal Debriefs

Your Story Matters

Becoming a mother is one of the most transformative experiences that a woman will go through, and no matter how your journey unfolds, the memories of your pregnancy, birth and postpartum will stay with you always. 

Through debriefing, you can process your birth more fully, make sense of your experience and find ways to move forward.

1 in 3 women in Australia experience birth trauma. So if this was your experience of birth, you are not alone and you do not have to navigate recovering from a traumatic birth alone. 

Additionally, up to 1 in 5 women experience anxiety and/or depression during pregnancy, and/or following birth.

Mums need more support. And I'm honoured to be able to provide that to you through debriefing and counselling.

In these sessions we can talk about your conception journey, pregnancy, birth or postpartum period.

There are no rules about how the conversation can look - it's whatever feels important to you.

Things we can cover in your session:

Women and their partners choose to have debriefing for many different reasons - there are no rules - but here are some common reasons that might resonate:

  • You want a safe space to reflect on, make sense of or process your experiences. 
  • The challenges you've faced across pregnancy, birth or postpartum are negatively impacting your experience of being a mum or bonding with your child.
  • You have ongoing memories of your pregnancy, birth or postnatal period that you find upsetting.
  • You have unresolved feelings including sadness, anxiety, disappointment and grief.
  • During your journey into motherhood, you had experiences where you felt undervalued, not listened to or disrespected.
  • You are pregnant or planning for another baby, and past challenges are impacting on this.
  • You would like support you plan your next pregnancy, birth or postpartum recovery.
  • You would like to develop strategies and tools to cope and move forward.
  • You want to acknowledge and honour your story with someone who understands the complexity of motherhood and the perinatal experience.

Hi, I'm Bec.

 
Just incase we haven't met yet, I'm Bec. I am a wife, a mother of one and a country girl living in rural Victoria, Australia.

I am a Registered Nurse & Credentialled Mental Health Nurse with over a decade of experience, and have spent my career supporting mums with their emotional health and parenting.

I'm deeply passionate about allowing mums to be seen and heard - and believe that when mum is looked after then the whole family thrives.

What will the session be like?

Sessions are offered online via secure video call, meaning that no matter where you are in Australia you can connect with me from the comfort of your own home.

I invite you to come as you are to your sessions with me. I don't mind if you are wearing pajamas, lying in bed or feeding your baby while we chat. This session is about you putting your needs first and finding a way to get support that fits into your busy life.

I draw on a decade of experience in perinatal mental health in my work with you, and use a blend of non-directive counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) approaches.
