Prenatal and perinatal counselling supports parents during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. It helps with emotional adjustment, stress, fertility challenges, and the transition to parenthood.
Prenatal and perinatal therapy helps expectant parents manage anxiety, mood changes, and relationship stress while preparing for birth and parenting. As both the human body and their relationship goes through expansion and growth, support is important and common during this time of change.
