Perinatal & Reproductive Mental Health Support for Internationals in the Netherlands & across Europe
The journey toward, through, and beyond pregnancy is one of the most profound transformations a person can experience. But it is rarely a simple path. For many, it is a time of immense physical and emotional shift, especially when you are navigating it abroad, away from your home country and your original support network.
A Safe Space to Honour and Support You
-
Prenatal Support & The "Unrooted" Pregnancy: Navigating the emotional landscape of pregnancy while abroad, addressing the anxieties of childbirth, the uncertainty of a foreign healthcare system, and the "unrooted" feeling of preparing for a new life away from home.
-
The Identity Shift: Processing the changes in your body, your social circle, your sense of self and finding your way to the new "You". We work through the "both/and" experience of motherhood, and the overwhelming change as you adapt to life with a little one.
-
Birth & Reproductive Trauma: A space to process difficult and traumatic birth experiences, reproductive challenges, or the emotional complexities of the postnatal period.
-
Postpartum Adjustment & Well-being: Compassionate support for you during the postnatal period, and the strain a new baby can place on your relationships.
-
Pregnancy Loss, Grief & Bereavement Counselling: Creating space for the heavy parts of the journey, including pregnancy loss.
