Birth Trauma Resolution

Sometimes things don't go to plan.  Conceptions struggles, miscarriage, stillbirth and birth itself can all be causes of post traumatic stress.  

These experiences can cause behaviours that can easily be mislabelled as post natal depression.  If you are struggling with any event relating to your journey to become a parent you may benefit from this therapy.
