Come say hi to our wonderful Parent Infant Psychotherapist Sylvie 👋🏼.

We understand there is this perception of motherhood which paints a picture of instant love, connection and joy. However the reality for many mothers is the opposite of this, for many reasons (all of which are valid) mothers may not feel this rush of love and connection for their babies, they may feel regret or like they don’t enjoy motherhood.

Keeping both mother & baby in mind the parent infant psychotherapy role can explore this in depth and support you through this, ensuring you are give a safe space to be honest about this relationship.
