Mindful Roots Counselling and Psychotherapy Currently offering Online Video Appointments Through this work I discovered a deep passion and a recognition of the need for specialized support.

Chartered Psychologist and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist Providing Specialized Counselling Support for Women and Families Navigating Fertility, IVF, pregnancy, Loss and the Postnatal Period. Rebecca Reddin, Chartered Psychologist and Perinatal Specialist

My journey began with my Masters in Psychology focused on Family Systems from CalSouthern University in the United States in 2017

where I became triple licensed as a Mental Health Counsellor, Marriage and Family Therapist and Addictions Counsellor. I worked as a Student Counsellor with Western Washington University as well as providing counselling support to pregnant and postnatal women. I completed my Perinatal Specialist certification with Perinatal Support Washington in 2019 and worked in private practice in Bellingham Washington, specializing in supporting this tender life transition until 2021. I now live in the beautiful Kinsale area and a Chartered Psychologist with the Psychological Society of Ireland. I am passionate about supporting women and families who are navigating the challenges of infertility, IVF, infant loss, pregnancy, postpartum and parenthood; utilizing CBT, Narrative and Family Systems therapeutic techniques; as well as Lifespan Integration to address Trauma. If it feels harder than it should, I welcome you to schedule a free consultation to discuss how I can help. Signs you may want to speak with a Perinatal Specialist include:

Persistent sadness or worry
Fear about your safety or the safety of your baby
Daily negative thoughts about yourself
Feeling hopeless
Not enjoying activities you feel you should
Poor self care (eating, sleeping, support)
Feeling overwhelmed
Persistant fatigue
Doubts about your ability to be a mother
Impact of IVF or challenges with fertility
Feeling like it "shouldn't be this hard"
Pregnancy Loss and Grief
Not feeling good enough
Intense or traumatic birth experience
Because you feel like you need someone to speak to who will understand

You are not alone and it does not have to be this hard, please contact me for a free 15 minute consultation to see if I am a good fit for you.

Gaby Beaujeu, IACP accredited Psychotherapist and Perinatal Specialist

Gaby Beaujeu is a perinatal mental health psychotherapist and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C). She works with individuals and couples as they navigate the ups and downs of the perinatal period—from fertility and pregnancy through to the postpartum months and beyond. Her approach makes space for both the normal challenges of this transition and the more difficult experiences, including anxiety, low mood, trauma, and changes in identity.

Gaby is a member of The Marcé Society for Perinatal Mental Health and the Action on Postpartum Psychosis network, and works as a peer mentor with Postpartum Support International. She is also a yoga teacher (RYT-200), and values the role of the mind–body connection in supporting wellbeing.

Her approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. She believes that while this stage of life can feel messy at times, it’s not something anyone should have to go through on their own.

The extreme lack of accessible information about the challenges women and families face on their journey to parenthood is the biggest reason I wanted to start posting here. I really want to get this information out there.

Did you know that everything listed in the post can be signs of PMADs (Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders)? They are also all treatable and you can feel like yourself again with effective support and care. If you are experiencing any of these challenges, give yourself the gift of support.

We are now taking clients for our waiting list for our new Therapist, Gaby Beaujeu. Visit our website for more information.

It's Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month 💙

1 in 5 new mothers will experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder. Yet so many suffer in silence, convinced that what they're feeling means something is wrong with them as a parent.

It doesn't.

PMADs — perinatal mood and anxiety disorders — are medical conditions. They are not character flaws, signs of weakness, or proof that you aren't cut out for this.

🧠 Some signs that you might need more support right now:

— Feeling detached from your baby or yourself
— Persistent anxiety or intrusive thoughts
— Rage that feels out of proportion
— Difficulty sleeping even when baby sleeps
— Feeling like you've "lost yourself"

Any of these feel familiar? Reaching out is a sign of strength, not failure.

It's Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month 💙

And we're going to spend this May talking about something that doesn't get nearly enough airtime: the emotional and psychological experience of becoming a parent.

Not just the joy. Not just the milestones. But the hard stuff too — the anxiety, the identity shifts, the moments where you wonder "why doesn't this feel how I thought it would?"

1 in 5 new mothers will experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder. Yet so many suffer in silence, convinced that what they're feeling means something is wrong with them as a parent.

It doesn't.

PMADs — perinatal mood and anxiety disorders — are medical conditions. They are not character flaws, signs of weakness, or proof that you aren't cut out for this.

Whether you had a baby last week or five years ago — whether you're pregnant, trying, grieving a loss, or somewhere in between — your mental health matters.

Not just so you can be a "better parent." Because you matter. Full stop.

Let's talk about a myth that keeps too many parents from getting support. 👇

❌ Myth: "If I'm struggling, it means I don't love my baby enough."

✅ Reality: Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are medical conditions — not a reflection of your love, your character, or your ability to parent.

Up to 1 in 5 birthing parents experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder. These are among the most common complications of pregnancy and the postpartum period — and they are treatable.

You can love your baby deeply and be struggling. Both are true at the same time. 💛
If something doesn't feel right, please reach out. You deserve support.

Supporting your mental health in the perinatal period doesn't have to mean grand gestures. 🌿

Sometimes it's the smallest, most consistent things that make the biggest difference.
Here are 5 micro-moments of self-care for new parents:

Step outside — even 5 minutes of fresh air can shift your nervous system
Say it out loud — tell one safe person how you're really doing today
Rest without guilt — sleep deprivation is real and it affects everything
Eat something nourishing — your body is working hard, fuel it kindly
Notice one good thing — even on the hardest days, one small thing counts

You matter too. Not just as a parent — as a person. 💛
💬 Which of these feels most doable for you right now?

The transition to parenthood is one of the most significant identity shifts you'll ever experience. 🌿

It's not just about learning how to care for a baby — it's about discovering who you are as a parent, as a partner, and as yourself.

"Matrescence" — the psychological and emotional transformation into becoming a mother — is real, and it deserves to be talked about more.

Here's what matrescence can look like:
🔹 Feeling like you don't recognise yourself anymore
🔹 Grieving your old identity, even while loving your new one
🔹 Shifting values, relationships, and sense of purpose
🔹 Emotional highs and lows that catch you off guard

This isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's a sign that something profound is happening within you.

Be patient with yourself. This transformation takes time. 🌿
