Even the strongest relationships are strained during the transition to parenthood. Lack of sleep, never-ending housework and financial concerns can lead to profound stress and a decline in marital satisfaction. Not surprisingly, research shows 69% of new parents experience conflict, disappointment and hurt feelings. Mums Matter offers a Relationship Counselling service to help you and your partner learn the strengths and challenges of your relationship, and to determine a plan.

Problem solving sessions are appropriate when you might like to access between 1 and 3 (maximum) individual sessions to explore a specific decision or gain some specific advice. This might include things like:

• Making a decision about a pregnancy

• Making a decision about having another child especially if you have experienced perinatal mental health issues with previous children

• Whether to seek psychiatric input or medication options

• Information and support around infant sleep and settling from a mental health perspective - both yours and your baby's

• Exploring your breastfeeding or feeding journey and/or a decision to change methods

• Discussing family dynamics and relationship issues

• Specific baby/toddler/child behavioural issues or your relationship with your child.

• Debriefing about your birth experience

• Planning for after you have your baby - emotional and practical support plan

All problem solving sessions are with our Director and Clinical Psychologist, Frances Bilbao
