Pregnancy
Dr Jenna Brough
Perinatal Clinical Psychologist
Pregnancy is an emotional time, filled with excitement but often also anxiety
I'm here to support you with the transformation from being an independent person to having new responsibilities for a little human (or more than one).
You may have had a difficult journey to becoming pregnant, you may be experiencing a difficult pregnancy, have fears about becoming a parent, or a fear of the birth itself. Perhaps you have had a previous birth experience that you found difficult or traumatic. In addition to individual therapy, there are several ways I can support you in relation to your well-being in pregnancy.
Consultation
I offer one-off consultations where I assess your emotional and psychological needs in order to provide advice and signposting to relevant resources and services. I have excellent knowledge and connections in relation to birth education, hypnobirthing, midwifery, and doula support. I may recommend psychological therapy and can support you with understanding how to access the most appropriate NHS services, or of course discuss my own availability for therapy.
Trauma Informed Birth Planning Guide
This guide provides an overview of common fears and anxieties in ‘pregnancy after trauma’, space for you to record your thoughts and feelings as you identify areas and specific needs relevant to you, and a blank template for you to bring these together to form your trauma informed birth plan.
