Frequently Asked Questions

Birth reflection (also called Birth debrief) is for anyone who would like an opportunity to be heard and for questions to be answered impartially. It provides the opportunity to talk, to share feelings and to reflect on the individual experience. It can help to obtain a greater understanding of events and possibly why intervention was necessary. It is for anyone who is dealing with open questions regarding their pregnancy / birth experience - as these questions may also lead to fear of childbirth in the next pregnancy or contribute to other problems. The aim of this session is to help to find closure to enable you to move on. (1 session approx. 1-1,5 hours long) 

Birth Trauma resolution therapy (BTR) is for anyone who has experienced a traumatic event in pregnancy, birth or after birth and feels that this event or memory is still affecting their daily life. You may even have re-occurring symptoms such as nightmares, panic attacks, sleeping problem, flashback. (3-4 sessions each approx. 1 hour long) 

No,BTR therapy is not the same as counselling. BTR practitioners are midwives or other clinical practitioners who have undergone specialist training to deliver BTR therapy, which specifically provides support for women, birthing people, partners or anyone who have experienced birth trauma. If you have experienced trauma unrelated to your birth, have a

mental health condition, or are experiencing more complex issues, then we will discuss this and I can help with referring you on to alternative services to support you.
