Reproductive, Pregnancy, & Postpartum Counselling

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, sad and/or tearful?

Are you wondering if this is how motherhood is supposed to feel?

Are you and your partner experiencing difficulties in your relationship?

We provide counselling and emotional support to women and their partners through conception, pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. Through a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, you will be able to explore and resolve any personal distress and make sense of the feelings you are struggling with. From infertility to parenthood, the various obstacles and emotions can take a toll on our mental health, self-esteem, physical health, our relationships, and day to day functioning. Our approach will be tailored fit to meet your needs while focusing on encouragement through your current life transition, promoting self-care, teaching emotion regulation, and coping techniques.

As you navigate your way through various decisions, guilt, blame, regret and move towards acceptance and transition, we can help. Speaking with a skilled, gentle, compassionate counselor can help alleviate the strain on yourself and your relationship

Perinatal & Postpartum

1 in 6 women experience significant depression and/or anxiety in relation to pregnancy and childbirth, or after the birth or adoption of a baby. 1 in 10 men experience depression and/or anxiety following the birth or adoption of a baby. Unlike the “baby blues” which typically goes away after the first couple of weeks of having a baby, postpartum depression can last for months. Postpartum depression and anxiety can be a tremendously stressful time for a family. Onset of postpartum depression may be during pregnancy, shortly after the arrival of a new baby, or many months later.

It is often characterized by:

Emotional instability
Feelings of hopelessness
Difficulty concentrating
Loss of appetite
Anger
Guilt
Tearfulness
Worrying
Anxious and/or intrusive thoughts
Feelings of inadequacy
An inability to cope
Loss of pleasure in everyday things

The sooner you get treated for these symptoms, the sooner you’ll feel better, increase your attachment and enjoy your baby. It is important to know that you are not alone. Naushina is an experienced clinician and a trained counselor with the support model through the Pacific Post Partum Support Society, and will teach you tried and true skills and techniques to help alleviate some of your symptoms and move towards a healthier, happier lifestyle. Naushina will also provide you with information and resources to help you understand what is going on with you and your baby to help you make healthy and reconstructive choices.

Virtual Counselling (Online Therapy)

Family Counselling

Family counselling with a skilled, independent, third party can often provide an opportunity for all family members to be heard in a safe, non-threatening manner. Learning skills for family meetings, establishing family rules, and consistent follow through are invaluable for family success.

Through a systematic approach we help address family dynamics, explore the parent-child relationship, and the home environment to help your child overcome their challenges and build life skills to thrive emotionally,

Reproductive Counselling

ICBC

If you have been in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) and have an open claim with ICBC, you are likely eligible for counselling that would be covered through Part 7 (accident benefits) – regardless if you were the driver or the passenger.

Workshops for Couples

Workplace Wellness Workshops

Show your team that you value their mental health and self care by having a skilled, empathetic and experienced professional connect with your team. Workshop sizes can vary from small to big groups and from in-person to virtual.

Clinical Supervisor

Supervision is an important part of professional practice for credentialed therapists seeking ongoing development and support, as well as for credentialing therapists and students who may need supervision to complete their training.

Consultation

The most common factor in the effectiveness in therapy is not the education of the counsellor, or even the theories that they practice, rather it’s the relationship between the client and their counsellor.
