What a psychologist does

Psychologists provide talking therapies for anxiety, depression, birth trauma, grief and the adjustment of becoming a parent. Perinatal psychologists work specifically with pregnancy, loss and the year after birth.

At any point, and there is no threshold you have to reach first. Perinatal anxiety and depression are common and treatable, and starting early usually means fewer sessions rather than more.
