November 25, 2022

At Reflection Psychology,  we provide postnatal depression counselling in Melbourne that help mothers and fathers understand their emotions, thoughts and feelings. Our experienced and caring psychologists equip people with vital tools and strategies to cope with the many challenges of parenthood.

Having a baby is one of the most amazing things that can happen to a woman, but it can also be one of the most difficult. If your joy in motherhood is overshadowed by depression, services offered by our Melbourne psychologists can make a real difference.

Postnatal depression is a form of depression that can occur after having a baby. It affects up to one in five new mums and can severely impact their mental health. It can also impact dads too, with up to one in 10 dads burdened by the debilitating condition. But with the right help and support, most people can make a full recovery.

We provide valuable support and guidance in a safe space, with our postnatal depression counselling in Melbourne helping clients to find a positive path forward. Counselling can also help to improve your relationship with your partner and your baby. The benefits can be life-changing.

Experienced and caring counsellors

While this form of depression is most common in the first few weeks after delivery, it can strike any time in the year post-birth. Symptoms include feelings of sadness, anxiety, worthlessness and hopelessness. Many women experience changes in sleep and appetite and difficulties bonding with their babies.

So don’t struggle alone. Reach out to Reflection Psychology. Talking to a caring, experienced and impartial counsellor can be extremely helpful. There’s no judgment. It’s about helping you make sense of your experiences, overcome your confusion and feelings of isolation. And it’s about arming you with practical tools and strategies to build a happier, healthier future.
