Counselling and Assessment Services
Counselling and Assessments are a vital component of our perinatal wellness services.
Our counselling services offer a safe and supportive space for expectant and new parents to express their feelings, navigate challenges, and develop strategies to maintain their mental and emotional health. In addition to counselling, our assessment services are designed to identify and address potential challenges early on. Through comprehensive evaluations, we can tailor our services to meet the specific needs of each family.
Our therapists are trained in perinatal mental health and understand the unique experiences of this life stage. They provide compassionate guidance and support, throughout each stage of the perinatal journey.

Grief & Loss
When dreams of holding your baby dissolve into heartbreaking loss, we wrap you in gentle, unwavering support. Our therapists create a sacred space where you can honor your grief in all its forms – from the quiet tears to the storms of anger, from the weight of guilt to the echoes of what might have been. We understand that the loss of a baby leaves an invisible mark on your heart that others may not see but that you feel deeply. You don’t have to carry this burden alone or put on a brave face before you’re ready. We’re here to walk beside you through the darkness, helping you find your way forward at your own pace, while always honouring the profound love and connection you feel for your little one. Because your baby’s story, however brief, matters – and so does your journey through grief.
