Perinatal Counselling & Psychotherapy

Caring, empathic psychological and emotional support in Ottawa and virtually throughout Ontario, for Moms during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Perinatal counselling encompasses a range of therapeutic services aimed at supporting women through the mental health challenges associated with fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. This specialized counselling addresses a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, mood swings, and adjustment difficulties, which can emerge during this transformative phase. Tall Poppy Counselling also has specialized training in the areas of pregnancy and infant loss.

The goal of perinatal counselling is to provide a safe and supportive space for women to explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, and enhance their overall well-being. Support includes traditional, evidence-based talk therapy and also includes integrative approaches that consider systemic factors, as well as mind-body approaches to mental well-being.

Through personalized sessions, based on attachment-focused, cognitive behavioural and trauma-informed somatic approaches, Tall Poppy Counselling is committed to helping mothers to embrace their strengths, navigate challenges, and adapt to this new phase of life, during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
