Birth Trauma

Reframe difficult memories into healthier, happier ones.

I will continue to provide remote and online support for those seeking help following a difficult or traumatic birth experience.
 
While in-person care is no longer be available following my move out of London, you will still be able to access compassionate, individual support remotely with me, providing a safe space to talk through your experience and consider the support you may need going forward.

What is Birth Trauma?

Birth trauma, which is the common term for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is the emotional and psychological distress a mother experiences after childbirth. It can also include physical injury but is more often about the long term effects on emotional wellbeing and health.

I offer fast and effective treatment that works by helping you to reframe a trauma memory into one that is normal.

I will guide you through your birth trauma experience in the following ways:

  • Listening to your birth experience with empathy and kindness
  • Learning how to recognise the signs of birth trauma
  • Rebuilding your confidence in your family relationships and your parenting skills
  • Teaching you breathing techniques that will help you to relax and lessen feelings of anxiety and panic
  • Giving you a personalised guided relaxation to download
  • Helping you to release negative emotions associated with your birth experience, so that you can think about it without experiencing panic or fear

FAQs

Who can I help with birth trauma?

I have been trained as a BTR midwife. This allows me to support women who have experienced trauma during pregnancy, labour and birth. However, if there are other underlying psychological issues, I will discuss with you the requirement to seek treatment with a qualified a psychotherapist or psychiatrist.

How many sessions should you expect to have?

The number of sessions required are using 2 to 4, depending on your requirements.

An Important Update from Jenny

At the start of 2027, I’ll be moving away from London, which means there will be some changes to the way I’m able to support families.
 
I am now fully booked for the remainder of 2026 and am therefore unable to take on any new in-person clinical midwifery care, antenatal care or labour support.
 
I can continue to offer in-person postnatal care until Christmas 2026. After my move, I will no longer be providing in-person care in London.
 

The good news is that I will continue to offer online and remote education, guidance and support across all areas of pregnancy, birth and postnatal care, so you will still be able to access my experience and support wherever you are.

I am deeply grateful to all of the wonderful mothers, fathers, partners and babies who chose me as their midwife, and will always remember the wonderful moments we shared together.

Please, keep in touch as my journey changes to an online approach to midwifery support. There will be more news about my services in due course, so please do keep an eye on the website for further announcements.
