Nicky | Counsellor
(Online) Counselling St Albans
With over 13 years of experience in the mental health sector, I specialise in supporting women with the emotional challenges that can come with pregnancy, birth, early motherhood, and experiences of pregnancy or infant loss.
As a mum, I understand the unique challenges that mothers face. Having experienced postnatal anxiety myself, I know how overwhelming it can feel to question every decision, manage constant worry, or navigate big changes in identity and relationships. I also recognise that for some women, the journey into motherhood can include grief — whether through miscarriage, baby loss, or the complex emotions that can follow.
I have worked with women facing a wide range of experiences, including pregnancy and postnatal anxiety, low mood, birth trauma, pregnancy loss, infant loss, identity changes, and relationship or family concerns. This experience allows me to offer compassionate, specialist support to women at every stage of pregnancy and motherhood — including when that journey has not unfolded as expected.
Together, we can explore what you’re finding difficult, make sense of your emotions, and help you feel more confident, grounded, and supported — wherever you are in your journey.
