Perinatal Therapy North London
Pregnancy and parenthood is a transformative experience and can be filled with joy, excitement, and anticipation. However it’s also not uncommon to encounter emotional and psychological challenges along the way for many people. Perinatal problems include a wide range of concerns that can arise during pregnancy and the first year after childbirth, including anxiety, depression, mood swings, and difficulty adjusting to parenthood.
Tailored Therapy Approaches
Dr. Romila Ragaven provides compassionate, evidence-based support tailored to your specific needs. Dr. Ragaven utilises a variety of therapeutic approaches to create a personalised plan for your wellbeing. Here are some of the key techniques used:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): A powerful tool to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that can contribute to perinatal anxiety and depression. CBT empowers you to understand and transform these patterns, leading to improved emotional wellbeing.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT): This approach helps cultivate self-compassion, a crucial skill for managing difficult emotions often experienced during the perinatal period. CFT encourages a sense of kindness and understanding towards yourself.
- Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR): If you've experienced birth trauma or other traumatic events, EMDR therapy can be a powerful tool for processing and healing. EMDR helps you address past experiences in a safe and controlled environment.
