Perinatal mental health therapy
Perinatal mental health support for fathers and partners
Perinatal mental health affects all parents, not only those who give birth. Around one in ten fathers experience postnatal depression, and many non-birthing partners struggle with anxiety, guilt, disconnection, or trauma following birth.
You might be:
- Feeling pressure to “stay strong” or hide your emotions
- Struggling to bond or feeling excluded
- Coping with trauma, fear, or helplessness
- Unsure how to support your partner while managing your own mental health
Oakwood Mind & Body offers a confidential and non-judgemental space where fathers and partners can feel supported, heard, and understood.
