A space to slow down
After a baby arrives, almost everyone asks how the baby is. I’d like to be the person who asks how you are.
I’m Monica, a registered psychologist and mum of twins, and I offer online sessions for mothers through pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, postpartum and the years that follow. I also see adults for general psychology.
Becoming a mum changed everything for me, and I felt I should be enjoying every minute. Some of it I loved, and some of it was really hard, and I felt there wasn’t much space to talk through this at the time. So I’ve created the space that I wish I’d had in early motherhood.
My approach in therapy sessions is warm, very practical and always paced to you. I keep my practice small to ensure I can give each person the time and attention they need.
-
From the moment my babies were born, life seemed to speed up. In a session with me, you can slow down. You’re the centre of the conversation and you get 50 minutes of being looked after.
-
Sessions are by secure video, so you can join from home. Some mothers like someone else to mind the baby so the time in session is entirely their own. Others need their babies close while we talk. Both are completely fine.
-
Nothing has to be wrong to talk through a big life change. Maybe you’re managing, or pushing through, or maybe you just want space for yourself to talk. If you’re working through heavier things, we will go through those gently, at your pace. My hope is that you leave your first session feeling heard and a little lighter.

While working with mothers is my main area of interest, I also practice general psychology with adults. If that’s you, please reach out. The same ‘unhurried’ approach applies.
