Birth Debrief
I offer trauma-informed birth debriefs for parents who want to share their story in a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space.
Telling our stories is a natural and gentle way to process experiences. These sessions are designed to support you in sharing your birth and/or early postpartum story, explore how the experience felt at the time and how it feels now, and most importantly, feel heard and seen through a compassionate lens.
The sessions are led by you and are emotion-focused rather than outcome-focused - we are not trying to fix anything. This is a space for storytelling and reflection, not clinical review. If the experience still feels challenging after the birth debrief, we can explore birth trauma resolution as a next step.
What to expect during a birth debrief session
During your session, I will gently guide you with open questions, allowing you to share as much or as little as feels right. We can explore whatever feels most helpful for you.
A typical session may include:
-
sharing your birth story in your own words*
-
reflecting on how the experience felt at the time
-
exploring how it feels for you now
-
considering how your birth may be influencing your experience of parenthood
-
exploring how a previous birth may be shaping your current pregnancy (if relevant)
*These sessions are also open to birth partners, offering a supportive space to reflect on and process their experience.
Cost: £65 per hour (reduced rates are available for single parents and low-income families - please get in touch for more information).
Location: Birth Debrief sessions are currently held online. For those who may find online sessions difficult to access or who feel more comfortable meeting in person, I also offer in-home sessions across Bristol and North Somerset for an additional cost of £1 per mile travelled.
