The birth of a child and the new life as a family is a major developmental challenge. This can lead to conflicts and crises that cannot be overcome alone, despite great efforts. Sometimes there is a lack of information, sometimes you are overwhelmed and no longer know what is most important at the moment. Sometimes you feel anxious or discouraged or you have imagined or desired being a mother, father or parent in a completely different way. Feelings of shame and guilt for your own feelings are often added to this, which makes the situation even more difficult.
Our counselling can be helpful in adopting a different perspective, understanding the meaning of these crises as an opportunity for reorientation, mobilising strength and gaining courage. We see our counselling sessions as short-term support that can help you find your feet in a new life situation.
