About Becca

I didn’t come to maternal mental health by accident.

During my counselling training, I experienced two pregnancies affected by Hyperemesis Gravidarum. At the same time as learning how to support others, I was living first-hand the physical, emotional and psychological toll pregnancy can take  and how quickly a woman’s needs can be minimised or overlooked.

It was during this period that I became clear about who I wanted to work with. I saw how little dedicated, nuanced support existed for women in pregnancy and early motherhood, particularly for those who were struggling while still feeling pressure to be grateful, coping, and “getting on with it”.

My work is grounded in an understanding of Matrescence - the profound biological, psychological and identity shifts that occur when a woman becomes a mother. Motherhood doesn’t simply add a role; it reshapes the brain, nervous system, relationships and sense of self. When these changes aren’t recognised or supported, distress often gets internalised as personal failure.

Alongside talking therapy, my training incorporates mindfulness and nervous-system-informed approaches. After experiencing EMDR myself, I came to deeply understand the importance of nervous system regulation in motherhood, not as a quick fix, but as a foundation for safety, integration and change.

I have always had a strong interest in psychology, and more recently neuroscience, particularly the maternal brain. I bring this education into my work gently and accessibly, helping women understand why they feel the way they do, not just what to do about it. For many, this understanding alone can reduce shame and self-blame.

I am passionate about continuing to expand my knowledge in maternal mental health and supporting women who are used to putting themselves last. My approach is compassionate, collaborative and paced - shaped by both professional training and lived experience.

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek support. You just need to feel that something isn’t sitting right and to want space where that can be held properly.
