Three Session Debrief Package
The three session package is a way to discuss different aspects of your birth trauma, and to break down and work through lived experiences that impacted the road to parenting and continue to linger.
Description
Sometimes following a difficult or negative experience across the perinatal period, more support is needed. I strongly believe in the power of one session and for some this is sufficient but for some, more time is needed.
The three session package is a way to get this and to break down and work through lived experiences that impacted the road to parenting and continue to linger. The aim of the three sessions is to work through these experiences feeling heard and understood and working on the different aspects as they present through the conversation.
The sessions can be used for whatever you like, they can be used to discuss current issues or concerns around parenting, more historic issues such as issues around conception or pregnancy, they can be used to make plans for an upcoming birth following trauma or simply as birth preparation or to work through birth trauma in a guided and supported manner over an extended period. It is your time to use as you wish.
You will have one hour long session a month over 3 months and monthly email support for guidance and advice.
Features
The sessions will be broken up into three, this is a general overview but I will follow your lead continuously and be led by your needs.
Reflect – This is the opportunity to discuss what happened and when, we will go into detail of your experiences to gain an understanding of where we will be starting and getting a deeper insight into how this has affected you and ways in which it may continue to do so.
We will end this session with some exercises to undertake before the following session.
Reframe – This session is where we will work on looking at alternative ways in which you can view your experience. This will be gaining an understanding of clinical events, emotional impacts, physical and mental wellbeing.
Redefine – The final session will be where will wrap up the previous two sessions and create a clear plan going forward for you to be able to go fourth with understanding, confidence and a different outlook on your experience. This does not mean that you will not still be aware of the impact of your experience, I would never promise that but hopefully with listening, validation and understanding you will carry it with you differently.
Along with email support you will receive a personalised journal to use during and between our sessions in order to not only track your progress but to look back on for reminders and other information.
If you go ahead and book, you will have access to my diary to schedule in your sessions. Once you have done that I will send you a booking form with some general questions for you to give me a little bit of information before we start.

Post/Prenatal Debrief
This debrief can also serve as an opportunity to discuss your birth experience if you have suffered birth trauma, this can be done after the birth or before the subsequent birth if you feel it is necessary.
Description
During this session, I encourage women to discuss what happened during their pregnancy, birth and postpartum periods and explain clinical events and discuss what that person has deemed traumatic in detail. This debrief session can last between 1-2 hours and is a great opportunity to gain clarity and closure.
This debrief can also serve as an opportunity to discuss birth preferences for a subsequent birth following previous birth trauma. There is no need for you to have your notes, however, if you do have them and would like for us to go through them then that is more than welcome. The debrief serves as opportunity to be heard and for your questions to be answered impartially. Your partner or the person who was with during the birth is more than welcome to also attend as they may have also been affected by the traumatic experience. Should you have any further questions please do email me.

Pay It Forward Debrief
There is the option to ‘pay forward’ a debrief for someone else. This option is there so that women and birthing people who do not have the financial means to get the support they need can access it.
Description
For many, a big barrier to seeking support is financial means and this leads to that traumatic experience being left undealt with. Just because a trauma is ignored it doesn’t necessarily mean it goes away, it can continue to show up over and over.
Statistically, women and birthing people of low socio-economic status are more likely to be affected by poor birthing experiences. For this reason, thee option is available for anyone who is in a privileged position to be able to fulfil this need the it is more than welcome.
I have amassed a list of women who have reached out in need and when a paid forward debrief is bought I go to the next person on the list and give it to them.
The choice is yours to remain anonymous or for me to pass on your email address or preferred contact. I really appreciate all those who do pay it forward and I know that the recipients do too.
Following childbirth some people may feel that they have been left with many unanswered questions, which have left them feeling like they may need to speak to someone. For many, there is a need to have their feelings validated and understood.
During this session, i encourage women to discuss what happened during their pregnancy, birth and postpartum periods and explain clinical events and discuss what that person has deemed traumatic in detail.
