I’m Alex, birth and postnatal doula and accredited cognitive behaviour psychotherapist. I’m passionate about supporting women to be heard in their journey through pregnancy and birth, and listening to babies tell us their stories. Discovering the incredible healing that can happen for babies when we become curious and have compassion and empathy for their experience of birth and prenatal life is one of the things that brought me to this work. This, coupled with my experience working in mental health care and witnessing trauma responses, inspires me to help improve women and baby’s experience of birth and support better psychological health and wellbeing for the future. I am trained in trauma-focused CBT, a well-evidenced treatment for PTSD. I am especially passionate about supporting women to get acquainted with their intuition, to be physiology-informed, and to have access to up-to-date evidence-based information about their choices across the perinatal period.
