Gillian Taylor Counsellor and Psychotherapist

MSc Psychotherapy UKCP Accredited. Bsc Midwifery

Hello. Through my own personal experience of a traumatic birth, becoming a midwife and then working as a specialist midwife in mental health, I have become passionate about supporting women through the emotions of pregnancy, birth and early parenting.

Each person experiences birth in their unique way due to personality, early life experience, previous sexual encounters and the type of birth. For some a routine procedure may be experienced as traumatic whereas others may feel relaxed and cared for following a difficult birth.

It can be hard to process feelings when we don’t feel the way society expects us to. Perhaps we are told we should be grateful or happy or pleased we had a normal birth when in fact we feel terrified or ashamed or just numb.

It can really help to speak to a skilled professional. I work in a person-centred way which allows you to work at your own pace but will use relaxation and visualisation techniques to regulate emotions helping prevent you from becoming traumatised all over again. You will gain a deeper understanding of your experiences allowing you to process them and move forward with your life.

You are welcome to contact me.
