Helen Graham
Registered Midwife R.M. Certified Birth trauma resolution therapist
My extensive experience of 25 years as a practising midwife places me in a prime position to offer women and partners a specialist therapy who are struggling to process the memories of the birth of their baby and who are maybe unable to move forward with their lives as new parents.
I trained as a birth trauma resolution therapist with the acclaimed psychotherapist, Jennifer Mullan in 2017 and work independently from my base in North Bedfordshire.
My compassionate, calm nature and full understanding of pregnancy, birth and beyond provides a sound platform to offer a safe, fast, effective therapy to work through your feelings, issues and fear so often associated with a traumatic experience.
Normally 1-4 sessions will provide closure to allow you to reprocess the thoughts surrounding your birth experience and to remove the emotional tag from them releasing you from the constant triggers which cause you to be anxious, tearful, hyper-vigilant, lacking in confidence and other negative emotions.
The therapy consists of a step-by-step process including:
Building trust and rapport with myself as a therapist
Having the opportunity to be listened to by a health professional / practitioner
Retelling your story as little or as much as you wish
Having your feelings validated in a non-judgemental manner
Setting your own personal goals from the therapy
Working on deep relaxation techniques
Guided visual imagery
Use of the rewind technique to facilitate the reprocessing of the memory to remove the emotional tag and to be able to remember the experience without the trauma and associated feelings
Use of healing metaphors and stories to help with moving forward or coming to terms with loss and grief
Positive rehearsals to help prepare for a future birth experience
I am fully insured with a medico-legal company and offer flexible evening and weekend appointments.
The testimonials to date from women I have helped are positive and heart-warming.
I offer open contact by email or telephone between therapy sessions and an initial no-obligation call to talk through the therapy and issues surrounding your birth experience.
