Free to Nurture - Birth Trauma Therapy

Whether your birthing experience was recent or many years ago, if it involved fear, complications, feeling unheard, or didn't meet your expectations in ways that are important to you, it can leave difficult lasting effects that deserve care and healing.

You may be struggling just to get through each day, bond with your baby, or to manage certain situations (like medical appointments, mummy meet-ups or baby showers). Maybe you are fearful and avoiding anything that reminds you of birth—even though you might long for another child.

You may recognise some of these signs:

Re-experiencing the birth or surrounding events in flashbacks or nightmares

A heightened sense of threat or feeling 'on-edge'

Strong emotional or physical reactions to reminders

Feeling numb, detached, or disconnected

Avoiding reminders of birth (e.g. hospitals or conversations)

Fear or anxiety around future pregnancies

Difficulty bonding with your baby

Persistent negative thoughts (e.g. "I failed", "my body let me down")

Feelings of guilt, sadness, or shame

My name is Meg, and I'm the therapist behind Free to Nurture.

As a fully qualified CBT and EMDR therapist, and someone who has also experienced birth trauma, I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to the work we'll do together.

Using the proven, trauma informed, approaches of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), I offer a supportive space to help you process your experience, and move forward with confidence in your day to day day life—finally free to nurture!

What Others Have Experienced

Life saving. I honestly cannot say enough positive things about how Meg has helped and supported me in such a short space of time. She has made me believe in myself more and has given me the coping skills I have been forever looking for. I am so grateful.

Really positive. I wasn't expecting the EMDR to be as successful as it was. Meg puts you at ease and explains the theory so you get a better understanding of the treatment and why you feel like you do.

Meg has helped me more than I ever expected her to and I am now in a place I never thought I would be. A MASSIVE THANK YOU!!

I think that Meg has been brilliant and I felt really at ease and comfortable. It felt like speaking to a good friend and not a stranger. 10/10

I am very happy with the service and care I've received. My therapist was brilliant, very clear with explanations and clearly displays a passion for what she is doing which put me at ease from the start.

The service and treatment I received was at the very least superb. Meg is a highly competent, professional and outstanding therapist that succeeded where others have failed.

A big thank you to Meghan for her expertise, compassion, kindness and intuition. I've progressed far further than I thought possible.

Meg is very calm and understanding and has a very lovely manner which made me feel at ease and able to work through my issues.

Just a little note to say thank you so very very much for all you have done to assist me in overcoming quite a few major barriers. This really would not have been possible without you.

Meghan has been so understanding and fantastic at understanding what I mean and being able to help me sort out the jumble in my head. It has been such a positive process I would have no hesitation in recommending to others.
