Dr Emma HaynesCounselling and Psychotherapy for Winchester

I am committed to providing professional psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.

I specialise in:

Maternal/Perinatal mental illness - distress, stress, anxiety, depression, birth trauma, the trauma of puerperal psychosis, difficulties in conception or IVF, Tokophobia (fear of giving birth), Hyperemesis Gravidarum (extreme sickness in pregnancy) or the loss of a baby either through miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death. I also help couples with infertility. Please head to the dedicated page to see more about what I offer.

Developmental trauma - this is one of the most extreme forms of trauma and occurs in early childhood due to toxic parenting, trauma and neglect. Again I have a dedicated page for this area of specialism which might help you to decide if this is relevant to you.

I work with both individuals and couples on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.

I also offer supervision and I hold training workshops for counsellors, psychotherapists or anyone working with with mums in the perinatal period. Please go to my Training page for the next courses available.

I have experience in the particular areas listed below, however I am happy to help clients with any type of difficulty they may be suffering:

• Trauma of any kind, particularly developmental trauma
• Relationships and Family dynamics
• Parent infant and family bonding
• Any mental illness such as Depression, Stress and Anxiety in motherhood
• Birth trauma and fear of giving birth
• Difficulty in conception
• Depression
• Bereavement of any kind
• Panic Attacks and Anxiety
  
  My therapy practice is based in Hampshire within easy reach of Winchester, Andover and Basingstoke. There is plenty of parking, and there is a bus route reasonably close by. However, I am located within the countryside so most people get to me by car.
