I offer training in perinatal (maternal, paternal/partner) mental illness and complex disturbance in the maternal.
WORKSHOPS
5-Day Certificate in
Perinatal Psychotherapy
Begins April 2024
From pre-conception to post-birth, disturbance within the parenting journey is far too common and can have devastating effects on the mother, infant, partner and entire family.
The training is relational in approach and offers a thorough grounding in perinatal mental illness, how to work with it, the most common presentations, some of the common ethical dilemmas, working with neurodivergence and complex presentations (TFMR, postpartum psychosis, late miscarriage, loss in infancy, birth trauma). We will explore a multitude of themes including parental bonding, attachment and affect regulation and how fundamental these are in perinatal work. We will also cover working with fathers/partners and couples (including heterosexual, single sex and non-binary couples).
The course programme is as follows:
Training Day 1
What are we working with. Perinatal mental illness - pathology, normality or systemic failure?
The common presentations, confounders, and disturbance in the parenting journey.
