Infant Bonding & Attachment Support
Creating a strong emotional bond with your baby is one of the most meaningful parts of pregnancy and early parenthood. However, some parents face difficulties with bonding, which can bring feelings of anxiety or disconnection.
Whether you’re struggling to connect with your baby during pregnancy or after birth, I’m here to provide compassionate support. Together, we can work through these challenges and help you build a secure, loving relationship with your child, allowing you to feel more confident and connected as a parent.
Common Challenges with Bonding and Attachment
Some parents find bonding with their baby difficult for various reasons, including:
​
-
Anxiety or postnatal depression
-
Premature birth or medical complications
-
Birth trauma or a challenging pregnancy
-
Feeling disconnected or overwhelmed
-
Difficulties with breastfeeding or physical closeness​
​
If any of these resonate, or if you’re facing other challenges not listed here, don’t hesitate to reach out. You’re not alone, and help is available.

What to expect from our work together
During our sessions, you can expect a safe, supportive environment where you can openly discuss your experiences, concerns, and feelings without judgment. Together, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing and identify the best ways to strengthen your bond with your baby.
​
I’ll provide guidance and practical tools designed to enhance your confidence and emotional availability as a parent. This may include techniques to help manage anxiety, support emotional connection, and foster a nurturing environment for both you and your child.
​
We might also use interactive methods like Video Interactive Guidance (VIG), a very useful tool to give you insight and help you to observe and positively reflect on your interactions with your baby. VIG can help you notice the subtle ways your baby responds to you and how you can enhance that connection in everyday moments.
