Initial consultations comprise of a comprehensive discussion about the difficulties you are experiencing and how to align your values and goals to create and implement strategies to help. Consultations are undertaken in a holistic manner in line with the Neuroprotective Developmental Care approach (NDC), this means we address and discuss breastfeeding, unsettled infant behaviour, infant sleep and parental mental health.
All consultations are individualised with time to talk and debrief about your parenting journey.
Each consultation allows time to discuss maternal mental health and offer strategies.
NDC has a large focus on maternal mental health by guiding you through a therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This approach normalises difficult thoughts and feelings, helps you discover your values as a parent, encouraging self-compassion, cognitive diffusion and committed action.
