Perinatal & Postpartum Support
Pregnancy and the postpartum period are often described as joyful, meaningful, and transformative—but they can also be overwhelming, emotional, and deeply challenging. Many individuals experience unexpected changes in mood, identity, relationships, and sense of self during this time.
At Be Well Therapy Studio, pregnancy and postpartum therapy offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space to process the emotional, mental, and relational shifts that can arise before and after birth. Whether you’re navigating anxiety during pregnancy, postpartum mood changes, identity shifts, birth experiences, or the pressures of new parenthood, therapy provides support during a profoundly vulnerable season of life.
Our clinic founder & first-time mom, Nicole, offers health support services designed specifically for new and established parents who may struggle with these transitions. Nicole offers a safe space for you to explore your feelings, manage the demands of parenting, and enhance your relationships with your spouse or partner. Together, we can work towards finding balance and fulfillment during this transformative time in your life so you can thrive, rather than just survive!
Our sessions are held via secure video call, phone call or in-office at our Downtown London studio. Send us an email to inquire about Nicole's availability to accept new clients.

Many clients experience moments of insight as they begin to name emotions they’ve been holding alone. These moments of clarity can foster self-compassion, confidence, and emotional relief.
