Online perinatal psychology
Psychological support during pregnancy, the postpartum period and your baby's first year, for you or for both of you as a couple. 60-minute video sessions with Silvia Simón, a health psychologist trained in attachment and perinatal psychology.
When can it help?
- Anxiety or fears during pregnancy, including fear of giving birth.
- A birth that didn't go as you expected and still weighs on you.
- Sadness, irritability or feeling unlike yourself in the weeks or months after birth.
- Exhaustion, guilt or the feeling that you can't keep up.
- Doubts about your bond with your baby or whether you're doing it right.
- Changes in your identity, your body and the life you had before.
- Arguments, distance or an unequal share of tasks since the baby arrived.
- Changes in desire and sexuality after birth.
- A loss during pregnancy or after birth.
For mothers, fathers and couples
A baby's arrival doesn't only change the person who gave birth. Fathers and partners feel it too, and hardly anyone asks how they are. You can come on your own or as a couple, if what worries you is how you're both doing.
How we work
We start by understanding what's happening to you and where you are right now. We work at your pace, with an attachment-based approach: a space to put what you feel into words and practical tools for everyday life. If needed, I'll suggest you also talk to your midwife, gynaecologist or doctor.
As well as being a psychologist, I recently became a mother: I know first-hand what changes when a baby arrives.
From home, baby included
Sessions are by video call, so you don't have to travel or find someone to look after the baby. If they wake up or get hungry, that's fine: we pause as needed.
If you'd like to share the experience with other families, there are also the workshops (in Spanish) Now we are three, for couples, and The first year is yours too, for fathers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I come during pregnancy or only after the birth?
Both. You can come during pregnancy, in the postpartum period or at any point while raising your child.
How do I know if it's postnatal depression?
Feeling overwhelmed in the first few days is normal. If sadness, anxiety or low mood last more than two weeks, or you struggle to get through the day, it's worth getting it checked. We'll look at it calmly in the first session. If you have thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, seek urgent help: in Spain, call 024 or 112.
Can I join with my baby in my arms?
Yes. Many sessions happen with the baby close by, and it's fine if we need to pause for a moment.
Is it confidential?
Yes. Everything we talk about is protected by professional confidentiality and health data protection law.
