- Reducing anxiety and building confidence for birth
- Understanding birth and informed decision making
- Preparing after a previous difficult experience
- Helping both partners feel more confident and connected
- Supporting birth partners to feel involved and confident

The aim is not to promise a certain type of birth, but to help you feel more informed, supported, and emotionally prepared for the experience ahead.
Hypnobirthing - FAQs
What is hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing combines birth education, relaxation, breathing techniques, and emotional support to help you feel calmer and more confident about birth.
Is hypnobirthing only for natural or unmedicated births?
No. Hypnobirthing can support all types of births, including inductions, epidurals, planned caesareans, and hospital births.
How can hypnobirthing help if I feel anxious about birth?
Sessions can help you understand your fears, reduce anxiety, and learn calming techniques to help you feel more prepared and supported.
Will my partner be involved?
Yes. Sessions are designed for couples, helping birth partners feel informed, involved, and more confident in supporting you during birth.

Sessions include birth education, relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, practical preparation, and space to talk through any fears or worries you may have.
How often are sessions?
Sessions usually take place weekly and last between 1 and 2 hours depending on your needs.
Can hypnobirthing help after a previous traumatic birth?
Yes. Hypnobirthing can help you process fears from previous experiences and build confidence for a future birth.
What if I feel nervous or unsure about birth preparation?
That's completely okay. Sessions are relaxed, supportive, and tailored to you. There is no pressure to do things perfectly.
What if I'm experiencing a mixture of different feelings or difficulties?
You do not need to have everything figured out before starting counselling. Many people experience a combination of anxiety, low mood, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, identity changes, overwhelm, or simply a feeling that something doesn't feel right. You can find a safe space at Parent Perspective to explore your experience without needing to label or fully understand it first.
I don't feel like myself during pregnancy or after having a baby, can counselling help even if I don't know why?
Sometimes people can sense that something has changed emotionally, mentally, or physically, even if they can't explain it clearly. You can explore gently what has changed, understand how you're feeling, and reconnect with yourself with support and compassion.
