CBT FOR MOTHERS AND PARTNERS
CBT for Pregnancy, Perinatal and Postnatal
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for pregnancy has emerged as a vital tool in addressing perinatal and postnatal depression, anxiety and childbirth trauma.
Why CBT for Pregnancy & Postnatal Support
Pregnancy and childbirth are transitional times for parents, and they can also bring about significant stress and emotional challenges. For some individuals, the journey through pregnancy and childbirth can result in traumatic experiences that impact their mental wellbeing.
Structured Approach
CBT offers a structured, evidence-based approach to addressing these challenges, providing individuals with the skills and strategies needed to navigate their emotions and thoughts effectively.
Specialist-Led Care
CBT interventions during the perinatal period, delivered by specialist perinatal therapists, focus on reducing the impact of this emotional and challenging period and developing coping strategies.
Common Challenges During Pregnancy & Postpartum
Collaborative Care
By working with a specialist CBT perinatal therapist and a trauma therapist, individuals can learn to manage their emotions and develop a sense of empowerment in their journey to motherhood and parenthood.
Pregnancy-Related Anxiety
Many parents-to-be may experience anxiety about childbirth, concerns about their changing bodies, or worries about their ability to parent.
Resurfacing Past Difficulties
Others may have experienced past mental health difficulties, which may re-appear during or after pregnancy.
Birth Trauma
Birth trauma is more common than often thought, and it can affect mothers and birth partners; some individuals may have difficult experiences during childbirth. These experiences can affect mental health, leading to conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Is online CBT-I as effective as in-person therapy?
Yes!
Research consistently shows that digital delivery of CBT-I is equally effective, often with higher adherence rates because it removes the stress of travelling to an appointment while exhausted.
How long does it take to see results with CBT-I?
While every individual is different, many clients begin to see improvements in their sleep efficiency within 4 to 6 sessions, over the period of 8 to 12 weeks.
We focus on sustainable, long-term changes rather than ‘quick fixes.
Can I access your therapy if I am living outside the UK?
Yes.
We support a global community of people in the UK,international English-speaking individuals worldwide, expats, and people speaking other languages, as some of our therapists are native speakers of other languages.
We ensure that our online practice meets the necessary standards for remote care, providing you with high-quality, familiar British-standard expertise regardless of your current location.
What does "UK-Accredited" sleep therapist mean?
It means your therapist has undergone extensive, verified training and is registered with a major UK professional body (such as the BACP, UKCP, HCPC, or BABCP).
This guarantees we adhere to strict codes of ethics, receive regular clinical supervision, and commit to continuous professional development.
Do I need to prepare before therapy?
No, you don’t. You will have time to work with your therapist and work at your own pace.
However, when people come to therapy is for a reason, and they have already thought about what they want to work on, or have tried in the past interventions that have not been successfully.
We always support people to reflect on what they want to take from sessions and/or what they would like to work on.
Do I need to prepare before therapy?
You don’t need to decide this alone, we are here alongside you, in your therapeutic journey.
During your initial consultation, together, we will assess your needs and discuss which modality or combination of modalities is best suited to your specific goals and history.
