The desire to have children, pregnancy, childbirth and the early days of parenthood; it can all feel so fragile and precarious at times.
​
You want to do everything right, but sometimes it’s difficult. Then it feels as though you’re losing control of your life, your body, your emotions, your behaviour, your relationship. You had such high expectations or a rose-tinted dream about being pregnant and giving birth. And then things sometimes turn out so differently from what you expected. Yet this special period surrounding pregnancy and childbirth can also be the right time to approach your life differently or to break a negative pattern. That new little life can also be a fresh start and source of motivation for you.

As a psychologist, but also with extensive experience as a midwife, Josefien can offer you the right psychological support.
You can turn to her for a conversation about:
   - preparation for and support with challenges relating to         pregnancy, childbirth, the postnatal period and parenthood
   - struggles and uncertainties surrounding pregnancy
   - pregnancy loss, from early loss to a late farewell
   - reflections on pregnancy and parenthood
   - finding a new balance now that you are taking on different roles.
​
With an open-minded and calm approach, Josefien creates space for your feelings and for your story.
Not with quick fixes, but with professional support and a search for what helps and works. You are very welcome.
