Welcome to Becoming Mother

Perinatal psychotherapy for your transition into motherhood

Simple logo_edited.jpg

Becoming a mother is an incredible journey but also one of profound emotional and psychological change. This transformative period, called matrescence, often stirs up deep, sometimes difficult, feelings.

I offer focussed psychodynamic psychotherapy to help you navigate this unique path.

Hello

My name is Laura Southwick

Supporting new mothers through the transformative period of matrescence is my passion. As a psychodynamic psychotherapist and a mother myself, I understand deeply the complexities of exploring your new identity during this time.

"Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn't know you had, and dealing with fears you didn't know existed."
