Perinatal Anxiety, Depression and Emotional Wellbeing
Support for Perinatal Anxiety and Depression on the Gold Coast
Perinatal mental health refers to emotional wellbeing during pregnancy and the first year after birth. This time can be vulnerable, and many people experience anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, panic, irritability, or feelings of disconnection.
At Feel Good Psychology, we offer compassionate and evidence-based support for perinatal anxiety, depression, and emotional wellbeing. We help clients understand what they are experiencing, reduce distress, and feel more like themselves again.
Common Signs of Perinatal Anxiety or Depression
Constant worry or racing thoughts
Feeling overwhelmed or unable to switch off
Panic attacks or heightened fear
Low mood or tearfulness
Loss of enjoyment
Irritability or anger
Difficulty bonding with baby
Feelings of guilt or shame
Sleep difficulties beyond usual newborn disruption
Fear that you are failing
If these experiences are affecting daily life, relationships, or confidence, support can help.
How Therapy Can Help
Our sessions focus on both emotional relief and practical tools. Therapy may support you to:
Understand anxiety and mood changes
Reduce intrusive thoughts and rumination
Build coping strategies for stress
Strengthen self-worth and confidence
Improve communication with your partner
Process difficult pregnancy or birth experiences

A Warm, Non-Judgemental Space
