Gentle things to know
Talk therapy, not medical care
Online talk therapy is not medical, obstetric or midwifery care. For physical symptoms or any worry about your health or your baby's, contact your doctor or midwife.
Many focus areas
Each therapist lists pregnancy and childbirth or postpartum depression, and every profile shows everything else they work with too.
Credentials depend on the country
US therapists list a state license and an NPI number. UK and Australian therapists and counsellors list a professional registration instead.
No promised outcome
No therapist can promise a particular result. A profile helps you judge whether someone's way of working might suit you.
Browse by topic
A new baby touches sleep, mood, relationships, work and money. You do not need the right word for what you feel; choose whatever seems closest.
Pregnancy and the early months
Mood, sleep and worry
