Postpartum Counselling in Powell River, BC
Life with a newborn can be tender, exhausting, and lonely all at once.

At Psychotherapy Room, our BCACC-registered RCC counsellor offers postpartum counselling in Powell River, BC, over secure video, so help can come to you and your baby.
Beyond the "Baby Blues" | Postpartum Support in Powell River
Many new parents feel teary or overwhelmed in the first weeks. When anxiety, intrusive worries, sadness, anger, or disconnection last or grow stronger, it is worth reaching out. Postpartum difficulties are common and are not a sign that you are failing as a parent. Counselling helps you make sense of what you are feeling, rebuild rest and confidence, and adjust to changes in identity, your body, and your relationships. Partners and co-parents are welcome to seek support too.
When the Birth Was Hard
Some people are left shaken by a frightening or painful birth. Where it fits, we draw on trauma-focused approaches to help you process those memories at a pace that feels safe. Our prenatal and postpartum page shares more about support for new parents.
Support That Works With a Baby at Home
Online sessions mean no ferry, no car seat, and no rushing out the door. You can feed or settle your baby during a session, and you can keep your camera off if that feels easier. Counselling complements care from your doctor or midwife. If you are in crisis or having thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, call or text 9-8-8 or go to your nearest emergency department.
