Specialist counselling for pregnancy, parenting and baby loss
Hello, I’m Manisha.
I offer specialist counselling and support during pregnancy, baby loss, relationships and parenting identity. If you’re looking for counselling support, you’re welcome to explore how I work or arrange a short introductory call.
I know reaching out can feel daunting. You don’t need to know exactly what you want to say before making contact. Many people come to counselling for support with pregnancy after loss, postnatal emotional wellbeing, birth experiences or the impact of miscarriage and baby loss.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Grounded in care. Rooted in culture. Guided by compassion.
I’m Manisha, a counsellor and consultant specialising in perinatal mental health, baby loss, relationships and parenting.
My approach is shaped by both my professional training and my lived experiences. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership, not something that you just attend and participate in. At the heart of my work is creating a relationship where you feel heard, respected and supported, so we can make sense of things together in a way that feels right for you.

WHO I WORK WITH
Finding support for what feels too heavy to carry alone
Many people seek counselling when pregnancy, baby loss or parenting brings emotions that feel difficult to carry alone. Some come for support after miscarriage or baby loss, others during pregnancy, after birth, or when adjusting to the emotional changes of early parenthood.
I often work with people who are finding life harder than they imagined during pregnancy, after baby loss, or during early parenthood. Some come to me feeling anxious, low or overwhelmed; others are grieving, adjusting to big changes, or feeling uncertain about who they are becoming.
For many people, culture, faith, family expectations and identity are also part of what shapes these experiences. These aspects of your life are welcome in this space rather than set aside.
You don’t need to have had therapy before, many of the people I meet are reaching out for the very first time; whilst others return as a previous client or someone looking for more specialised support. Here are some of what my clients often bring to sessions:
- Feeling anxious, low or overwhelmed
- Living with grief after loss
- Struggling to adjust to changes in pregnancy or parenting
- Unsure about identity or direction
- Seeking therapy for the very first time
Some people come to counselling after miscarriage or baby loss, while others seek support during pregnancy, birth experiences or the emotional transition into parenthood.
Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to go through it alone.
