You were told you were fine.
You knew you weren't.
If this all feels very personal, it is because it is.
This practice was built on my own lived experience and my own healing.
It is what I wanted to have found back then, when I was lost and had no words to match my internal landscape and the rollercoaster of emotions that I hid in plain sight from others — even those closest to me.
Welcome. I'm Tania, a trauma-informed counsellor, neuro-affirming coach, and AuDHD mother of three.
I work with ADHD and Autistic mothers who are navigating birth trauma, postpartum burnout, and the profound identity shift of matrescence, often all at once, often without anyone around them who truly gets it.
I built this practice because I needed it to exist. I know what it is to move through a traumatic birth without language for it. To burn out before anyone named it. To finally understand, after a late diagnosis, why the standard advice never worked for your brain.
If you have been dismissed, overwhelmed, or told you should be over it by now, you are in the right place.
How I can support you:
The perinatal period unfolds differently for neurodivergent mothers. Birth trauma, postpartum burnout, and the identity shift of matrescence rarely arrive separately, and standard support rarely reaches far enough. Here is where I can help.
Birth Trauma Recovery Space to make sense of what happened during your birth — without having to justify how it affected you, or relive it in painful detail.
Postpartum Burnout Support Practical, neuro-affirming counselling for mothers whose nervous systems are running on empty — built for how your brain actually works, not how it "should."
Neuro-Affirming Birth Debrief A structured, compassionate process to find coherence in a birth experience that left you with more questions than answers. No expiry date on this one. It is never too late.
Not sure if this is right for you? That is exactly what this call is for.
No camera required if you are having a low-sensory day.
My practice is built on specialist clinical training and lived experience.
I hold a Bachelor's in Counselling (Academie voor Coaching en Counselling, Netherlands, 2024), specialist certification as a 3 Steps Rewind Practitioner for birth trauma resolution (2022), and training in Anxiety in the Perinatal Period (TBR College, 2021), Supporting Survivors in the Perinatal Period (Resilient Birth, 2021), and Supporting Neurodiverse Birth (Neurodivergent Birth UK, 2024).
My years as a birth doula inform the depth and humanity of everything I do — though I no longer attend births. My work now lives entirely in counselling, trauma recovery, and neuro-affirming postpartum support.
I practise in accordance with my Ethical Commitment & Professional Standards, which cover confidentiality, consent, safeguarding, and ongoing supervision.
In their words
A birth debrief gives you the space to go back to a difficult birth and finally make sense of it. Here's what one involves, who it's for, and what to look for, especially if your brain works differently.
