Dr Jo Gee Psychotherapy
Therapy for Postnatal Depression
in Guildford and Online
Becoming a mother is a life-changing experience. But despite all the joys, the lack of sleep, identity shift and sudden overwhelming responsibility can take an emotional toll. Many new mothers experience mood changes in the first weeks after birth – you’re not alone.
Postnatal depression is a persistent condition that develops within the first year after childbirth and affects both mental and physical health.
At Dr Jo Gee Psychotherapy, we provide specialist, compassionate therapy to help women navigate postnatal depression and regain a sense of balance. Whether you visit us at our Guildford clinic or choose online therapy, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
Postnatal depression is a common but serious mental health condition that affects around 1 in 10 new mothers.
It’s important to note the difference between postnatal depression and the “baby blues.” While the baby blues causes mood swings, tearfulness and irritability in the first two weeks after birth, postnatal depression lasts longer and feels more intense, making it difficult to function in daily life.
Our therapists provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about your feelings.
We work with you to identify patterns that contribute to your depression, explore effective coping strategies and support you in rebuilding confidence and emotional wellbeing.
Postnatal depression is not your fault, and you don’t have to face it alone. With the right support, you can heal, reconnect with yourself and your baby, and enjoy motherhood with confidence.
Having these feelings does not mean you are failing as a mother. Postnatal depression is a treatable condition, and with the right support, recovery is possible.
If postnatal depression affects your daily life, seeking support is an important step toward recovery.
You may benefit from therapy if:
If you’re struggling, you don’t have to go through this alone.
Therapy can help you process your emotions, develop healthy coping strategies and feel more confident in your role as a mother.
“From start to finish, it taught me so much about myself.”
“Thank you for challenging me when I needed it.”
“I can’t believe how much progress I’ve made in a short time.”
“After many years of therapy, you are the first person who gets me.”
Postnatal depression doesn’t have a single cause. It develops due to a combination of biological, psychological and social factors, including:
Understanding these factors can help guide effective treatment and emotional healing.
