CBT Therapy for Pregnancy After Loss, Birth Trauma & Postnatal Mental Health
Therapy for the women holding fear, grief, and hope - all at the same time.
If you’re pregnant again after loss, haunted by a traumatic birth, or struggling with anxiety since becoming a mum — you’re in the right place.
I’m Aleksandra Balazy-Knas, a specialist perinatal CBT therapist. I help women move through pregnancy and motherhood when it hasn’t felt safe, simple, or joyful.
Together, we focus on what to do with the fear - while it’s still happening. So you can feel more in charge of your story, and less alone inside it.
You might be here because...
-
Pregnancy After Loss
You’re pregnant again after loss - and terrified to believe it might work out.
-
Birth Trauma
Your birth experience still plays on repeat — and no one’s asked what it was really like.
-
Postnatal Depression and Anxiety
Motherhood hasn’t felt like you imagined — and you don’t feel like yourself anymore.
How therapy with me works
I combine evidence-based CBT, ACT, CFT and polyvagal, therapy approaches with specialist perinatal experience - but what really matters is this:
We work with what’s actually happening.
We don’t bypass the fear. We name it.
And we build a plan that helps you respond in the moment - not just reflect after.
Whether it’s scan panic, sleep spirals, birth flashbacks, or that feeling of “what if I can’t do this?” - you’ll leave every session with real tools, not vague reassurance.
Sessions are £130 per 50-minute session online only.
You don’t have to be ready. You just have to want things to feel a little less heavy.

BABCP-accredited CBT therapist. Clinical Supervisor. Mother.
I’ve worked with hundreds of women navigating pregnancy after loss, birth trauma, and the quiet storms of postnatal life.
My job isn’t to give you platitudes.
It’s to offer a grounded space where all parts of your story - the grief, the rage, the numbness, the fragile hope - are safe to bring.
I’ll never say “just be positive.”
I’ll help you find your way back to feeling steady - one tool, one session, one breath at a time.
