What types of therapy are available?

Here you will find a selection of therapeutic approaches that can help with depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorders during pregnancy or after childbirth. The right choice will always depend on the individual situation – and in many cases, combining approaches can be particularly effective, for example pairing individual psychotherapy with couples therapy, or complementing treatment with practical support such as childcare relief or peer mentoring.

Before beginning any treatment, it is worth having a thorough check-up with your gynaecologist or GP to rule out or address physical causes – such as thyroid conditions or deficiencies like iron deficiency – which can produce similar symptoms.
