Working Mums
Working mums are often carrying a truly ridiculous amount.
Children. Work. Meals. Appointments. Emotional labour. Co-parenting. School things. Relationship things. Other people’s needs. Their own guilt about all of it. Their own body asking for rest while the rest of life laughs and adds another task to the list.
It’s common to feel overwhelm, burnout, anxiety, frustration, loneliness, or the constant sense that there is not enough of you to go around. There may be questions like, “Am I doing the right thing?” “Am I failing my child?” or “How do I do all of this and still be me?” Sometimes motherhood is deeply wanted and still overwhelming. Sometimes it carries grief, resentment, pressure, or a role that was never consciously chosen in the way it is now being lived.
Underneath there can be wounds around caregiving, safety, neglect, or the kind of mothering you received.
For some women, mothering their own child brushes up against things that should never have happened to them. That matters. It deserves care, not shame.
What I’m interested in is not just how to help you perform motherhood better. I’m interested in the greater self. Who are you as a mother, yes, but also who are you beyond the role? How does “mother” fit into the broader creature of you?

The goal is not a Pinterest version of balance.
It’s something more alive than that. It’s being able to work, parent, and exist without abandoning yourself in the process. It’s having more regulation, more honesty, more space, and less guilt. It’s feeling that you can be yourself as a mother, not just an exhausted machine that keeps everyone else alive, or a version of ‘mother’ that you grew up with, that doesn’t fit the ‘you’ as a mother.
Book a free introductory call
If you’re considering therapy with me, the next step is to book a free introductory call.
This call is a no-pressure way of getting to know each other a little. You can ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and see whether we are a good fit for each other. Therapy is a relationship, and fit matters.
