Postpartum therapy gives you a private place to talk about life after birth, including the feelings that are hard to say out loud. Mügé Tiritoğlu, RSW, offers online postpartum counselling for adults across British Columbia.
Postpartum life can involve disrupted sleep, relationship changes, loneliness, anger, pressure to feel grateful, or diminished confidence in yourself.
Counselling centres the person behind the parenting role and the realities you are carrying day to day.
If you are looking for a postpartum therapist, the first conversation is about your needs and whether Mügé’s approach is a fit. Sessions can focus on relationships, support, boundaries, confidence, or making space for recovery alongside caring for your baby.
Counselling can focus on
- Postpartum worry, low mood, irritability, or emotional overload
- Shifts in identity or confidence
- Changes in partnership, family boundaries, and support
- Return-to-work decisions and unequal mental load
What to expect
- You can speak plainly about the feelings that come with pregnancy and postpartum life, and the parts of parenthood that feel hard.
- Individual video sessions are 50 minutes and cost $150 CAD. You and Mügé decide what to focus on and review your needs as counselling continues.
- If there are urgent safety concerns for you or someone in your care, use the crisis resources listed on this site rather than waiting for a counselling appointment.
Questions about this support
Is therapy for new moms only for postpartum depression?
No. You can seek postpartum counselling for loneliness, anger, relationship strain, changes in identity, or the mental load of parenting. You do not need a diagnosis. Persistent low mood or anxiety also deserves a conversation with your physician, midwife, or nurse practitioner.
How does online postpartum therapy work?
Sessions take place by video while you are physically in BC. Before counselling begins, you discuss privacy, the video platform, your location, and a backup plan if the connection drops. You can also discuss feeding, baby care, and interruptions when planning your session.
How soon after birth can I begin counselling?
You can join the waitlist at any point after birth. A free 15-minute consultation is offered when space becomes available to discuss fit and next steps.
Can my baby be present during a virtual session?
Yes. Bring this up during your consultation so you can plan a session setup that is private and workable for your household.
