Hello my name is Arlene Dunkley-Wood, I am a counsellor, psychotherapist and perinatal mental health recovery practitioner and specialist.

Offering a person centred and solution focused approach to counselling with 6 weekly sessions for trauma rewind and perinatal birth recovery.

Then please reach out.

We will work together in a solutions focused approach, to get to a future state  which gives you the tools to monitor and manage your internal states so that you can function in a healthy way for your self confidence and for your life.

You will be listened to acknowledged and work out ways that you can move forward to a positive future state.  We will use breathing, SFQ, TBR3 rewind if needed and visualisation, hypnotherapy, mindfulness and understanding the need for self compassion.

I have spent the best part of 30 years in the birth world, as a birth educator, birth doula and supporter for mothers and babies as a Active Birth Teacher and Senior YogaBirth Teacher.

I also trained and offered counselling and bodywork to mothers through pregnancy, birth and in preparation for pregnancy with Mizan abdominal work.

I trained with the College of Holistic Medicine in Life Development Counselling and psychotherapy qualifying in 1995 and am now a registered Member of BACP.

Continued personal development is important to me and I am now offering Solution Focused Trauma Rewind and Perinatal Birth Recovery session.

I am conscious that the birth process is not always straight forward. and complication may have arisen during your birth journey.  My passion for supporting women has guided me  to move into the work of perinatal mental health.

I am very interested in working with all birthing people and their families, but have a special desire to work with women of colour.
