POSTPARTUM COUNSELLING

Therapist focusing on children’s therapy, play therapy, autism and perinatal mental health. 

"You and your child can thrive, with the right support."

When your child is overwhelmed by big emotions, traditional approaches may not feel like enough. Whether your child is neurodivergent, experiencing anxiety, autism-related challenges, ADHD, behavioural difficulties, or emotional dysregulation, you want support from someone who truly understands how they experience the world.

Parenting through these challenges can feel exhausting and isolating. You may also be navigating your own stress, burnout, or emotional overwhelm during pregnancy, postpartum, or early parenthood. With the right therapeutic support, both you and your child can build resilience, connection, and confidence.

As Donald Winnicott said, “It is in playing and only in playing that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality.”

With over 10 years of clinical experience as a researcher, play therapist, early childhood educator, clinical psychologist, behavioural coach, and parent coach, Hadis brings a compassionate and highly specialized approach to supporting children and families. She has extensive experience working with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, developmental delays, anxiety, trauma, sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation challenges, and parent-child relationship concerns.

Hadis focuses on children’s therapy, play therapy, autism support, parent coaching, and perinatal mental health care for families across Ontario. She works with children from early childhood through adolescence using child-centered, attachment-based, and play-based therapy approaches that help children safely express emotions, develop coping skills, and strengthen emotional resilience.

In addition to supporting children, Hadis offers parent coaching to help caregivers feel more confident navigating behaviour challenges, emotional regulation, sleep concerns, developmental milestones, and family stress. She collaborates closely with parents to provide practical tools, emotional support, and strategies that align with each child’s unique needs and strengths.

Hadis also provides compassionate perinatal mental health support for individuals navigating pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, maternal anxiety, overwhelm, identity changes, and the emotional transition into parenthood. Her warm, collaborative approach creates a safe space where parents feel supported without judgment.

Families appreciate Hadis for her calming presence, deep understanding of neurodivergence, and ability to build strong therapeutic relationships with both children and caregivers. She believes every child deserves to feel understood, empowered, and emotionally safe.

Ready to help your child and your family build emotional resilience and stronger connections? Contact InnerWorks Counselling today to take the first step with Hadis. Services are available in person at the Lambeth office in London and online across Ontario.

Therapist focusing on relationships and anxiety.

"Find balance without sacrificing yourself."

You're giving it your all, in your relationships, in parenting, at work, but you still feel like you're failing. The guilt is crushing. The self-doubt is constant. You can't remember the last time you put yourself first.

Parenting stress, relationship issues, anxiety, and the inability to set healthy boundaries are stealing your peace. One minute things seem manageable, and the next you're feeling unsure, confused, or concerned about the future. You're drowning in everyone else's needs while your own get pushed aside. It shouldn't be this way.

With over 15 years of experience supporting children and families in the early years sector, Natalie understands what it's like when life throws curve balls. She's trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and is a certified facilitator in Circle of Security Parenting (COSP).

Natalie focuses in helping adults navigate parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, stress management, anxiety, self-doubt, and boundary-setting struggles. She'll help you develop effective coping strategies, tackle feelings of inadequacy, and learn to set and maintain healthy boundaries with yourself and loved ones, all while leading with self-compassion and your personal values.

If you're seeking a sense of belonging and connection without sacrificing who you are, Natalie creates a non-judgmental atmosphere filled with warmth and understanding. Therapy is a courageous step toward healing, and you deserve to travel toward a more fulfilling and manageable life.

Therapist focusing in Perinatal Mental Health, Postpartum and Life Transitions 

"You won't always feel this way."

You're overwhelmed, stressed, and worried you'll always feel this way. The burnout from day-to-day tasks, work demands, and parenting feels crushing. You're lost about your next steps and can't stop your racing mind.

Whether you're navigating pregnancy or postpartum challenges, experiencing caregiver burnout, or struggling with anxiety and depression during major life transitions, the exhaustion is real. You deserve confidence in making decisions, the ability to quiet your mind, and to simply feel better. It shouldn't be this hard.

Madeline understands that feeling burnt out, stressed, and worried doesn't make you weak, it makes you human. She knows that whether you're overwhelmed by parenting, work, or simply lost about your next steps, you need practical help and compassionate support.

Madeline supports individuals perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, anxiety, depression, caregiver burnout, and stress management for adults and older teens (16+). She works with individuals and couples, including those with Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) coverage. Her approach focuses on uncovering your inner strengths while developing practical ways to help you feel better and thrive.

With warmth and a strength-based approach, Madeline creates a space where you can be vulnerable, connect to your strengths, and develop a positive therapeutic relationship where you feel safe and able to face challenges. Together, you'll break things down into small steps and work toward aligning with your values.

Therapist focusing on OCD (Exposure and Response Prevention - ERP), Perinatal Mental Health, and Anxiety. 

 "Silence the inner critic. Reclaim yourself."

The intrusive thoughts won't stop. Whether it's OCD rituals stealing hours of your day, postpartum anxiety with terrifying thoughts about your baby, or the relentless worry and self-doubt that comes with anxiety and depression—you're exhausted and don't know how much longer you can keep going.

Maybe you're checking, washing, or counting compulsively. Or you're a new mother drowning in intrusive thoughts that fill you with shame. Maybe you're navigating menopause while anxiety ramps up, or watching your child struggle with big emotions they can't control. You're giving everything to everyone else while your own needs disappear. You feel like you're failing—at managing your mind, at parenting, at life. It shouldn't be this hard.

Nina focuses on OCD treatment through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy—the gold-standard treatment with 60-80% success rates. She also has extensive experience with anxiety and depression, pregnancy and postpartum mental health (including perinatal OCD), life transitions like menopause, parenting stress, and helping children ages 7+ with anxiety and emotional regulation.

Nina understands that making the initial call for help feels like a big step—but that's when things can start to change. Whether you're struggling with OCD, navigating the challenges of new motherhood, dealing with anxiety that's taken over your life, or supporting a child through their own mental health journey, Nina has the expertise and compassion to guide you forward.

Therapist focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

"Build your toolkit for the hardest seasons."

You're putting on a brave face, but inside you're not the person you used to be. Your patience is thin. You've snapped at people you love. The daily stress is building, and you don't know how much longer you can keep this up.

Whether you're navigating postpartum anxiety or depression, raising a neurodivergent child with autism, or dealing with relationship stress and life transitions, the "how I should be feeling" thoughts are making everything worse. You're exhausted from trying to live up to expectations, your own and everyone else's. It's not fair that major life events like having a baby or raising children come without better support.

Marissa serves as a Team Lead at InnerWorks Counselling and is trained in EMDR therapy, sand tray therapy, and play therapy techniques to support clients across the lifespan. She understands that daily life stresses build up and show up differently in each person, affecting your relationship with yourself and those around you.

Marissa supports adults with pregnancy and postpartum anxiety or depression, life stress, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and working with neurodivergent children and their families, particularly those with autism diagnoses. She'll help you challenge the negative self-talk and "but I should feel this way" thoughts, building your toolkit with strategies that improve your relationship with yourself and others.

Known for her empathetic, non-judgemental approach, Marissa creates a warm, compassionate space where you feel safe and comfortable throughout your entire journey, overcoming obstacles and accomplishing your goals.
