A LITTLE ABOUT BRIELLE
Hi, I'm Brielle.
My own experiences of conception, pregnancy, birth, loss and mothering have been varied, at times very challenging, I became a first time mum at 18, was a single parent for much of my eldest's early years, have experienced pregnancy loss, fertility challenges, vaginal births, emergency and planned caesareans, amazing birth experiences and birth trauma, postnatal anxiety, 'mum rage', feeling like I had lost myself in motherhood, parenting neurodivergent children, later finding out of my own ADHD - all of these experiences leading to my passion to support other women through these stages of life.
I provide counselling, coaching, motherhood and parenting support to mums who are navigating the challenges of fertility, pregnancy and motherhood, helping them move towards more calm, confidence and joy.
I also support women navigating other significant life transitions and rites of passage, including perimenopause.
Together, we work through your current challenges and explore a more authentic and fulfilling vision of motherhood—one that moves beyond the unrealistic expectations that our society place on mothers, and towards one that aligns with your values, needs, and unique circumstances. Through this process, I help women reconnect with themselves, trust their inner wisdom, and create a version of motherhood that feels more fulfilling, sustainable and meaningful.
When women prioritise their own wellbeing, the benefits flow through to their parenting, relationships, and family life.
My approach is warm, compassionate and holistic - utalising a combination of evidence-based approaches such ACT, Compassion focused therapy, mindfulness-based, narrative and somatic approaches.
I am an Accredited Social Worker with additional training in life coaching, Matrescence, Motherhood Studies, Women's Circle facilitation, Birth Story Listening and mindful early parenting group facilitation.
I am a mum of four ranging from primary school to late 20's, and a step mum of a one who has his own little one, so I understand the challenges, joys and complexity that come with different stages of motherhood, parenting and being a woman.
