Perinatal Counselling at Every Stage
Prenatal counselling
Emotional support during pregnancy for Edmonton-area women navigating anxiety, identity shifts, pregnancy loss, and the anticipation of new parenthood.
Postnatal counselling
Support in the early weeks after birth — adjusting to new life, bonding with your baby, recovering, and finding your footing as a new parent in Alberta.
Postpartum counselling
Specialized care for postpartum depression (PPD), postpartum anxiety, birth trauma, grief, and emotional recovery — available to Alberta mothers at any stage.
Perinatal Mental Health Support in Edmonton
The perinatal period — from pregnancy through the first year after birth — is one of the most emotionally complex seasons of a woman's life. According to Statistics Canada's 2018/2019 Survey on Maternal Health, nearly one in four Canadian mothers who had recently given birth — 23% — reported feelings consistent with postpartum depression or an anxiety disorder. Yet many women suffer in silence, unsure where to turn or whether what they're feeling is "normal."

Our counselling is designed specifically for this season. Whether you're navigating prenatal anxiety, struggling with postpartum depression, processing a difficult birth, or simply feeling overwhelmed by new parenthood, we provide compassionate, evidence-informed support tailored to your experience. Virtual sessions are available across Alberta, so geography is never a barrier to getting help.

Pregnancy Loss, Birth Trauma & Infertility Counselling
Some of the deepest grief in the perinatal world is the least spoken about. Miscarriage and stillbirth. Termination for medical reasons. A delivery that left you shaken, frightened, or feeling failed by your own body or by the system meant to care for you. The long ache of infertility — the monthly grief that others rarely see.
Counselling offers a place where these losses are treated as real losses. Whether your loss was recent or long ago, whether you are trying again, done trying, or somewhere uncertain in between — this grief deserves room, and you deserve support that understands the perinatal world from both its medical and its emotional side.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. Tully Counselling Psychology offers a free 15-minute virtual meet and greet. It is a short, no-obligation conversation with Leah — a chance to ask your questions, share what is bringing you to counselling, and decide whether it feels like the right fit before booking a full session. It is not a therapy session, and it can be held by video or phone.
What is prenatal and postpartum counselling?
Prenatal and postpartum counselling is specialized mental health support for women and families during pregnancy and the period after birth. It addresses emotional challenges such as anxiety, depression, birth trauma, identity shifts, and relationship changes. In Edmonton and across Alberta, it is available both in-person and virtually.
Do you offer postpartum depression counselling in Edmonton?
Yes. We provide counselling specifically for postpartum depression (PPD) and postpartum anxiety for mothers in Edmonton and throughout Alberta. Sessions are available virtually, so you can access support from home — which is especially helpful in those early weeks with a newborn.
Do you offer counselling after miscarriage or stillbirth?
Yes. Counselling for pregnancy loss — including miscarriage, stillbirth, and termination for medical reasons — is a dedicated part of this practice, along with support for birth trauma and infertility grief. Sessions are available in-person in Edmonton and virtually across Alberta, whenever you are ready.
When should I start prenatal or postpartum counselling?
There is no wrong time. Some women begin during pregnancy to prepare emotionally, while others seek help weeks or months after birth. Postpartum depression and anxiety can emerge at any point in the first year — and sometimes beyond. It is never too late to reach out for support.
Is online perinatal counselling available across Alberta?
Yes. Virtual counselling sessions are available to clients throughout Alberta, including Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, Lethbridge, and surrounding areas. Online sessions offer the same quality of care with the added comfort and convenience of meeting from your own home.
Can my partner join postpartum counselling sessions?
Yes — couples and family sessions are available. The transition to parenthood affects the whole family unit, and involving a partner can be a meaningful part of the healing and adjustment process.
Is what I share in counselling kept confidential?
Absolutely. Everything shared in sessions is strictly confidential, in accordance with professional and legal standards in Alberta. Exceptions are limited to situations involving serious risk of harm, which will always be discussed openly with you.
