Psychotherapy—often referred to as talk therapy—is a structured, client-centred process designed to help individuals navigate emotional, psychological, and behavioural challenges. At Aim to Recover, psychotherapy is provided by accredited psychoanalytic therapist Dr. Caitriona King, who offers specialised care around pregnancy, childbirth, trauma, and postpartum wellbeing.
Sessions explore unconscious patterns, early childhood experiences, and life events that may be influencing present-day thoughts, behaviours, and emotions. For many women, the journey of pregnancy and motherhood brings up unresolved fears, birth trauma, or emotional overwhelm. Psychotherapy offers a safe and supportive space to work through these issues, helping clients prepare for birth or process postnatal experiences.
Dr. King also works with fathers navigating emotional strain, identity shifts, or feelings of helplessness around the perinatal period. Sessions may include relaxation techniques, visualisation, and dream work, and can complement physical therapies like yoga or massage. The goal is to provide emotional clarity, healing, and a stronger foundation for parenting and personal growth.
