Birth Debriefs
At Birthing Belonging, our birth debrief sessions offer a safe and supportive opportunity to reflect
Service Description
Birth can have a lasting impact on everyone involved, and taking time to talk about it can be an important part of healing and understanding. At Birthing Belonging, our birth debrief sessions offer a safe and supportive opportunity to reflect on your experience of birth. In line with the COPE (2023) Guidelines for the Perinatal Mental Health, our approach is trauma-informed, reflective, and person-centred. We recognise that anyone involved in a birth can be affected, including the birthing person, partners, parents, families, their support circle, midwives, doctors and other health professionals (including students). These sessions are not therapy, but a supportive space to explore and make sense of your experience. Together, we explore what happened, how it felt, and what might help you feel supported moving forward. Where appropriate, I can help identify trusted pathways for additional care or counselling. Who facilitates the Debrief? I'm Becky, an AHPRA-registered midwife with additional mental health and trauma informed care training. I have experience supporting families and clinicians through complex and emotionally challenging experiences. I bring both clinical insight and compassion to this work, creating a space where you can feel safe, heard, and respected. How much do debriefs cost? These sessions are one hour and have an investment of $100 (noting there may be additional costs for in person sessions due to travel). If cost is a barrier, please let me know, as I can offer some sessions free of charge. Where do the debriefs take place? Debriefs can take place either online or in person. You can book an online debrief via our website using this form. If you would like to arrange an in person debrief at your home please email Becky@birthingbelonging.com.au (note: this does have an additional travel cost).
