Anxiety in Pregnancy
Pregnancy is often seen as a joyful time, but for many expectant parents, it can also bring worry, uncertainty, and anxiety. You may find yourself overwhelmed by fears about your health, the baby’s wellbeing, the birth itself, or how life will change after your baby arrives. These feelings are more common than people often realise – and you don’t have to face them alone.
At Circle Psychology Partners, we offer sensitive, non-judgemental support for those experiencing anxiety during pregnancy. Whether this is your first baby or you’ve been through pregnancy before, we’re here to listen, understand, and help you feel more grounded and confident.
Common experiences of antenatal anxiety include:
Excessive worry about the baby’s health
Fear of giving birth (tokophobia)
Intrusive thoughts or constant “what if” worries
Difficulty sleeping or relaxing
Panic attacks or physical symptoms of anxiety
Anxiety triggered by previous birth trauma or loss
We use evidence-based approaches, including compassion-focused therapy (CFT), cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based strategies to gently support you through pregnancy. We’ll help you develop tools to manage anxious thoughts, build emotional resilience, and feel more connected to yourself and your baby.
If you’re feeling anxious in pregnancy, know that it’s okay to ask for support. We’re here to help you feel calmer, stronger, and more prepared for the journey ahead.
Our qualified team of therapists are dedicated and ready to help you overcome your anger. Feel free to book an initial consultation today to start your therapy journey.
