Support for anxiety during pregnancy in Geelong

Specialist antenatal anxiety care in Drysdale, Geelong and across Australia

Experiencing anxiety in pregnancy is more common than many people realise. While pregnancy is often expected to be a joyful time, it can also bring uncertainty, fear and heightened emotional sensitivity. Concerns about your baby’s health, birth outcomes, physical changes and future parenting responsibilities can contribute to persistent worry and emotional overwhelm.

At Happy Minds Psychology, we provide compassionate and evidence-based pregnancy anxiety counselling in a safe and supportive space where you can explore your feelings. Working with an experienced antenatal anxiety psychologist, you will feel heard, validated, and guided in building practical strategies to manage your anxious thoughts, physical symptoms, and stress. Our care is grounded in evidence-based research, guided by compassion, and tailored to your needs and pace.

Understanding anxiety during pregnancy

Anxiety in pregnancy may present as excessive worry, racing thoughts, sleep disturbance, panic symptoms or intrusive fears. Some individuals may have a history of anxiety, while others experience it for the first time during the antenatal period.

Our approach includes structured perinatal anxiety therapy, tailored to the emotional and physiological changes occurring during pregnancy. Therapy provides practical strategies and emotional support, offering meaningful support for anxiety during pregnancy in a safe and non-judgemental space.
