🧠Why Maternal Anxiety Is More Common Than You Think - with Psychotherapist Laura Greenwood
Laura Greenwood is a BABCP-accredited Psychotherapist and Maternal Mental Health Coach, registered with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). She specialises in supporting mothers experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, anger, and emotional burnout during pregnancy and throughout the parenting journey. Drawing on evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Laura helps mothers understand the psychological and biological shifts that occur during early parenthood while developing practical coping strategies. Her work focuses on compassionate, non-judgemental support that empowers mothers to recognise their needs, access help, and rebuild emotional balance.
In this video, you can discover how maternal anxiety is partly rooted in evolutionary and biological changes in the brain during pregnancy, why hypervigilance can be a protective instinct, and how certain life experiences and lack of support can increase the intensity of these feelings. This video also explores when seeking support can make a meaningful difference.
