Birth Debriefing
Auckland & Online
Birth debriefing gives you an opportunity to talk openly and honestly about your experience of birth, with someone who is trained to support you in telling your story, so that your story is heard and acknowledged.
Birth debriefing can help you make sense of not only the events that happened during and surrounding your birth but also the array of deep emotions and feelings that went with it and still continue.
​
It is not uncommon for women and men to experience strong ongoing emotions but have trouble recognising exactly what those are, leading to difficulties in moving forward. Guilt, shame, failure, anxiety, anger can all be experienced in the months and years following a birth, particularly when the experience goes unprocessed with unanswered questions. Even more so when surrounding family and friends don’t seem to understand your perspective of your birth.
​
Debriefing with a trauma-informed, experienced counsellor can give you the support you need to fill in gaps, and integrate the experience of your birth into your life without these troubling emotions continuing.
Who is birth debriefing for?
Birth debriefing is for anyone who feels they may be affected by the experience of birth. We support both individuals and couples to debrief their birth.
For many mums, deep feelings of failure, loss of control, insignificance, or danger follow on from a traumatic birth experience.
​
Partners enter the birth space baring witness to their partner experiencing intense physical and emotional distress, which often leads to them feeling somewhat helpless in protecting them. This, compounded with fear of the unknown, lack of communication from medical staff, and potential medical emergencies can leave dads feeling traumatised. The want to stay strong to support their partner and new baby can add to feelings of distress, isolation, anxiety, confusion or failure.
As a couple, you may find these emotions and responses are impacting your relationship, your connection, and your communication.
​
Birth debriefing can help you make sense of your perspective of the birth, clarify events and feelings, provide answers to questions, and provide tools for moving forward.
Birth Debriefing
Is it too late?
Most women and men don’t seek support for their birth experience straight away. Some months after, some years after their birth.
And that’s ok.
​
Birth can affect mums and dads in ways that may not surface early in parenting, or it may be difficult to even acknowledge its impact until much later on. Logistics, survival mode, numbness, shock, avoidance… there are many reasons for this.
​
But there is no right or wrong time to access support for your birth experience. It is never too late to speak with someone about your birth.
HOW IT WORKS
No matter where you’re speaking to us from, whether you’re speaking with us online or sitting with us in-person, we support you to tell your story, piecing together your experience and the thoughts and emotions you have surrounding each part of it.
​
We will work to gently unravel the meanings your birth holds for you, the pieces that cause difficulties for you, the questions you need answers for, and how you may begin to heal moving forward.
​
At the end of the session we may set out a recommended pathway for further trauma processing through counselling or hypnotherapy therapy if needed.
​
The session itself is up to 2 hours.
Pricing:
Individuals $290 (Up to 2 hours)
Couples $330 (Up to 2 hours)
​
Sessions take place online from the comfort of your own home or at the clinic.
I only take a few clients each month so if you want to take steps towards positive future reach out today and we can arrange a FREE Consultation.

"I am incredibly grateful for the profound transformation I experienced through Donna Cox's hypnotherapy sessions. As someone who had been struggling with deep-rooted patterns and limiting beliefs, I was initially skeptical about the power of hypnosis. However, Donna Cox's expertise and calming presence immediately put me at ease.
From the very first session, I was amazed at how deeply I could access my subconscious mind and explore the underlying causes of my challenges. Donna Cox's skillful guidance and gentle voice created a safe and nurturing environment, allowing me to release old traumas, fears, and negative thought patterns that were holding me back.
Through Donna's hypnotherapy techniques, I was able to reprogram my subconscious mind with positive and empowering beliefs. The shifts I experienced were truly remarkable. I felt more confident, self-assured, and in control of my own life. I was finally able to let go of the past and step into a brighter, more fulfilling future.
What sets Donna apart is her ability to customise each session to my specific needs. She took the time to understand my goals and desires, and through her intuitive approach, she crafted sessions that resonated deeply with me. I always felt supported, understood, and guided throughout the entire process.
I cannot recommend Donna Cox's hypnotherapy services enough.
