Theresa Gulliver,
Perinatal Counsellor
Your compassionate guide through the unexpected challenges of pregnancy and parenthood. As a PMH-C certified specialist and mother who navigated her own perinatal struggles, Theresa combines professional expertise with deep personal understanding.
When Parenthood Feels Nothing Like You Expected.
You imagined this time as being different. Instead of parental joy and contentment, anxiety and sleeplessness are getting in the way. Instead of connection, you’re feeling isolated and the strain on your relationships. But despite these sorts of pregnancy and postpartum struggles, know that you are not the only new parent who is struggling, and that helpful guidance is available.
As a mother herself, Theresa knows that “nothing tests your stamina and sanity as much as motherhood.” After experiencing her own challenging transition to parenthood, she completed a Master’s in Counselling Psychology and became a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C)—all to help others become the parents they want to be.
Professional Knowledge Meets Personal Understanding
Her holistic approach draws from:
- Evidence-based practices including somatic attachment, IFS, CBT, and EFT
- Ecological and Indigenous community values emphasizing connection and healing
- Personal experience navigating the unexpected challenges of early parenthood
- Specialized training in perinatal mental health disorders
Working with Theresa, you’ll:
- Navigate prenatal and postpartum mental wellness with a skilled counsellor who knows the terrain
- Strengthen your relationship as a couple through major family transitions
- Develop practical tools that align with your unique situation and values
- Return to feelings of calm, confidence, and personal strength
Theresa’s Mission Is Clear
“To empower you through safety, guidance and tools so you can move through this time with more calm and confidence, feeling less anxious and more supported.”
Ready To Replace Overwhelm With Empowerment?
The early parenthood challenges are real, but so is your capacity for growth. Expect Theresa to meet you where you are with empathy, respect, deep listening and practical guidance. Because when you feel safe, heard, and understood, you can discover the parent you’re meant to be.
