Staying Connected Through Parenthood - Session 1
Join Clinical Psychologist & Couples Therapist Dr Katherine Mollart
An 8-session relationship course for parents
Because your relationship deserves as much care as your children do.
We spend months preparing for pregnancy, birth and becoming parents, and most of us attend an antenatal course. Yet very few of us are prepared for what happens to our relationship afterwards.
The sleepless nights. The endless mental load. The constant juggling of work, children and home. The feeling that you’ve become teammates—but have lost sight of each other as partners.
