Therapy Approaches
Symon is an integrative and collaborative therapist, using a range of evidence-based approaches. Core to my practice are attachment-informed, trauma-informed, and neuroaffirming principles. I provide support across the perinatal period, including antenatal and postnatal mental health and wellbeing, birth preparation, and recovery from birth trauma. I also work with women outside the perinatal period who are seeking trauma treatment, parenting support, or wellbeing-focused support, as well as neurodivergent parents or parents supporting neurodivergent children.
