Dione Rousseau Pregnancy & Postpartum Mental Health Counselling
Dione Rousseau, RPC-C
Hi, I'm Dione.
Having a child is the biggest, most challenging, emotionally, physically and spiritually impactful event we will face in our lives. The bigness and unexpected feelings and hurdles that come with the perinatal period are inevitable. There is no amount information that we can attain that can truly prepare us for what we will experience in this journey. Without sensitive and compassionate support from people who understand, we can be left in a continuous cycle of difficult feelings and experiences.
​
Having a safe outlet to express these feelings and give voice to all parts of us can be immensely relieving and healing in itself. When a safe space is created for you by a compassionate professional who is there to listen and help you navigate these experiences through tried and true modalities, this can provide you with the foundation you need to make sense of your experience, heal and find your path forward with a sense of empowerment and self-confidence.

As a Registered Counsellor and a mom who has gone through a perinatal journey of my own, I have an acute awareness of the amount of sensitivity that's needed to hold space for individuals in the perinatal period whom I hold immense respect and compassion for. I have been practicing since 2019 serving people dealing with a wide range of life challenges. I'm Perinatal Mental Health trained with Postpartum Support International and this is where my passion lies.
I know that a large part of a healing experience and feeling safe entails resonating and connecting with the counsellor - this is why I offer a free 20 minute consultation for us to meet, for you to ask any questions you may have and to determine suitability for the therapeutic relationship.
