Rediscover yourself, and each other, through the transition to parenthood.
Specialist individual and couples therapy for the transition to parenthood in Sheffield & online.
Welcome to Philos Psychology.
I’m Dr Helen Lewis, an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist.
I specialise in what parenthood asks of people; of who they are individually, and of who they are to each other.
Having a baby changes everything. It changes how you see yourself, how you relate to your partner, and sometimes how the past shows up in ways you didn't expect. That can look like distance where there used to be closeness, patterns that feel impossible to shift, or an experience of birth that still sits heavily, in ways that can be hard to put into words.
This is the work I do, and it tends to reach further than people expect. When the patterns that bring someone to therapy begin to shift, the ripple effects move outward: into how we parent, how we love, and what we pass on.
Let’s work together.
Weekly therapy
Regular, ongoing sessions for couples whose relationship has been strained by the shift into parenthood, and for individuals working through trauma, including the kind that a birth experience can leave behind.
Intensive Therapy
Concentrated work over one or more days — for people who want to go deep in a dedicated space, without spreading the work across months of weekly sessions.
Preparing for Parenthood (coming soon)
A workshop for couples in the months before a baby arrives to help you build the foundations that make the transition easier to navigate together.
