Emma Mathews

Specialist in Birth Trauma & Perinatal PTSD

BSc Reproductive and sexual health, PG Dip CBT, PG Dip Psychosexual Therapy, MSc Psychological Trauma, RM

I am an accredited psychotherapist, Registered Midwife and EMDR Europe Accredited Consultant specialising in the treatment of post-traumatic stress following traumatic birth.

With over 20 years’ experience in NHS midwifery, perinatal mental health and psychosexual services, I offer advanced assessment and evidence-based treatment for PTSD related to emergency caesarean, instrumental delivery, obstetric emergencies, birth injury and distressing experiences of care.

My dual training in midwifery and psychological trauma provides an in-depth understanding of both the clinical context of childbirth and the mechanisms of trauma. I integrate EMDR with trauma-focused CBT, compassion focused therapy and schema therapy, delivering structured, individually tailored treatment.

I also work with partners affected by traumatic birth and provide specialist psychosexual therapy for sexual difficulties that develop following trauma, including pain, avoidance, loss of desire and relational strain.

Sessions are available in my Wirral clinic and remotely via Zoom.
