Integrative Baby Therapy (IBT)
Integrative Baby Therapy (IBT) begins with a simple understanding: babies are deeply aware and sensitive from the very start, and the experiences they have in the womb and during birth can leave lasting impressions. Sometimes, unsettled crying, restlessness, colic or difficulties with sleeping and feeding are linked to these early moments that haven’t yet been fully resolved.
​
Through gentle observation, you can learn to recognise your baby’s ‘body language’ and understand the difference between a cry that comes from the present — such as hunger, tiredness, or boredom — and a ‘memory cry’, which speaks of something earlier.​
Drawing on many years of research in the field of pre- and perinatal psychology, IBT offers babies a way to work through and integrate these early experiences. By following your baby’s own natural rhythms and impulses, the therapy supports their ability to self-regulate, especially where this has been disrupted.
​
Everything we do is with your permission and involvement. You are part of the process every step of the way. At its heart, IBT gives your baby the space to ‘tell their story’ and offers you a non-judgemental place to explore your own feelings. In this shared journey, many families find themselves more at ease, more connected, and more able to enjoy one another in ways they hadn’t imagined before.
