About TokoClinic

TokoClinic is a specialized clinic for tokophobia (fear of childbirth) and pregnancy anxiety. If worries about childbirth are affecting your quality of life, sleep, focus, or decision-making, our goal is to make anxiety manageable and strengthen your sense of control and psychological safety. The treatment plan is designed step-by-step so results are not only short-term, and skills remain useful up to the time of birth.

What we help with

Intense fear of childbirth, repetitive catastrophic worries, panic attacks, physical anxiety symptoms (palpitations, shortness of breath, muscle tension), avoidance of talking about or making decisions around childbirth, and persistent pregnancy anxiety. If a previous birth experience was difficult or highly stressful, therapy can help reduce anxiety relapse and support mental readiness for pregnancy and birth.

Our therapeutic approach

Our approach is grounded in evidence-based, measurable methods while respecting the human experience of anxiety: we work with thoughts and beliefs, body responses, and emotions such as fear, shame, or helplessness.

Methods we use

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

Identifying anxious thoughts and fear-reinforcing behavior patterns, cognitive restructuring, reducing avoidance, and step-by-step exercises to manage anxiety and strengthen control.

CFT (Compassion-Focused Therapy)

Reducing self-criticism and mental pressure, strengthening self-compassion, and emotion regulation when anxiety is paired with guilt, shame, or persistent fears.

Hypnotherapy

Deep relaxation techniques, focused attention and safe imagery exercises, and retraining the body’s anxiety response to reduce tension and increase calm when thinking about childbirth.

Session-by-session path

The visit plan is usually staged. In many cases, key sessions are scheduled around pregnancy weeks 30, 32, and 34 so assessment, skill training, and consolidation can be done practically.
