Parenting Psychologists and Therapists in Annerley, QLD
I work with women navigating pregnancy, new motherhood, and the transition into parenthood. My clients are often experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, guilt, loss of confidence, or a sense of not recognising themselves anymore. Some have a clear sense that something isn't right. Others just feel like they're not coping the way they expected to.
I also see adults broadly for general mental health concerns.
I hold a PhD in the psychology of becoming a mother and a Master of Psychology. I'm a mum of three and a Member of the Australian Psychological Society. My special interest is perinatal and maternal mental health.

Relationship counselling, parenting issues, life and career transitions, depression and anxiety, death dying and bereavement, reproduction issues and any life matters you are needing to talk through and gain insight and understanding of.
Feeling tired, anxious or unsure about things can be overwhelming as the head talk gets louder, and we go into problem-solving-thought mode and we can become unclear about what the problem is. This cycle doesn't solve anything or give us clarity, it keeps nurturing the niggles and the feelings become the worries! So essentially, we start worrying about worrying and can get overwhelmed. This kind of free floating or anticipatory anxiety, doesn’t help to give us clarity or form a plan or move us forward. Instead, it takes up precious air-time and removes us from our connections, our relationships, our plans and our motivations.

My approach is warm, person-centred, and grounded in listening deeply and walking alongside you at your own pace. I work with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, grief and loss, emotional overwhelm, and relationship or family concerns. I offer counselling in English and Filipino (Tagalog).

Hello, fellow sensitive person. Do you find yourself stuck in overthinking, anxiety, or thought loops that won’t quiet? Maybe you’re hard on yourself, even though you know it only adds to the strain. In a world that often feels uncertain and overwhelming, this is a very human response. And if being more sensitive than others feels tiring, you’re certainly not alone. Together, we can gently explore your experience and find new ways to respond. With practice, you can develop a steadier, kinder inner voice to rely on. We are all perfectly imperfect humans, and I’ll meet you with compassion as we take this one step at a time.

I specialise in working with couples, and those experiencing stress and mental health challenges (including drug/alcohol issues). Hello and welcome! My name is Fiona and I have been a counsellor and psychotherapist for 10 years. Our journey through life often doesn't go to plan and we sometimes feel 'derailed' from our desired path. Things may feel unbalanced and unworkable, resulting in great distress and difficulty. With a warm, empathetic and collaborative style, I support clients to identify and work on problematic thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviours. Building a strong therapeutic connection is critical to this process.

I work with adults and older adolescents experiencing chronic stress, anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep disruption, as well as those living with chronic health conditions, burnout, and neurodevelopmental diagnoses (including ADHD and Autism). Many are managing strain across work or study, relationships, and daily functioning, often alongside patterns of sustained effort, high standards, and self-reliance. While effective in the short term, these patterns can become difficult to maintain, contributing to exhaustion, disrupted sleep, reduced capacity, and difficulty with decision-making or maintaining momentum.

At times, therapy can involve vulnerability and emotional intensity; while at other times, it can be playful and enlightening. My approach is practical and empathic.

When you’ve been carrying stress for a long time, it can feel like you're just surviving — disconnected from yourself, from others, and from the life you want to live. The body often speaks through unease, tension, or symptoms like anxiety, burnout, sleep issues, or chronic pain. These are not signs of failure — they’re messages asking for your attention and care.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
