I have twenty years social work and counselling experience supporting adults with mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and trauma. With a calm presence, I offer compassion, warmth and validation to all people. I provide a safe space where you can process your thoughts, emotions and experiences, and learn evidence-based strategies to stop the mind-chatter, make positive changes, and create a life you enjoy.
I am a perinatal mental health specialist and certified baby sleep consultant. I will support you to prepare for birth and parenthood; manage anxiety and depression; improve sleep (yours and your child's); process your birth experience; support your decisions around feeding, and address mental health, parenting and relationship issues as they arise.
I offer a three session program antenatally on preparation for birth and parenthood, as well as postnatal support including baby sleep and settling. Rebate available under Medicare Non-directive Pregnancy Counselling up to 12 months postpartum. See your GP for a referral. Free copy of Pam Douglas' "The Discontented Little Baby Book" included on completion.
