Perinatal and Infant Mental Health

I have a deep passion for supporting parents throughout the journey of pregnancy, birth and parenting—recognising that while it can be incredibly beautiful, it can also be deeply challenging. 

During the postpartum period, many parents seek mental health support for a range of reasons, including anxiety, depression, mood instability, shifts in identity and relationships, and feelings of isolation. 

Others may be navigating unplanned parenthood, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, traumatic birth experiences . For some, this time can also resurface past trauma, or preexisting mental health difficulties may become harder to manage.

The perinatal period brings both vulnerability and opportunity. For many, becoming a parent can stir up emotions tied to their own early experiences. But it can also be a powerful time for healing, growth, and breaking intergenerational cycles—a chance to create a new legacy.

Holistic mental health support during this crucial time might include:

• Individual therapy
  
• Parenting support, including Circle of Security and Possums Neurodevelopmental Care
   
• Parent-infant or parent-child therapy to support attachment and early development
   
• Support in connecting with community resources and building your village
