Counselling & Parenting Support
Does this sound familiar?
You often find yourself...
Feeling overwhelmed sometimes in motherhood?
Finding it hard to juggle meeting your own needs while also caring for others?
Worrying about how your feelings and behaviours affect your child?
Feeling angry, resentful or burnt out?
Struggling with mum guilt and not feeling good enough?
Wishing you could have someone hold space for you and focus on your needs for once?
Motherhood is transformative, and while it is filled with so much joy and love, there are often many challenges to navigate along the journey.
Our other life stressors also don't just stop when we become mums. And navigating them while caring for young children can be really demanding.
Support is key for mothers to thrive, and yet so many of us don't have somewhere that we can openly talk about our experiences. This is the space I provide with you.

What I can offer you in counselling
In our sessions, I want to provide you with an opportunity for reflection and to focus on your own needs, feelings and experiences. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, have had some challenges in your life recently, are looking for some tools to help you feel more on top of things or simply want a safe space to talk about all the things that feel hard - I'm here for you.
Together, we can focus on nurturing your emotional health, and I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches when working with you, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
When supporting you with your parenting, I focus on helping you to develop deeper connections with your child and respond to them with confidence. Whether it's big feelings, tricky behaviors or keeping yourself calm in the chaos - we can work together to help you parent in a way that feels aligned with your values.
My counselling services are offered online, meaning that no matter where you are in Australia you can connect with me from the comfort of your own home.
Things that I can help with.
I have had the honour of working with hundreds of mothers across my career, and these are some of the things that I have helped those women with that you may like to explore.
Please know that these are just a few examples, and that I am here to support you with any challenges that may arise for you in motherhood.
- Reducing feelings of guilt, failure and overwhelm.

- Gaining confidence in your parenting instincts.
- Managing stress (this may be related to motherhood, or everyday life stress).
- Reconnecting with your identity after motherhood.
- Embracing imperfection.
- Getting your needs met, setting boundaries and assertiveness.
- Managing the mental load with more ease and clarity.
- Relationship changes and stress, including feelings of resentment or anger.

Medicare Rebates
Providing you with accessible and affordable support is important to me, which is why Medicare rebates are available for birth debriefing and counselling sessions with a referral from your GP.
With this referral, you are entitled to 3 sessions that will attract a Medicare rebate of approximately $70 per session for eligible ladies.
You will need to pay the full fee for your session at the time of booking. Following your session with me, I will process your Medicare claim. Your rebate will then be paid into your bank account by Medicare (usually within a few business days).
To be eligible you must be currently pregnant, or have been pregnant at any time in the previous 12 months.
Getting Your GP Referral
You must obtain your GP referral before your appointment.
You can click below to download a copy of a referral form and the full details/eligibility criteria for the Medicare item number I use to claim which is 'non-directive pregnancy counselling'. Please note your GP can use their own template or referral form if they like, but need to ensure the referral is for me to provide the service.
Once you have your GP referral, please email me a copy at [email protected] along with your Medicare card details if they are not on the referral.
For any questions about accessing Medicare rebates for my services feel free to reach out to me via email or DM on Instagram.
