Our Services

Not sure where to begin? That’s ok! Have a read of the different services we provide and if you are unsure, send an email enquiry and we will help you find the best fit. Naturally, the services I provide may overlap a little. If you book one type of appointment and it ends up focusing more on something else, that’s

Counselling

My services are open to parents of all genders, or anyone providing care to an infant or toddler aged 0-3 years. I draw on many approaches and therapeutic interventions in my practice, including trauma informed practice, strengths based practice, family systems theory, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I also have the lived experience of conceiving through IVF, raising my daughter in a same sex parent family, and deeply understand the wonderful and challenging nature of new parenting. 

I can help you work through things like:

  • Infertility and trying to conceive

  • The journey to conception using donor sperm, eggs or a surrogate 

  • Raising children in a Rainbow Family 

  • General support during pregnancy

  • Postpartum and the transition to new parenting 

Additionally, I offer counselling support to authorised carers (family/kinship and foster carers) who have taken on care of infants or toddlers. I provide education and therapeutic support that is trauma informed and focuses on healing through nurtured parenting.

Counselling sessions are $130 per 50 minute session. You can book as many as you need.

Sleep & settling support

Bringing a new baby home is overwhelming! If you are finding it difficult to settle your baby, or would like advice on sleep, then these appointments are for you. 

I can help you with:

  • Understanding biologically normal infant sleep 

  • What to do when babies cry a lot 

  • Adjusting your expectations for infant and toddler sleep and behaviour

  • Working with biology to improve sleep

  • Maximising your sleep and wellbeing as a parent

  • Using acceptance and commitment therapy strategies to get joy out of this new season 

  • Finding and getting the most out of your village 

Sleep & settling consults are $120 per session. They can be one off, or you can book a follow up if required.

The sleep and settling advice I use is in line with the ethos of the NDC Possums Program. I do not use sleep training or any other first wave behavioural techniques. My approach to infant sleep is focused on connection, building a secure attachment, and making life easier for all of you.
