Individual Therapy for the Parenting Journey

Specialised psychological therapy for māmā and birthing parents throughout their journey – from preconception through postpartum and beyond.

I provide evidence-based support for mental health challenges during matrescence or the perinatal period, recognising that these experiences result from a complex interplay of factors rather than personal failings.

These factors can include issues like hormonal changes, nutritional depletion, sleep deprivation, birth experiences (including trauma), past psychological history, relationship dynamics, societal pressures, limited support systems and more. By addressing this full spectrum of influences, we create a truly holistic approach to maternal and perinatal wellbeing.

What to expect:

  • Comprehensive assessment of the multiple different factors affecting your wellbeing - such as sleep, trauma history, physical symptoms, support structures and more..

  • Evidence-based strategies for responding to anxiety, depression and other mood concerns specific to the perinatal period and motherhood journey

  • Tools for navigating identity shifts, relationship changes and the complex emotions of new parenthood

  • Support for processing birth experiences and preparing for future births

  • Guidance for developing authentic and values-aligned parenting approaches

  • Recognition of how broader factors - from media portrayals to parental leave policies - shape your daily experience

  • Referral to other specialists to ensure you get full circle care for postnatal depletion, including nutrition support and blood testing where appropriate

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, babies are welcome. I'm comfortable with feeding, settling, changing and the natural and normal interruptions that come with having a little one present. Please note, pram access can be challenging as we have one flight of stairs and no lift access. If you need help with the pram please let me know in advance and I will come downstairs to help you.

  • I exclusively work with adults, but I recognise that maternal mental health is deeply interconnected with infant and child wellbeing. While I don't provide direct therapeutic services to children, I take a whānau-centred approach that acknowledges these important attachment relationships. I can help mothers understand their children's developmental needs, support healthy parent-child relationships and address parenting challenges within the context of maternal wellbeing.

    For direct therapeutic work with children and adolescents, I maintain strong professional relationships with child psychologists and other specialists. I can facilitate warm referrals to ensure your whole family receives the appropriate support and with your consent, can collaborate with these providers to ensure a cohesive approach to your family's wellbeing.

  • I don't offer traditional couples therapy. My practice focuses on individual therapy support, though I welcome whānau/family members or support people into sessions as part of a client's holistic therapeutic journey —always with the client's prior consent and when it serves their individual therapeutic goals.

  • If your needs would be better served by another provider, I'm happy to help connect you with appropriate resources and professionals.

  • I require at least 24 hours notice for cancellations. If you cancel with less than 24 hours notice, 75% of the session fee will be charged. I understand that emergencies happen, particularly with children, so please communicate as soon as possible if you need to reschedule.

  • You can self-refer by contacting me directly—no GP referral is required. If you are referred by another health professional, with your consent, I can provide them with progress updates as appropriate. I also welcome referrals from employers, though confidentiality remains with you, the client.

  • I recognise the significant impact neurodiversity can have on the parenting experience and maternal wellbeing. I provide a supportive space for neurodivergent mothers and birthing individuals, or parents of neurodivergent children, to explore how their unique experiences shape their parenting journey.

    While neurodiversity and neurodevelopmental assessments are not my primary specialisation, I can help you navigate the emotional aspects of diagnosis (whether your own or your child's), develop strategies that honour neurodivergent needs within family dynamics and address the additional societal pressures often placed on neurodivergent families. When specialised assessments, specific interventions or coaching are needed, I can refer you to appropriate neurodiversity specialists while continuing to support your maternal wellbeing.

  • Prior to our first session, you'll receive privacy and consent paperwork electronically. This outlines how your information is stored, the limits of confidentiality and your rights as a client. All information shared in our sessions remains confidential, with legal exceptions only in cases of serious risk of harm to yourself or others, or when required by court order.

  • I accept direct bank transfers currently. Sessions are invoiced on the day. Payment is expected on the day of the appointment unless other arrangements have been made in advance.

  • Paid parking is available in Montgomery Carpark near the clinic.

  • Where appropriate I provide resources for use between sessions and am sometimes available for brief check-ins via email. For urgent concerns that arise between appointments, please refer to the crisis resources listed on the Contact page.

  • Yes, I offer secure video sessions for clients who prefer this format or are unable to attend in-person appointments.
