MY SERVICES

I offer online video counselling sessions for a range of challenges you may be experiencing as you navigate the perinatal period. 

​

Some of the common challenges I help mothers with include:

- pregnancy stress

- preparing emotionally for birth

- processing previous births

- adjusting to motherhood

- identity shifts

- relationship changes

- general parenting challenges.

​

We will work together to identify your goals, unpack your challenges and learn different evidence-based techniques to support your journey to thriving. I take a person-centred approach to counselling sessions, and use a variety of therapy modes such as cognitive behavioural, acceptance commitment, solution focused, mindfulness, somatic techniques and self-compassion.

​

A 60 minute session has a cost of $220 and a 90 minute session has a cost of $300. It is recommended that you book a 90 minute session for your initial appointment for us to delve into your goals and get to know each other. 

You do not need a referral to see a psychologist. You may be eligible to a Medicare rebate on up to 10 sessions per calendar year if you have a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP.

​

​

HypnoBirthing is a birth education class which aims to teach you mental and practical tools to prepare you for a positive birth experience. The HypnoBirthing International program is the original hypnobirthing class (The Mongan Method) and it teaches the philosophy that birth can be a physiological normal experience without fear or pain. It uses various techniques to empower and support you to achieve this such as visualisation, breath work, affirmations, education, birth planning and guided relaxations. It includes birth partner preparation, information for a positive fourth trimester (post-natal period) and empowers you to make informed decisions about your desired birth. 

 

HypnoBirthing is not just for first time parents. You may be preparing for your second or third birth and want to empower yourself with further education, desire a different birth this time around or would like to refresh the content and use the time to bond with your partner. 

I am currently offering private online education via video over 5 weekly 2.5 hour sessions. The investment of $1,050 includes the HypnoBirthing text book, parent workbook and relaxation mp3 recordings for daily practice. My offer also includes regular email check-ins between sessions as well as a 30 minute post birth video debrief session. Payment plans are available.

​

The benefit of learning in a private online space is that we can choose timings to suit your schedule (including out of hours and weekends), you can learn with your older children in the home and you can access the course if you live rural/remote. If you would like to learn with another couple in a small group please get in touch to discuss this option.

​

Please visit the HypnoBirthing International website if you would like to learn more. 

 

I combine my psychology and teaching knowledge with my personal homeschool experience to provide you with support for a range of unique homeschool challenges. 

This may include:

- understanding your child's unique learning needs

- managing and balancing conflicting needs of the family 

- mapping daily rhythms

- curriculum and practical ideas

- building confidence in your ability to homeschool

- recording real life learning 

- interest led learning

- emotional safety and regulation 

- creating a calm cooperative home

-strengthening parent/child connection

​

We will work together to understand what is working and what is not, your child's specific needs, your family values, what learning looks like for your family, clarity and self-trust in your decisions. These sessions differ from psychological support as they are educational in nature. If the need for further psychological support arises we can discuss a referral to an alternative appropriate service.

​

You can book a one off session or a block of regular appointments. Sessions cost $150 for 60 minutes. At the conclusion of our session you will receive an email summary of our consultation and any relevant follow up resources.
