The Foundation

What is perinatal and postpartum therapy?

Perinatal and postpartum mental health support cares for individuals during pregnancy and the first year after birth, helping navigate the emotional, psychological, and relational challenges that can arise. It addresses anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship changes, identity shifts, and the pressures of new parenthood, providing a safe space to process feelings, build coping strategies, and strengthen confidence in your parenting and self-care.

The transition into parenthood can awaken some of the most confronting parts of our internal world. This time in our lives can hold profound love and piercing loneliness; deep gratitude and resentment; boundless joy and extraordinary rage. Some parents find themselves both fiercely protective of their baby and utterly lost to themselves. Others find that intimate connection they envisioned having with their baby isn’t instant, leading to questions about their new role as a parent. These experiences aren’t signs of failure. They’re common, and they’re signs of the depth and complexity of what you’re living through.

In our work together, we make space for all of it: the endless exhaustion, the guilt that lingers, the quiet grief for who you used to be, and the frustration that no one seems to understand.

Perinatal and postpartum mental health support is available across the Gold Coast and Tweed Coast.

The reason

Why seek therapy at home?

Therapy during this period can feel like an absolute necessity, but it can also feel impossible to realistically access. Packing a baby bag, timing feeds and naps, or worrying whether your baby will stay quiet during a session adds unnecessary pressure. By coming to you, I hope to remove some of these barriers and meet you where you are: literally and emotionally. You don’t need to tidy up or perform. You can feed your baby, sit in your comfiest chair, and be as you are. My role is to create a space within the chaos that belongs just to you.

You may seek postpartum mental health support if these experiences feel familiar to you:

  • Depression & Anxiety: postpartum depression symptoms, postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts, constant worry, feeling emotionally “flat”

  • Overwhelm & Stress: burnout, sleep deprivation, struggling to cope, managing the mental load, feeling exhausted or stretched thin

  • Birth & Medical Trauma: traumatic birth, medical complications, NICU stays, difficulty processing the birth experience

  • Relationship & Communication Strain: tension with partner, support network challenges, communication breakdown, feelings of isolation

  • Identity & Self-Worth: loss of sense of self, difficulty adjusting to parenthood, feeling “not like myself,” identity shifts and matrescence

  • Feeding & Baby-Related Concerns: breastfeeding challenges, feeding pressure or guilt, anxiety about baby’s sleep, feeding, or development

Therapies That Work

My approach

More often than not, the reality of life with a new child changes our capacity entirely. My approach to perinatal and postpartum support is gentle, explorative, and respects that our nervous systems are holding more than we could have possibility imagined. The idea of therapy at this time is to make progress and forward movement, while being extremely aware of and respectful to need to not introduce more stress to your internal system.

  • Psychodynamic Therapy

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Capacity building

  • Supportive psychotherapy

  • Psychoeducation

  • Enhancing self-care practices in a realistic and manageable way

Your Therapy Journey

What to expect

Session Structure

Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes, held weekly or bi-weekly depending on your needs and preferences. We create a consistent schedule to support your progress.

Your Timeline

While in-home services are typically offered through the last months of pregnancy and the first year of your child’s life, this will be dependent on your needs, and often on your child’s temperament. The timeline is flexible.

Your Pace

There's no "right" way to do therapy. We move at a pace that is respectful to your nervous system, addressing what feels most important to you in each moment. You're always in control.

Confidentiality

Your privacy is of utmost importance. Everything discussed in therapy is completely confidential, with very limited legal exceptions (such as immediate danger to yourself or others).

Backed By Research

Why in-home therapy works

Reduced anxiety and depression

Home‑visiting interventions, especially for parents at higher risk of perinatal depression, have been shown to reduce symptoms of postpartum depression and improve maternal mental health by providing personalised support in the home environment.

Improved confidence

Studies measuring mother-infant bonding, responsiveness, and confidence in caregiving found benefits from home-based mental health support.

Realistic support

Home based support allows tailored guidance in a realistic context, which is linked to better adherence to mental health strategies and higher patient satisfaction.

Common concerns

  • Sessions are flexible to your needs and your baby’s needs. I work around your their routine, pausing or adjusting as needed. The focus is on your well-being, and we can integrate caregiving moments into the session rather than letting interruptions derail progress.

  • Sessions are typically offered on Tuesdays during the day, and Fridays or Saturdays outside standard hours. Once bookings are confirmed, a route and session time are provided, making it easy to fit the visit around your day. Some flexibility in booking time is required for this approach to therapy, and may not be suitable for all schedules.


  • Yes. I follow strict safety and hygiene protocols, and all sessions are designed to prioritise both your mental well-being and your baby’s safety.

  • I ensure we have a private, uninterrupted space, and all sessions follow strict professional confidentiality guidelines, just as they would in a clinic setting. I do not expect your parter to be home to care for the child during our sessions, as the purpose of in home visitation is to support you alongside your parenting role.

  • With a mental health care plan from your GP or psychiatrist, the out-of-pocket cost is the same as an in-clinic or online session. While the total session fee is higher, the Medicare rebate means you pay the same as you would for other types of therapy with me.

    This is possible because out-of-office consultations attract higher Medicare rebates, which the clinic absorbs to cover travel time.
