Relationship Therapy Adelaide

Couples Counselling 

Targeted relationship counselling for pregnant and/or parenting couples navigating the transition to parenthood. The transition to parenthood can be tough on even the strongest relationship and since the relationship between caregivers plays an important role in the social and emotional development and wellbeing of children, addressing these challenges can be an important step in creating a happy, connected and healthy family. I am a trained Gottman "Bringing Baby Home” Educator and use this framework to provide the tools couples need to be the best parents they can be, providing sensitive and responsive parenting, while maintaining the quality of their relationship.

Mum and Baby Therapy Adelaide

Parenting Support

Advice and support for parents interested in supporting the social and emotional development of their infants and children, and/or struggling with parenting skills such as behaviour intervention, supporting development, routine, bonding and play. I work with parents to gain a clear understanding of their child's needs, the wider families needs and the parents own parenting goals and combine this with my knowledge of child development and parenting strategies to find solutions that are tailored, evidence based and achievable. Parenting support sessions can either be adults only advice based sessions, or hands on with you and your child together in clinic. Parenting support sessions are aimed at parents of children from newborn through to junior primary age.

Pregnancy Counselling Adelaide

Pregnancy Counselling

I offer unbiased, non-judgemental and evidence based information to clients considering their options regarding an unplanned pregnancy or a pregnancy with unexpected complications.
