Perinatal Counselling
Parenthood doesn’t always begin the way we imagined.
The perinatal period can bring a mix of emotions; joy, exhaustion, grief, anxiety, and deep uncertainty. You might be adjusting to new parenthood, feeling disconnected, grieving a loss, or struggling with postnatal depression or anxiety.
At Olive Counselling, I offer a compassionate space to gently explore whatever you're carrying, from the quiet grief of what didn’t go to plan, to the overwhelming emotions of early parenthood.
You don’t have to go through this alone. Together, we’ll work to ease your symptoms, make room for your needs, and support a secure, nurturing bond between you and your baby, in whatever form your journey takes.
Perinatal counselling is availabe in person at Warners Bay at the BCP Hub and Toronto NSW as well as online Australia wide.
Parenting
Being a parent or carer is one of the most rewarding jobs, but here at Olive Counselling we recognise that it can also be challenging. Using Circle of Security Olive Counselling provides support and guidance to parents and carers to help them develop rich bonds with their children and feel confident with their parenting skills.
Mental Health: Depression & Anxiety
Life can feel heavy at times.
Depression, anxiety, and fear are deeply human experiences but they can leave you feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected from the life you want to live.
At Olive Counselling, I offer a supportive and collaborative space to gently explore what matters most to you. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s getting in the way, reconnect with your values, and take meaningful steps toward a life that feels more grounded, rich, and aligned with who you are.
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma can leave deep and lasting imprints, emotionally, physically, and relationally.
At Olive Counselling, I offer a safe, respectful space for those who have experienced trauma, including domestic violence and both recent and past sexual assault.
I understand that trauma affects everyone differently, and that your responses, whatever they may be are valid. Together, we’ll move at your pace, working gently toward healing, safety, and growth.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
