Career decision making is an important part of mental health and wellbeing.
Career counselling increases self-awareness to support education/training and employment decision making. Knowing our strengths, interests, values and life goals helps us with making better choices that supports our lives and mental health.
I can help you deal with relationship difficulties, infertility/sub-fertility and the transition to parenthood.
One in ten women experience antenatal depression and anxiety during pregnancy. For many this is painful and isolating. I provide support for anxiety, perinatal loss, post-termination distress, transitioning to parenthood and preparing for labour. Fathers/partners are warmly invited to sessions to prepare for parenthood.
More than one in seven new mums experience postnatal depression and anxiety. I provide help for coping with birth trauma, attachment and bonding issues, parenting skills, coping with disabilities, and exploring return-to-work options. Fathers/partners and babies are warmly welcome to sessions to improve understanding of family based issues and to aid the therapeutic process for the entire family.
Bumpanxiety aims to provide a warm, safe, neuro-affirming and accepting space in supporting and empowering women of different cultures in creating a better future by: enhancing self-care and improving psychological wellbeing, gaining clarity around career direction, nurturing relationships and improving their overall quality of life.
The hope is for a better future where:

– women harness their strengths, values and interests
– rights are acknowledged
– there is equal opportunity and pay
to ensure sound mental health and wellbeing.
