Individual Therapy and Support
Are you interested in seeking therapeutic support for yourself as a new or seasoned parent, as a couple who are navigating pregnancy or parenthood, or tailored support for your infant or young child?
This might involve support with:
-
Your developing connection and relationship with your baby- reading your baby's cues; settling support and strategies; reclaiming your intuition as a parent; adjusting to the transition from hospital to home with your pre-term/medically compromised baby
-
Parenting support and coaching- dealing with anxiety, stress, feelings of guilt or shame as a parent; navigating changes in your relationship post-baby; negotiating a new identity across pregnancy and into motherhood
-
Developmental support for your baby- tailored early intervention based music therapy for infants with a diagnosed disability and/or developmental delay (NDIS/ECIS options)
-
Building musical resources for yourself across pregnancy and into parenthood- support to access and use music as an empowering resource for coping and wellbeing across your pregnancy, birth preparation and into the post-partum
