MUMS do a LOT OF HOLDING. BUT WHO’S HOLDING YOU?
Motherhood is no easy transition and such a shift deserves the same level of support.
We believe that every mama deserves a compassionate, non-judgemental space to honour the huge impact of motherhood.
BECAUSE MAMA MATTERS.
“therapy is about understanding the self that you are. But part of getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself—to let go of the limiting stories you’ve told yourself about who you are so that you aren’t trapped by them, so you can live your life and not the story you’ve been telling yourself about your life.”
LORI GOTTLIEB, FROM HER BOOK “MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK TO SOMEONE”
Meet Samantha.
Samantha is passionate about supporting women in pregnancy, postpartum and throughout the early years of their children's life.
As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker she has additional knowledge and training in infant and parent mental health and attachment, and early intervention parenting support.
She's also a Circle of Security facilitator, to boot; and her gentle, compassionate approach will provide you with the warm, comfortable therapeutic space all mothers deserve.

A 60 minute session with Samantha is $180 and with a Mental Health Care Plan, you will get a Medicare rebate of $85.20 making your out of pocket cost $94.80.
Accredited Mental Health Social Workers (AMHSWs) are recognised providers with Medicare Australia and other programs (including BUPA). They have received accreditation to deliver mental health services utilising a range of evidence-based strategies. AMHSWs are highly trained and educated professionals, meeting some of the highest standards of professional regulation in Australia.
Like registered psychologists, AMHSW’s hold professional registration and provide evidence-based therapy, the main difference between the two being that AMHSW’s do not provide psychological testing.
Like seeing a psychologist, seeing an AMHSW is medicare rebated by accessing a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP (by seeing your GP face-to-face or via a phone or Telehealth appointment).
With a Mental Health Care Plan, you can access 10 Medicare rebated sessions per calendar year, with the above mentioned rebate per session
Meet HELENA.
Helena is here to help you navigate motherhood in a way that feels true to you. Down-to-earth and compassionate, she believes that every mother already has the inner wisdom and skills to be the parent she wants to be—sometimes it just takes a bit of support to bring it all to the surface. Helena will take the time to truly get to know you, hear your story, and shape therapy around your unique needs. Her approach is all about building a strong relationship and meeting you where you are, not following a one-size-fits-all plan.
While Helena brings expertise in areas like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills, she’s far from rigid in her approach. She’ll share tools and insights at a pace that feels right, empowering you to reconnect with your strengths and find a sense of calm and confidence in your parenting journey. As a Circle of Security facilitator and mum herself, Helena truly understands the ups and downs of motherhood—she’s here to support you, not judge you, every step of the way.

Accredited Mental Health Social Workers (AMHSWs) are recognised providers with Medicare Australia and several private health funds, including HCF, Bupa, Teachers Health Fund, Doctors Health, St Lukes Health, and Australian Regional Health Group Ancillary Provider Accreditation Service. AMHSWs meet high professional standards, with accreditation to deliver mental health services using a range of evidence-based strategies.
Like registered psychologists, AMHSWs provide professional, evidence-based therapy but do not perform psychological testing. With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you can access up to 10 Medicare-rebated sessions per calendar year with a rebate of $85.20 per session.
