Perinatal Therapy
Carla offers support for a range of issues throughout preconception, pregnancy and postnatally.
Carla is passionate about providing support for individuals and their families throughout this time, and provide a space to talk about how you “really feel”.
​
​
Carla is also registered to provide psychological support and counselling under Medicare’s Non-directive pregnancy counselling item. This referral is for 3 sessions for any pregnancy related concerns and psychological support with pregnancy related concerns, adoption and termination support. It is available during pregnancy and up to 12 months postnatally.
​​​
This is a different referral to a GP Mental Health Care Treatment Plan, and requires psychologists to have undertaken training and registration with Medicare to be able to claim rebates under this referral.
It can be helpful to get support during the Perinatal period. The transition to parenthood can sometimes have its challenges for a variety of reasons including:
​
-
Grief and loss (miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal death, terminations),
-
Neurodivergent parents
-
Perfectionism in the perinatal period
