My Story
Hi I'm Jen, mother of three daughters (an angel in heaven, 23 yr old, and a 1 yr old) and a devoted pug owner.
I am a Perinatal Psychologist and have spent most of my second career working within the public mental health sector with children, youth and adults. (If you were wondering my first career was Early Childhood Education/Child care/Nanny).
I have a Bachelor degree in Psychology, Masters of Health - Perinatal and Infant Mental Health, am accredited with the Neuroprotective Developmental Care Institute, a Circle of security- Parenting Facilitator, and a Becoming Us Perinatal Relationship group facilitator.
In 2023 I opened my first private psychology practice in Warrnambool Victoria so I could offer individualised support backed by scientific evidence to those needing this during their family building journey.
I am passionate about perinatal mental health and the emotional wellbeing of infants and how we as adults can support infant mental health through giving babies a voice, helping parents understand their infant's communication, and by supporting parents, couples and families during the joyful and challenging transitions to parenthood.
If this is something you would like to know more about, or want to make an appointment please call 0455 492 034.
All the best
Jen
