About

About Lucy

I am a Registered Psychologist with 20 years experience supporting children, families, and parents across Northern NSW.

As well as evidence-based baby and toddler sleep education and consulting, I provide perinatal mental health and early parenting adjustment support to individuals and couples through pregnancy, birth, the transition to parenthood, and baby's first newborn year of life.

I support women, couples and families experiencing perinatal loss, including support around pregnancy decision making, fertility challenges and IVF, miscarriage, stillbirth, pregnancy termination, and the loss of a newborn baby.

My work with adults is specifically centred on perinatal mental health, the transition to parenthood, infant and toddler sleep support, parenting, attachment, and the emotional and psychological impact of perinatal loss. I do not provide treatment for broader adult mental health concerns that fall outside these areas of specialisation.
