  Brigid Ryan at Brighter Beginnings. Definitely agree on getting a mental health plan from your GP first so can claim sessions under Medicare. I live Northside & travel to Duffy as she's so good. Good luck! http://brighterbeginningspsychology.com.au/

  Canberra M. asked:

  Hi I'm after recommendations for a good counsellor/psychologist on the Southside, specifically for postnatal depression and relationship issues. I had a great psychologist at college last year but I cant see him anymore since I've left school. I've been to several psychologists since then for my depression but I never felt I could trust them and open up to them. Ideally my boyfriend and I would go to counselling together but he thinks its a waste of time. We only started dating a week before our baby was conceived so we've had a lot of stress on our relationship right from the start, and to be honest, if our baby didn't exist we would have broken up by now for sure. And if anyone has any ideas for alternatives to couples counselling I would love to hear them!! Thanks mums.

  Canberra M. asked:

  Mental heath ————————— I am at a loss. I have a history of postnatal depression and anxiety from four years ago, it has come back with a vengeance. I have seen my local GP (lovely lady) she put me on antidepressants which landed me in hospital. I have call all psychiatrists I can google iv been to a gp for referrals all with no luck. Can any body give suggestions or a great gp who can diagnose and medicate?? It’s taken me 4 years to finally reach out for help and no one can help me. Kind regards

  Canberra M. asked:

  Hello. We struggled with fertility issues taking 3 years to get our daughter through IVF. We are now trying for 2nd. We tried to thaw a frozen egg which failed, then a full round of IVF of which there were no viable eggs to transfer. I'm finding it hard to cope. Can anyone recommend a good counsellor or psychologist specialising in this area? Or any support groups? Thanks

  Canberra M. asked:

  Hi lovely mums Looking for a good counsellor /psych / therapist potentially with expertise in drinking/ childhood trauma please? Hubby is struggling a bit with childhood stuff which has been brought back up with the birth of our first bubby and is turning to alcohol to suppress those feelings... He's a blokey bloke and isn't great at opening up but is seeking help, he's just not sure where to find it. His GP was hopeless and just told him to go straight onto antidepressants which we feel shouldn't be the first resort! Preferably inner south side but happy to travel. Thanks so much xxx

  Dear CM's, can anyone recommend a skilled psychologist or therapist who can assist me? I am pregnant with my second child, I had a previous traumatic birth, and this pregnancy is bringing up issues related to past childhood trauma/abuse I experienced. Thank you.

  Canberra M. asked:

  I'm looking for a great family/relationship counsellor or perhaps someone who deals with high risk pregnancies and concerns that accompany them. I would really love another baby... My first and only was born at 30 weeks after I was diagnosed with Pre-eclampsia. He suffered serious complications due to premature birth and we feared for my life too. I was already monitored closely and treated with blood thinners due to prior medical conditions so it was quite a shock. My husband isn't so crash hot on the idea of another baby with fears it may happen again and personal issues. I don't want fear to stop us and think perhaps it would be good to sort through these issues with a professional before possibly getting pregnant. Any have recommendations for a professional who could help us? TIA X
