PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH & PARENTING DIFFICULTIES
 "There is no such thing as a baby, there is a baby and someone."   D. W. Winnicot. 
​
Gillian's work with perinatal clients is guided by this principle elucidated by paediatrician and psychoanalyst  D. W. Winnicot.  She works with individuals experiencing emotional difficulties in the transition to parenthood (from pre-conception through to new parenthood), recognising that this is a complex transitional life stage which can bring about unexpected mental health and adjustment difficulties. 
​
Gillian trained and later worked at the Royal Women's Hospital as a psychologist and has conducted research into psychosocial assessment of risk factors for postnatal depression among women of refugee background.  
​
Families come in many different permutations (and no two are alike!). Gillian welcomes all individuals contemplating parenthood, or embarking on the journey.  Members of LGBTQI+ communities are most welcome in her practice.
