Meet HELENA.
ACCREDITED MENTAL HEALTH SOCIAL WORKER
Motherhood can shake you, soften you, and stretch you in ways you didn’t see coming. Helena gets it - because she’s lived it too. As a fellow mum of two boys and Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, she’s here to offer a space where you can exhale and feel fully seen.
Helena brings a calm, down-to-earth energy to therapy. She’ll meet you right where you are - whether that’s in the thick of new motherhood, navigating identity shifts, or managing the weight of anxiety or self-doubt. Her support is relational first: no checklists, just honest conversations, gentle guidance, and tools that actually feel doable in the chaos of real life.
With training in ACT, CBT, DBT skills, and as a Circle of Security facilitator, Helena offers evidence-based support - but more importantly, she’ll help you come back to you. Her focus isn’t on “fixing” you, but helping you feel more resourced, more grounded, and more connected in your day-to-day.

A 75-minute Initial Consult with Helena is $205, and with a Mental Health Care Plan, you’ll get a Medicare rebate of $85.20, making your out-of-pocket cost $119.80. Subsequent 60-minute sessions are $180, with a Medicare rebate of $85.20, making your out-of-pocket cost $94.80.
Accredited Mental Health Social Workers (AMHSWs) are recognised providers with Medicare Australia and several private health funds, including HCF, Bupa, Teachers Health Fund, Doctors Health, St Lukes Health, and Australian Regional Health Group Ancillary Provider Accreditation Service. AMHSWs meet high professional standards, with accreditation to deliver mental health services using a range of evidence-based strategies.
Like registered psychologists, AMHSWs provide professional, evidence-based therapy but do not perform psychological testing. With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you can access up to 10 Medicare-rebated sessions per calendar year with a rebate of $85.20 per session.
