Mums do a lot of holding. But who’s holding you?
Motherhood is no easy transition and such a shift deserves the same level of support.
We believe that every mama deserves a compassionate, non-judgemental space to honour the huge impact of motherhood.
Because mama matters.
“Therapy is about understanding the self that you are. But part of getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself—to let go of the limiting stories you’ve told yourself about who you are so that you aren’t trapped by them, so you can live your life and not the story you’ve been telling yourself about your life.”
LORI GOTTLIEB, FROM HER BOOK “MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK TO SOMEONE”

Accredited Mental Health Social Workers (AMHSWs) are recognised providers with Medicare Australia and other programs (including BUPA). They have received accreditation to deliver mental health services utilising a range of evidence-based strategies. AMHSWs are highly trained and educated professionals, meeting some of the highest standards of professional regulation in Australia.
Like registered psychologists, AMHSW’s hold professional registration and provide evidence-based therapy, the main difference between the two being that AMHSW’s do not provide psychological testing.
Like seeing a psychologist, seeing an AMHSW is medicare rebated by accessing a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP (by seeing your GP face-to-face or via a phone or Telehealth appointment).
With a Mental Health Care Plan, you can access 10 Medicare rebated sessions per calendar year, with the above mentioned rebate per session
