Maintaining your total health and wellbeing is important at all times in your life, but especially before, during and after pregnancy, and during your years as a parent.
This period can present many challenges, some of which may impact on your mental health.
That’s why the team at Greenslopes Obstetrics and Gynaecology has partnered with qualified Women’s Psychologist, Narelle Dickinson.
Benefits
The type of supportive counselling Narelle provides can help you to grow and learn to deal with the stress of everyday life. As a specialist in women’s issues, Narelle has successfully treated post-natal and ante-natal depression. She has helped women to cope with natal loss, near natal-loss, and many different anxieties, including those related to infertility. She has supported women through all stages of their transition to becoming a parent and their time as a parent.
Narelle strives to empower her patients by helping them to understand their feelings and how to manage them, supporting them to live full, happy and rewarding lives.
Her total independence from you and your family also offers you complete privacy.
