Welcome
Blossom Perinatal Psychology supports families throughout the perinatal period, from pre-conception, pregnancy, loss and postpartum to parenting children under three years of age.
Evidence-based therapies are utilised from an attachment-based and trauma-informed approach to support clients, including helping them to understand their own attachment history and its influence on their current concerns and parenting challenges.
Blossom Perinatal Psychology works collaboratively to empower soon-to-be parents, new parents and parents with mental health issues to strengthen their relationships with their infants, build their parenting confidence and manage the challenges of parenting.
