About me…
Hi, I’m Kerryn.
I provide pregnancy counselling in Tamworth, NSW and online via telehealth. I support people navigating the emotional ups and downs of fertility struggles, IVF, pregnancy, birth/birth trauma, and early parenthood.
You imagined this part of your life would feel joyful, but right now, things might feel harder than you expected.
⚜️ Maybe you’re exhausted from trying to conceive and not sure what your next step should be.
⚜️ Maybe your heart is aching from the loss of a precious baby and the dream of having your own family.
⚜️ Maybe pregnancy isn’t the glowing, blissful time you were told it would be.
⚜️ Maybe your birth experience left you with unexpected feelings you weren’t prepared for.
⚜️ Or maybe you’re finding parenthood overwhelming – nothing like the pictures you see online – and reality isn’t matching your expectations.
Sound familiar?
I understand, because I’ve been there too.
My own journey to parenthood was filled with challenges, heartbreak, and moments I truly didn’t think I’d get through. But those experiences lit a fire in me - resulting in my “why” I do what I choose to do. They gave me the determination and drive to keep going through eight long years of study to get my Bachelor of Social Work, whilst also still “doing life”.
That persistence brought me here, doing the work I love, offering pregnancy and postpartum counselling to others navigating their own twists and turns on the unpredictable roller coaster of becoming a parent.
How I Support You…
I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with my own lived experience of pregnancy and early parenthood. I understand how fertility struggles and IVF, a difficult birth, or the early weeks with a newborn can leave you feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn during this precious time.
In our sessions, you can expect empathy, understanding, and practical support tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll gently explore what you’ve been through and currently experiencing, make sense of your emotions, and find ways to support your emotional wellbeing during this important chapter of your life. I love guiding parents just like you through each step of their journey to become the parent they always imagined being.
We’ll work as a team, so you feel empowered, informed, and confident in the choices you make. I believe you are your own expert. You know what you truly need, but I’m here to support you through this immediate bump in the road, and also to help you build skills and resilience you can carry into the future. Let me help you find your way through this difficult time.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. I create a plan tailored to you and your experiences. This includes using:
Evidence-based counselling such as CBT, ACT, EMDR, and other therapies.
Holistic approaches like meditation, somatic healing, EFT tapping, and Reiki if these feel right for you.
Whether you’re looking for gentle guidance, practical coping strategies, a safe space to process a difficult experience, or simply someone to truly listen - you don’t have to go through this alone.

I support clients experiencing:
Fertility struggles and IVF support
Grief and loss during pregnancy or birth
Birth trauma recovery and debriefing
Postpartum and parenting adjustments
I accept clients with a GP referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan, along with working privately with clients. Private sessions keep it simple and allows us to take the time we need to go deeper and not be confined to limited sessions under Medicare. No rushed sessions. No ticking boxes. No diagnosis required. Just you and me with space to talk, breath and heal.
