Now taking new clients! ✨

I have current availability to see new clients. If you have a valid GP referral & mental health car plan, Medicare rebates may be available.

I often support:
- mothers through pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum and parenting
- infant sleep support and cry fuss behaviour
- anxiety, OCD, panic, GAD
- depression
- trauma
- life stressors

I work holistically combining my skills in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and emotional regulation with Clinical EFT. Our sessions are not just talking. We are constantly listening to the body and what the body needs (often more regulation and to feel safe), before talking about the big things. Because the nervous system must feel SAFE in order to process trauma, anxious events and stressful memories.

All my consults are currently via Telehealth Australia Wide. So you can be in the comfort of your own home.

I am trained in Neuroprotective Developmental Care (NDC) and regularly support parents with infants sleep challenges and cry-fuss behaviour. We know that these challenges can impact the whole family. So we work with you and the family to come up with a plan that will support everyone. This approach is NOT sleep training and instead focuses on biology and working to ensure the biological sleep regulators are woking as effectively as possible. 😴

If you want to organise a FREE no commitment phone call to discuss if my services are suitable please send me a message via my website today 😊

March workshop - Saturday 14th! 💻 😴

If you are a mum or parent with a little one on the way or at home and want to know more about biological sleep…. Check out this workshop!

It’s evidence based from the latest sleep science.

It aims to help you understand sleep better. Understanding what will and won’t help when you have a sleep problem.

What is not part of this workshop :
- wake windows
- cry it out
- focus on ‘overstimulation’
- encouragement of white noise or dark rooms for day sleep

What we do focus on is:
- biological sleep regulators
- attachment / bonding
- cued care
- regular get up times
- flexible day sleep (baby will take sleep when the need it)
- enjoyment with your baby
- sensory enrichment
- navigating night sleep issues
- how to go about a ‘sleep reset’

Self-care isn’t indulgent — it’s foundational. 💗
When we support sleep, movement, connection, and nourishment, we support our nervous system too.
Little shifts, practiced consistently, can make a big difference over time.

There’s so much conflicting advice about SLEEP! 😴

My aim is to try to unpack the science to help you find what works from a biological perspective. No rigid sleep schedules, and no clock watching, that can create more stress and anxiety for families.

Learn how sleep actually works, how you can support your little one’s biological sleep regulators and enjoy the days more with your little one. 🥰

Are you struggling to figure out your little one’s sleep rhythm? Feeling exhausted but don’t want to resort to sleep training? 😴

Come and ‘unlearn’ some of the myths about sleep and understand how sleep is BIOLOGICAL and the science (I promise it’s easy to understand without the jargon). ⭐️

I am to have you walking away understanding why we can’t teach sleep, how biological sleep regulators work and how you can support your little one’s sleep better. This workshop supports secure attachment, following your parenting instincts and is evidence based / sciences backed. 💗

I am a psychologist, NDC practitioner and a mother. I have lived through sleep challenges myself with my little one and now I aim to empower and teach more families about biological sleep to take the stress out of bedtime. 😴

Tickets are $80 per family for this 2.5 hour workshop including Q&A. See the 🔗 in my bio for details or to book.

This time of year can feel very full for many of us. Sometimes we can get lost in our to do lists, our thoughts, work and family life. Taking a moment to be present, ground yourself and take notice of how you are feeling can be helpful. 💗

Does your baby wake regularly over night? 💤
This can be so challenging, exhausting, and make many families feel like it will ‘never end’.

Help is available! You are also not alone. I often hear from parents who are having challenges with their little ones night waking. Although night waking is normal right into toddlerhood. Excessive night waking is not normal and can be a sign that your little one’s biological sleep regulators may need a reset.

Biological sleep regulators:
- body clock
- sleep pressure

If you want to talk through your specific situation, work on a plan for your little ones re-set that will work for the whole family, and get everyone back to sleep as quickly as possible. Please reach out to book a Telehealth consult today. 💗

** please note this sleep support is with a registered psychologist trained in the NDC or possums sleep program. This is a biological and science backed approach to sleep that does NOT involve any sleep training methods.

Biological Sleep Education that is NOT sleep training 💤

This is aimed at parents or carers of babies under 12 months old or families currently pregnant.

This workshop aims to teach you about how sleep works and why we can’t ‘teach’ sleep 😴

This is an evidence based and science based approach. Dianne is an NDC practitioner ( Neuroprotective Developmental Care) and psychologist who is compassionate and understands how challenging it is navigating the conflicting advice parents receive.

Resources and handouts provided.

Do you have a little one and want to get some support around sleep? Don’t want to sleep train? Well you don’t have to! 💗

I have been trained in the NDC also known as the Possums Sleep Program. I offer a biological lens when working with families. There’s no ridged routines or prescribed lists. Instead it’s about leaning more about how sleep works in order to optimise your babies biological sleep regulators.

If this sounds like something you would like please reach out to book a 1:1 sleep consult via Telehealth. 📞
