Hello, I’m Stephanie Martin, a Registered Counsellor with a background in nursing and over a decade of experience supporting children, adolescence and families at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital and experience counselling individuals from all walks of life.
As a mother I understand the pressures of parenting and the emotional demands families often face.
I also bring lived experience of life’s challenges, which helps me connect with others in a genuine and relatable way.
I work with children, adolescents and adults and those under the NDIS, utilising evidence based therapies with a client centred approach.
I support people with:

- Parenting challenges, including managing stress, strengthening parent-child relationships, and navigating behavioural or developmental concerns
- Perinatal and postnatal mental health concerns
- Those who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community
- Those struggling with Gender Identity
- Emotional support for those with chronic health conditions or those in palliative care
Therapeutic supports include:
- Emotional regulation and stress management
- Building confidence and self-worth
- Coping with school, work, parenthood and life changes

My approach is person-centred and grounded in warmth, and respect.

I will walk alongside you, ensuring that every session is tailored to your unique needs.
