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.
My passion lies in helping individuals to make meaningful changes in their lives.
I offer Neuro-affirming care within a caring, non-judgmental space where people feel heard, supported, and empowered.
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, teens, and adults and those under the NDIS, focusing on practical strategies that build confidence, resilience, and independence.

- Parenting challenges, including managing stress, strengthening parent-child relationships, and navigating behavioural or developmental concerns
- Perinatal and postnatal mental health concerns
