Hello, I am Donna Rose

I am a registered psychologist with over 20 years experience working with families whose journey to parenthood is complicated by loss, premature birth, health or developmental difficulties or social adversity.

Prior to commencing private practice, I worked with families at outstanding public services including the Children’s Hospital at Westmead (NSW), Neonatal Growth and Development Services in NSW and Brisbane and the Family Court of Australia.

I have a particular interest in the adjustment to parenting and the process of children and parents getting to know each other. These adaptions are influenced by many factors including prior experiences of family life, current relationships, current and prior health issues, losses and hopes for family.

Therefore, I am deeply committed to working with clients to strengthen parent-child relationships, promote (prospective) parents’ adaption and confidence in their own parenting voice..

I have extensive experience delivering psychological care via Telehealth and to rural and remote communities and particularly welcomes families from rural and remote communities.

So welcome to my perinatal psychology clinic, I look forward to working with you to find your unique way to wellbeing and being a family.
