About Dr Edna Lekgabe

About Dr Edna Lekgabe

Dr Edna Lekgabe is here to support you through every stage of your journey to motherhood and beyond. Dr Edna is a caring psychiatrist with a deep passion for helping women and families navigate the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood. Her experience bridges both private practice and her role as a consultant psychiatrist at The Royal Women’s Hospital.

Dr Edna believes every woman deserves a safe place to talk openly and feel heard. She understands that becoming a parent is a unique adventure, filled with both joy and uncertainty, and she welcomes conversations about whatever is on your mind—from planning for pregnancy and infertility struggles, to birth worries, trauma, grief, and the challenges of new parenthood. No concern is too small.

Her care is truly holistic. Dr Edna listens deeply to understand not just your medical needs, but your emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual life too. She emphasises early support and welcomes family and loved ones into decision-making, especially when considering medication before, during, or after pregnancy. She offers guidance on mental health treatments, and also supports you with practical lifestyle approaches like nutrition, gentle exercise, mindfulness, self-compassion, and building your support network.

Dr Edna holds a medical degree from Monash University, a Master of Psychiatry from the University of Melbourne, a PhD, and a Diploma from the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. She is a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists. She has trained at several leading hospitals, including The Royal Melbourne, Royal Children’s, Royal Women’s and Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s Hospitals.

If you are seeking someone gentle, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your wellbeing, Dr Edna is here to help you find clarity, comfort, and confidence as you move through each chapter of motherhood.
