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.

Hello, I’m Katrina, the founder of Olive Counselling. I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and a mum of two.

At Olive Counselling, I specialise in perinatal mental health and couples counselling. I work with parents experiencing postnatal depression and anxiety, birth trauma, fertility challenges, grief and loss, identity shifts, and the everyday stresses of parenting. I also support couples to strengthen their relationship during the perinatal period, navigate changes in intimacy, improve communication, and work through conflict with compassion and respect.

My approach blends evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Circle of Security, mindfulness, and somatic practices. This allows me to tailor sessions to your unique needs whether you’re looking for gentle emotional support, practical coping strategies, or deeper trauma processing.

I understand that becoming a mother can be overwhelming. You may be navigating sleepless nights, big emotions, changes in your relationship, and a sense of losing the “old you.” Whether you’re seeking a safe place to process your feelings, practical parenting tools, or ways to reconnect with your partner, you’ll find understanding and guidance here.

At Olive Counselling, my hope is that you feel truly seen, supported, and understood, not just as a mum but as your unique self! Together, we can gently work through the challenges, strengthen your relationships, and help you find a sense of calm, connection, and confidence in this chapter of life.

My name is Sacha Rendoth, and it is my absolute pleasure to support families with sleep, settling and feeding.  As a mother of 4, a certified Sleep Sense™ Consultant and a registered midwife, I have over 15 years of experience.

With gentle and customised methods, to suit each child and each family, I work with parents to support them to teach their babies and children sleeping and feeding rhythms that last. We work together to literally bring a settlement and flow to you, your child, and your family.

Settle & Flow’s sleep programs will completely change your life and can help with areas such as confidence with self-settling, feeding, understanding sleep regressions, and working towards sleeping through the night. The support I offer to make changes is gentle and gradual, offering a step-by-step individual approach. I look at what may holistically be affecting sleep in a caring and understanding way.

I love uniquely supporting families and tailoring the sleep program to what is needed for your specific baby or child; whether it be sleeping through the night, napping independently, self settling, or stopping feeding to sleep; just to name a few goals you may have. Sleep is the greatest gift you can give yourself and your family.
