Abi Barham Lactation Support

Are you overwhelmed with all the babywearing products available on the market? Have you been gifted a few carriers or are you being targeted by sponsored ads for carriers, each claiming to be the best? Perhaps you have already invested in an expensive carrier and your baby appears to hate it?

You don’t have to figure this out alone! Sarah is an experienced babywearing mum of five and a certified babywearing educator. She provides in home consultations where you can try on multiple carriers from her extensive demo kit and figure out your best fit before you buy. If you already own carriers she can show you how to use yours safely and educate you on all the features. Every consultation begins with thorough education around safe and optimal babywearing, ergonomics and healthy hip development. You deserve to be empowered with knowledge in how to keep your baby safe and have the confidence to enjoy babywearing, just like you dreamed.

Sarah also consults out of Maternal and Infant Wellbeing Melbourne in Parkville and provides group education through workshops.

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.
