helping mums to shine brighter

Motherhood can be a struggle, it can be messy, it can be tough. No matter how old our children are or how they came to us, we will all struggle from time to time. If this is you right now, I see you, I get it and you are not alone.

Every day at Mumshine, I work with mums like you, walking alongside, listening without judgement and providing a space where it is 100 percent about you and what is on your mind. No matter how you are feeling, your feelings are valid here and whatever you are facing, we can work through it.

I specialise in online therapy to ensure clients have the same warmth, support and empathy in a convenient and secure online platform. I offer all clients a free 15 minute, no obligation, introduction call for us to connect and to see how I can help you.

common challenges facing mothers

No two mums are the same, we bring different things to motherhood and take different things away from it. Our experiences, thoughts and feelings are different however, often we face many of the same mental health challenges that can be hard to explain to people who are not mothers. These challenges are part of the experience for all mothers, however they do not have to be all of the experience. It is possible to work through and overcome some of these challenges.

mum guilt

No matter what we do, we sometimes feel like we are not enough. We feel bad about the choices we make, worry about consequences and doubt ourselves, our instincts and actions.

anxious & overwhelmed

Motherhood comes with worry. Sometimes it can feel all consuming and affect how we live life. It makes it hard for us to be present in the moment and even regulate our emotions.

feeling lost

When we have a baby our identity changes, whether we want it to or not. It is not just how we see ourselves, but how others see us and it can cause us to question who we are, what we want, our relationships and future goals

prioritising yourself

As mums we are programmed to care, however somewhere along the way we forget to care about ourselves. We forget that sometimes to look after others, we need to first look after ourselves - without guilt, fear or judgement.

working with Freya

Hi, I am Freya. I created Mumshine to help mums like you to shine brighter through better mental health. Prior to counselling, I worked for many years in Corporate Australia where I worked with mums (and was a mum) who struggled to do it all. I wanted to make life better for mums, and Mumshine was born.

I created Mumshine as a safe, warm and inviting space for you to focus on yourself and work through your challenges without judgement. I will never tell you what to do as chances are everyone has already given you an opinion. Instead I sit with you, creating space. I will listen, help you work out what you want and help you to achieve the objectives you set. I know how hard it can be to put yourself first and admit that things are hard. Well done on getting this far and I hope to speak with you soon.

By way of qualifications I hold a Graduate Certificate in Counselling, a Diploma in

Counselling with advanced study majors in child development and effective parenting, abuse counselling and counselling clients with addictions. I also hold a Masters of Business Administration a Bachelor of Arts and Life Coaching accreditations. I am a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association (member ID 25085). I am also studying towards my Masters in Counselling (as you can never stop learning) and am due to graduate, June 2025.

I offer a limited number of online appointments each week and you can book your appointment in a few simple clicks via the Halaxy platform. If you still aren't sure what support you need, you can also book a free, 15 minute introduction call, with no obligations, to discuss your needs.
