Pregnancy and parenthood can put significant stress on new parents. It isn't uncommon for anxiety and depression to disrupt parent-baby relationships, wellbeing and family life.

That's why, at Raphael Services, we offer vital early-intervention counselling, therapy and support to baby's fourth birthday, enabling mums and dads to thrive - emotionally, physically and as a family.

Our services

No out-of-pocket expense, personalised counselling and group support for mums, dads and families.

Alan's story

Our baby wouldn’t sleep on her back. She’d wake every two to three hours, screaming for at least an hour, every night, for 16 months straight.

Huia’s story

I showed signs of anxiety through stages of my pregnancy. It was when Louis was about six weeks old that the wheels fell off for me.

Yvonne's story

During my pregnancy with our second child, I was feeling really stressed and anxious. We both were – my husband Luke and I – but I felt alone.
