Here at Three Little Birds, we believe that it takes a village to raise a child. Let us be a part of yours.
Our service was established in 2018 as a side project for POP! Psychology Director Dr Rachel Bushing, a Clinical Psychologist and mum of three. Dancing around the kitchen with her littlies one day, the Bob Marley song Three Little Birds rang out as a little reminder that hey, this is a good day. It occurred to Rach that if her kids could have just one message for their Mama it would be that "every little thing is gonna be alright".
Her "little birds" act as a constant reminder that raising children really is the toughest job in the world.
Now proudly in our 4th year of operation, underneath the POP! Psychology umbrella, Three Little Birds has grown to a team of 7 clinicians consulting across two Brisbane locations and delivering online telehealth specialist services. We are proudly growing our service as the "go to" clinic for perinatal mental health, through our clinic and the delivery of specialised supervision and training.

Perinatal refers to the period of life spanning pregnancy (and pre-pregnancy planning), across birth experiences, and into the postnatal, following the life of a baby and their parents up to three years.
This phase of life is known to be foundational in the lives of families. It is also a time when a woman is most vulnerable to experience a mental health condition. It is a time of unforeseen growth and adaption for new parents, and in many cases, within an environment of decreased supports and increased stress.
We are passionate about supporting parents and their children because we truly believe in the innate strengths that all parents bring to new parenthood. It's just that we all need a little help from time to time.
There are very few mental health clinicians who have specialist training and experience in perinatal mental health. This is an emerging field of specialty, and every day we are discovering new and exciting insights into how best to support parents and their children. We are proud to act as leaders in this field, and pride ourselves on staying up to date on new developments. We use the insights of our clients and community partners to guide us in our learning.
Our therapists are trained in working with:
PREGNANCY AND CONCEPTION CONCERNS
BIRTH TRAUMA
PRE- OR POST-NATAL ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION
FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS AND ADJUSTMENT
