WACPPS has specialised in parenting, perinatal and infant mental health for over 30 years, originating within Gosnell’s Womans Health Services.
We believe in the value of working closely with other health professionals to provide the best possible care for our clients. Perinatal mental health impacts over 5000 women per year in Western Australia.
At WACPPS we can offer counselling appointments Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday 9am – 4.30pm and Thursday 9am – 8.30pm in person, by telephone or video counselling.
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer after hours or emergency counselling services.
WACPPS is a gendered family service supporting individuals, couples and families with non-acute, non-chronic, common mental disorders of mild to moderate severity. Clients must be able to maintain their own safety between appointments.

To refer your client please go to the Referral page and complete an online referral & consent to release information form. We will contact the client to book a telephone assessment with our Therapeutic Administration Officer. This allows your client to be added to our waitlist and ensures they are allocated to the correct therapist and services to suit their needs.
