Dr Majella Henry

Majella graduated in Medicine from the University of Queensland in 2002, obtained a Diploma of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 2007, and completed her General Practice Training in 2008.

For the past ten years, she has worked at the Mater Hospital, beginning in the antenatal clinics. She later joined the Parenting Support Centre, where she supported families during the postpartum period with feeding issues, sleep and settling concerns, and maternal perinatal mental health. She currently works part-time at Catherine’s House at the Mater, an integrated perinatal mental health service supporting families in the postpartum period.

Her extensive experience working with women has fostered a deep passion for supporting their mental health and that of their families. In 2020, she completed a Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Medicine to enhance her ability to diagnose and manage mental health conditions. Majella is trained in Focused Psychological Strategies, including CBT, EMDR, and Circle of Security.

She also provides care in areas such as contraception, menopause, sexual health, preconception counselling, and both antenatal and postnatal care, including feeding and sleep-related concerns.

Outside of her professional life, Majella enjoys spending time with her husband and their three teenage children. She loves travelling, cooking, reading, and staying connected with friends and family.
