About Us
Little Hens Psychology began with a boy named Henry.
Little Hens Psychology was born out of one Mum’s passion to build accessible, convenient mental health support, where parents receive warm, empathetic and compassionate care from experienced perinatal clinicians.

From the Founder
Meet Katelyn Rossiter
My lived experience of struggling silently with anxiety, infant bonding, identity change and relationship challenges helped me to identify the importance of connecting with a professional as early as possible to support the emotional impacts of becoming a parent.
The name Little Hens was inspired by my little boy Henry who is affectionately known as ‘Little Hens’. The name reflects the emotional journey and bond we share and embodies the nurturing and supportive space I want to create for expectant and new parents.
Just as my connection with Henry has been a journey of growth and learning, Little Hens Psychology is dedicated to guiding parents through their own meaningful transitions. As a Mum diagnosed with ADHD, I also have a deep understanding of how neurodivergence can add further challenges to navigating parenthood.
Managing the strategic operations of the practice, I am committed to ensuring that Little Hens Psychology provides accessible, evidence-based care that helps parents feel supported, empowered and less alone.
