Doctor Erin Bowe

I’m Dr Erin Bowe. I’m a Clinical & Perinatal Psychologist & Author of More Than a Healthy Baby: Finding Strength and Growth After Birth Trauma.

 I live in rural Victoria, Australia with my husband, 5 & 3 year old daughters, two cavalier king charles spaniels and a flock of chickens who are all named after film noir divas. 

I’m not currently using social media as life has simply been SO MUCH BETTER without it.

**Please note that I’m not currently taking new counselling clients. My offerings for 2021 are limited to supervision and mentoring only**

I grew up on the apple isle in a city (yes, technically Devonport is a city) once described by Lonely Planet as a “sedentary, mildly menacing place”. I then moved to Hobart for university where I managed to live in not just one, but two houses where a murder-suicide was committed. I finally made the decision to move from St Kilda to the country when I came home one day, exhausted and suffering with morning sickness to find not just one but five men urinating on my front gate!

Sadly, I can only speak one language but convince myself I can actually speak two, because I don’t need the subtitles on for Ken Loach movies. I grew up playing English interpreter for Glaswegian parents, but I cannot roll my ‘R’s.

My experience in psychology is pretty wide ranging. I’ve worked with people as young as 9 months and as old as 90 years. There have been mums, murderers, Olympic athletes, chess champions, sex workers, and CEOs. I believe that everyone has a story, and am always interested in listening to yours.
