Mrs Rachael Iudica Psychologist

Feeling anxious about pregnancy or birth? Struggling to find your identity in early motherhood? Confused by conflicting parenting advice? Depleted? Overwhelmed? Wondering if you are the only one finding motherhood hard? You are not alone. At The Mama Well, we support women to gain clarity, confidence and resilience in motherhood with online and in-person mental health and parenting support. Whether you are planning, pregnant or adjusting to life with little ones, The Mama Well is here for you. Our director and psychologist, Rachael Iudica, is a mother of two and understands how overwhelming and challenging motherhood can feel. She is passionate about supporting women through every season of motherhood with warmth and compassionate care. Her experience spans work with people of all ages and backgrounds, with particular expertise in anxiety, stress, attachment, family dynamics, identity, and self-esteem. Since becoming a mother herself, Rachael’s work has grown to focus on the inner world of mothers — the joys, the challenges, and the profound personal growth that motherhood brings. Grounded in developmental psychology and a deep respect for each mother’s unique story, Rachael’s approach to therapy is gentle, relational, and collaborative. She believes that healing happens through connection — and that a safe, supportive relationship is at the heart of meaningful change. With additional training in Circle of Security Parenting and Motherhood Studies, Rachael brings a rich understanding of attachment, emotional safety, and the realities of “good-enough” parenting. She also explores how modern motherhood is shaped by social and cultural influences, helping women reflect on what truly matters to them. Rachael offers a compassionate and non-judgmental space for mothers to pause, reflect, and connect — with themselves, their values, and the kind of mother they want to be.
