What is “Brews, Bowls + Bubs”?
Many new or expectant dads experience stress, anxiety, or depression but don’t seek help until it becomes severe.
We created “Brews, Bowls + Bubs” to support new dads as they embark on the exciting but at times daunting journey of fatherhood.
We want to set dads up for success! Not only for supporting your partner through the birth of your child and the postpartum period. But also for supporting yourself and your well-being during this transitional period. We recognise that dads who are informed and emotionally supported are better able to support their partners and children.
So join us for a night of fun, education, meeting other dads and, of course, beer and bowls!
Your night will kick off at the RiverDome Thebarton at 6pm. You’ll meet your facilitator who will go through the outline of the night. Grab a beer, settle in, and then we’ll jump into the good stuff—practical, relatable info for new dads. Pizza will show up at some point to share with your new dad buds. There’ll be time for open discussion, questions, and a judgement-free chat about what it really means to step into fatherhood. Then, we’ll wrap things up with a friendly game of lawn bowls—and maybe another beer—as we finish the night with a bit of fun.
These sessions are built specifically for new dads—too often overlooked, but a very important player in the “game” called parenthood. It’s important that you take care of yourself. Not only is it to the benefit of your well-being, but you can’t pour from an empty cup, and your partner and your new baby need a healthy dad.
Join us at our next session by booking online using the calendar below. We’ll see ya there.

“G’day, I’m Liam — an experienced counsellor who understands what a massive shift becoming a dad can be. Whether you’re about to meet your baby or already in the thick of it, I’m here to support you through one of life’s biggest transitions.
I’ve spent the past eight years helping people navigate mental health challenges. I take a down-to-earth, trauma-informed, narrative approach that caters to the individual. I’m here to support you – whether it’s adjusting to fatherhood, making sense of your own upbringing, dealing with birth-related stress, or just needing someone to talk to.
As a counsellor and a father, I’ve seen the highs and lows of parenthood up close. I’m here to walk alongside you, help you build resilience, strengthen your relationships, and take care of your mental wellbeing.
Let’s work together to find what helps you feel grounded, confident, and connected — both as a partner and a dad.
Looking forward to meeting you.
