Planning ahead for your mental health care? 🗓️

We’re sharing our end-of-year closure dates early so our clients and families have plenty of time to plan ahead and make arrangements for their ongoing care.

Our key dates:

📅 Last day of appointments: Wednesday 23 December 2026
📅 Office reopens: Monday 11 January 2027

We know that consistency and continuity of care are important, particularly during periods when routines and supports may change.

If you’re currently attending therapy, we encourage you to speak with your clinician about scheduling appointments and planning for the break.

Thinking about starting therapy or an assessment in 2027?

Now is a great time to get organised! Our admin team can assist with enquiries, upcoming availability and finding the right clinician for your needs.

Thinking about a psychological assessment? Here are a few things we want you to know first.

An assessment is more than completing a few questionnaires, sitting some tests and walking away with a diagnosis.

A good assessment is about understanding the person behind the presentation, not just what is happening, but exploring why.

That means bringing together information from different sources, looking at patterns across time and settings, and considering different explanations before reaching conclusions.

It also means:

→ A diagnosis cannot be guaranteed
→ The process requires an investment of time and money
→ Your/your child’s perspective matters
→ Assessment is a collaborative process, not something simply “done to” you
→ The outcome may provide valuable understanding and recommendations, whether or not a diagnosis is made

Ultimately, the goal isn’t to collect a label.

It’s to leave with a better understanding of the person, their strengths, their challenges, and what might help.

“We didn’t have autism when I was growing up…”

Well… you probably did. You just didn’t call it autism. 👀

Previous generations had the child who “only ate five foods.”
The uncle who “didn’t do small talk.”
The cousin who knew everything there was to know about trains.
The person who was “very particular” about how things had to be done.
The girl who was “just shy” but went home completely exhausted from keeping it together all day.

Of course, having any one of these traits doesn’t mean someone is autistic.

But autism didn’t suddenly appear in recent generations. What has changed is our understanding, diagnostic criteria and ability to recognise different presentations — including those that were historically overlooked or explained away as personality, behaviour or simply being “a bit different”.

More diagnoses ≠ autism suddenly existing.

Sometimes it means we’ve simply gotten better at recognising what was already there. 🧠

A little webinar update ✨

Due to some website errors causing issues with registration, we have rescheduled our So, You’re Thinking About Private Practice? webinar to Wednesday 19th August.

To say thank you for your patience, we’ve also extended our early bird registration for just $15, available until 11th August.

This 2-hour introductory webinar is for provisional psychologists, early career psychologists, and clinicians who are curious about the different ways private practice can look — from contracting and salaried roles to group practice and going solo.

Thank you to everyone who let us know about the registration issues. The link should now be working smoothly via our bio.

Weekly truth: you can’t always think your way out of feeling human.

Sometimes life is hard because it is hard.

Not because you are not positive enough.
Not because you have not journaled enough.
Not because you are failing at coping.

There are moments where the goal is not to “think better” immediately.

Sometimes the goal is to pause.
To feel what is there.
To reach for support.
To take the next small step.

You are allowed to need more than mindset.

We asked Dr Kim: what are some simple ways you show up for yourself as a psychologist?

Her answer was refreshingly practical:

I see no more than 6 clients a day.
I always take a lunch break.
I seek regular debrief and supervision.
I take time off throughout the year.

As psychologists, we spend a lot of time talking about boundaries, sustainability and self-care.

But these things matter for clinicians too.

Showing up well for others starts with creating the conditions to show up well in the work.

Today we said goodbye to our Semester 1 provisional psychologists. They have been such an incredible team, so much that some are staying on as part of our employee team! Stay tuned to see who is staying, and who we are welcoming for Semester 2!

22/06/2026

As part of our placement program, Dr. Kim facilitates a group session focused on what private practice looks like post-registration. There are so many types of professional options for graduate psychologists but universities don’t offer this teaching as part of their programs.

Dr. Kim has worked in all types of employment arrangement; employee, solo practitioner, and sub contractor. She has experience for the benefits and challenges of each.

As her role as supervisor, Dr. Kim believes this is an integral part of our professional training and aims to support those entering the private practice workforce by equipping them with more real-world knowledge about the industry.
