Highly recommend Tingara Natural Medicines if you are looking for an amazing practitioner. Jerusha is warm, knowledgeable and genuinely committed to supporting her clients. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Spring brings sunshine & blossoms… but for many, it is the dreaded hay fever season. Sneezing fits, watery eyes, itchy throat, and blocked sinuses can make the most beautiful time of year feel like a struggle.

While conventional medicine often turns to antihistamines, many people seek a gentler, holistic approach. This is where Tingira Natural Medicine Clinic can help.

Two people with hay fever might need entirely different remedies depending on how their symptoms show up. And by matching your specific symptoms with the right remedy, the aim is to stimulate your body’s own healing response. This brings about a non-drowsy, side effect free, and often permanent solution!

Common Remedies for Hay fever include:

* Allium cepa - Great for streaming eyes and nose, burning discharge, and constant sneezing that’s worse indoors.

* Euphrasia - For hay fever with intensely irritated, watery eyes and bland nasal discharge.

* Sabadilla - When violent sneezing, tickling in the nose, and itching in the palate or throat are the main features.

* Arsenicum album - For burning, watery nasal discharge, restlessness, and hay fever that is worse at night.

* Natrum muriaticum - Suited when hay fever comes with sneezing fits, watery eyes, and sometimes headaches, often worse at the seaside.

✨ Limited Time Special Offer ✨

Clinic held Wednesday mornings - consultations just $30 (usually $130).

📌 Bookings essential.

Living in a rural or remote community can be beautiful, but it can also feel isolating, especially when life gets tough. As somebody who was raised in the country, I truly understand the unique challenges of living outside the city.

That is why I offer online counselling support, making it easier for people in regional areas to access care without the stress of travel. Whether you are facing day to day challenges, navigating big life changes, or just need someone to talk things through with, I am here to support you.

At Amy Cox Counselling Services, we are also passionate about inclusive care and are here to support neurodiverse people and the LGBTQI community, along with their families and supporters.

You do not have to go through it alone.

For many women, there has been a quiet struggle. Difficulty concentrating, thoughts racing, feeling deeply hurt by rejection. Things you might have always thought were just your personality or life being hard.

What if it has been ADHD all along?

Here is something to consider: hormones do not cause ADHD, they just pull back the curtain.

Estrogen plays a key role in the brain systems that manage attention, memory, emotional control and more.
When estrogen drops during perimenopause or menopause, those subtle ADHD traits many have compensated for start to become harder to hide.
Things that once felt doable, such as keeping track of details, remembering multi-step tasks, staying emotionally balanced, can suddenly feel overwhelming.

It is almost like your life becomes a retrospective evaluation. What you thought was normal was really you constantly adapting, masking, struggling quietly, until things shift and what has always been there becomes visible.

This is not about developing ADHD later in life, it is about finally recognising something that has always been part of your story, something that has been unacknowledged.

And you are not alone in this.

If this sounds familiar, the OnTrac Group Therapy Program is here to help. We will explore how ADHD affects you, work through tools that ease daily life, and find support in connecting with others who understand.

If you would like to know more about how this program could help, please feel free to message me to learn about upcoming groups.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

It’s a day to talk openly about su***de and mental health, to stand together in compassion, and to remind people they are not alone.

Every life lost leaves an empty chair at the table and a hole that can never be filled. While nothing takes away that pain, we can change the story. By starting conversations, reaching out sooner, and making support accessible, lives can be saved.

At Amy Cox Counselling Services, I am committed to being part of that change. If you or someone you love is struggling, please reach out. Hope and support are within reach.

Hi everyone, I thought it was time to reintroduce myself and share a little about what I do.

I’m Amy – a local Largs mum with lived experience of parenting, partnering, and living with neurodiversity. I absolutely love being part of the neurospicy world and my passion is supporting families like mine to not just get by, but truly thrive.

Lately, I’ve had the privilege of working with the ADHD Foundation, supporting teens and tweens around Australia who are living with ADHD. It’s been incredibly rewarding to see these young people gain confidence, skills, and understanding about themselves.

In my counselling practice, I offer tailored therapeutic support so that every person leaves feeling more understood and supported than when they arrived. I work with:
- Kids (10+)
- Parents
- Couples
- Families

If you or someone you know could use a compassionate ear and practical support, I’m here to help.

Located at 16 Nile Street, Port Adelaide
Ph: 0439 680 008 or email amycox.accs@gmail.com

Because every family deserves the chance to thrive.

If it feels like you're growing apart, you're not alone.

Staying connected in a long-term relationship isn’t always easy. Life can bring challenges with parenting, financial strain, grief, infertility, infidelity or shifting priorities. These issues, if left unmanaged, can slowly create distance between you and your partner.

Couples therapy offers a space to slow down, listen, and learn how to really hear each other again. Communication is at the heart of feeling close and supported.

With years of experience helping couples navigate life’s tricky parts, I can support you in rebuilding trust, strengthening your connection and finding your way back to each other.

You don’t have to figure it out by yourselves.

18 June 2025 Free Discussion Group Session with Mark LeMessurier

BACK TO BASICS: principles to live a mentally healthy life. Why? When? How? What does it look like?

Current Australian and international research shows more kids are struggling with more complex needs, at younger ages, and in greater numbers than ever before. Why is this happening? The leading contributor appears to be the result of intensified environmental stress we have inserted into the lives of our children.

Stress factors range from parents trying to keep u with the increasing demands of life—financial, emotional, social, to the inescapable draw to a multitude of digital platforms. Suddenly, there’s no escaping from being plugged into the lives and judgement of others. But missing out can feel worse than the overload and anxiety it creates. And for many, adults too, these stress factors establish dysfunctional day-to-day habits and communication patterns.

Some mental health issues arise from the unexpected twists and turns of life. They are outside of our control and include disability, trauma, disorders, loss, sickness and so much more. However, the principles to live a mentally healthy life are therapeutic to draw on when life feels like it’s falling apart.

This workshop focusses on the everyday, ordinary things we can do, to support and maintain the best mental health of our kids and ourselves. Come along for a reset—I promise to present a range of totally practical ideas to help.

So much of raising an emotionally balanced child comes from being a clever ‘life-coach’ who is prepared to chip away, gently, and intelligently, at how to live. They are dependent on us knowing how to invest in them.

Date: Wednesday 18 June, 2025
Time: 10am to 12pm
Fullarton Park Community Centre
411 Fullarton Rd, Fullarton 5063Note: Please enter via the FRONT entrance of the building. The session will be held in the Lounge/ Dining Room.
