The Christmas season is almost here, and our office will be closing while our team recharges and enjoys time with loved ones. We’ll return refreshed and ready to continue supporting our wonderful families in the new year.

As psychologists, we are always inspired by the ways people find meaning, connection and resilience. Recently at Danebank High School’s Year 12 exhibition, Annie created a video project on the mental health benefits of volunteering.

Annie’s work stood out not only for its creativity and technical ex*****on but also for its heartfelt message: that giving back to others can also nurture our own wellbeing. This kind of youth-led innovation is a wonderful reminder that young people are already linking everyday activities with positive mental health practices.

Her project not only showcases impressive creativity and technical skill, it also delivers an important message: when we give back to others, we nurture our own wellbeing. Volunteering offers connection, perspective and purpose, three elements that are essential to mental health.

From a psychological perspective, this also aligns with Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), particularly the ACCEPTS skills, which encourage us to manage overwhelming emotions through healthy distractions like contributing and meaningful activities.

It’s remarkable to see such insight and innovation from someone so young, and a wonderful reminder that acts of service can strengthen both community and self. We wish Annie every success in the near future as she continues to grow her skills and creativity.

Big update at Rise Up Psychological Services today 🌱.
We’ve just installed acoustic panels for greater privacy and refreshed our furniture to make the space feel even more safe, homely, and welcoming.

Our goal is always the same: to create an environment where children, families, and adults feel comfortable, supported, and respected — a place that feels like home, not a clinic 💜.

Have you ever tried immersing yourself in cold water? The cold shock helps build resiliency, restore balance to the nervous system and improve cognitive function. It improves mood by increasing endorphin levels and decrease stress hormones, leading to better mood, reduced anxiety, and increased mental clarity. Soak Bathhouse in Alexandria has a cold-water plunge pool that’s worth the try .bathhouse

Child anxiety signs every parent should know 💭

Anxiety in children doesn’t always look like worry. It can appear as:
✨ Clinginess or overdependence
✨ Constant reassurance-seeking
✨ Meltdowns or shutting down
✨ Avoiding tasks or giving up quickly

At Rise Up Psychological Services, we help children manage anxiety and build resilience 🌱.

Our psychologists are trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and the internationally recognised Cool Kids Program for Anxiety. These evidence-based programs give children practical tools to:
💡 Understand their worries
💡 Face fears step by step
💡 Build confidence and independence

🏡 We provide a safe, homely environment — where therapy feels welcoming.

We proudly support families across Sydney and nationwide (via telehealth), including NDIS participants.

💜 With the right support, children can thrive.
