Not to mention that carers are often neurodivergent as well! (And let’s not even get started on the diagnostic process 😵‍💫).

For those who are in the support role, we see you and validate your experience.

We hope that when you come to see us, you can come knowing you can take a breath and relax for a a second in the waiting room, knowing you deserve care and rest too.

If there’s ever anything we can do to support you in this space, let us know. We do also have an additional waiting room space off to the side so if you do want to go into a quiet space, we’re happy to make you a cuppa and set you up in there. Just let us know and we’ll do our best to support you in the way you should be supported.

Also, if you are able, please consider donating blood.

Lifeblood issued several life-threatening orders for O negative blood on Sunday, in the wake of the Bondi Beach terror attack.

Forty-two people were taken to hospital, including police officers responding to the scene.

In an address to the nation, New South Wales Premier Chris Minns issued a clear call to action:

“If you want to help, if you want to do something practical to help, please give blood,” he said.

Some days you just need a gentle reminder… that you’re doing better than you think, growing more than you notice, and becoming someone your younger self would be so proud of. 🥰
We’re all changing, evolving, unfolding in our own ways and it’s okay if you’re not the person you used to be.
It’s okay if your journey looks different than you imagined.
It’s okay if you’re still figuring out who you’re becoming. That’s part of being human. 💛

And please remember this:
You are not “too much.”
You were never too loud, too emotional, too sensitive, too soft. You are exactly enough in the ways that matter.
There is room for your dreams here.
There is space for your heart, even on the days it feels heavy or complicated.

Something good is making its way toward you, quietly, slowly, but surely.
The kind of good you don’t have to chase or fight for.
The kind that feels like alignment, relief, and finally being held by life again. ✨

Your feelings? Valid. Even the messy ones. Even the ones you hide.
Even the ones that arrive without warning. They’re not signs of weakness, they’re signs you’re alive, aware, and growing.

So take a breath. Softly come back to yourself.
You’re not behind. You’re not late.
You’re just becoming. ❤️

Not to be dramatic (but also, yes): it’s such a good day when someone crushes their goals around mental health and independence.

Even in outpatients, we celebrate every single win. And while it’s bittersweet when someone doesn’t need therapy as often (or at all) - we’re always rooting for that.

You may not see us every week, but we’re still cheering from the sidelines. A win for you is a win for us and we’re just glad we got to be work with you for the time we did.

🎓 Lunch & Learn: The Adolescent Brain 🧠

Date: Tuesday 4th of December | Time: 12-1pm | Location: Online or here at

As the year wraps up and we all brace for holiday chaos, what better time to explore why teenagers are biologically wired for said chaos?

Join us this December for our final Lunch & Learn of the year as we dig into The Adolescent Brain - where emotions run high, logic runs low, and risk-taking is practically a sport. Whether you parent one, teach one, manage one, or used to be one (hint: you did), this session will take fascinating look into one of the most powerful (and perplexing!) engines of change: the adolescent brain.

So come curious and leave a little wiser as we close out the year with insight, reflection, and a brain that’s still learning - just like the rest of us.

ND: Sisu Therapies is not liable for any "cringe" feelings you may experience whilst reflecting on your own teenage years...
