~Introducing our new psychologist, Ken Turner!~

We are very excited to welcome Ken Turner to the Sunrise Peak Psychology team, commencing from 29 June 2026.

Ken is a psychologist who brings a grounded, thoughtful and relational approach to therapy. He works with older adolescents and adults across a range of presentations including anxiety, low mood, trauma, grief, emotional regulation difficulties, identity concerns, life transitions and relationship challenges.

Ken has experience working across both custodial and community mental health settings and draws from a range of evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT, EFT and Internal Family Systems (IFS), tailoring therapy to each individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

He is particularly passionate about helping people move beyond simply managing symptoms and instead develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their patterns and what may be keeping them stuck.

Ken also has a strong interest in nature-based therapy and offers walk-and-talk sessions where appropriate.

Ken will be available Monday to Thursday, including before and after work appointments, with evening appointments available until 8pm on Thursdays.

Immediate availability from 29 June 2026.

To make an appointment with Ken, please contact our team via email at admin@sunrisepeakpsychology.com or click the Book Now button via our website.

~ We're Moving! ~

We are so excited to share that Sunrise Peak Psychology and Adventure Therapy will be moving into a new space in Ashgrove later this year.

Over the past few years, Sunrise Peak has continued to grow and this next step will allow us to expand our team, offer more services to the community and create a space that truly reflects who we are and where we’re heading.

While we’ll be sad to leave the wonderful team at The Work Well, we are incredibly grateful for the support and relationships we have built there over the years.

We can’t wait to share more of the journey with you over the coming months, including behind-the-scenes updates as we bring the new space to life.

Karen, Debbie, Jacinta, Kylie and Atholl from the Sunrise Peak Team and Chloe from Strive Health Collective

~ Final Days for Early Bird ~

Our Bali Wellness Retreat (3 – 7 October 2026) is designed for psychologists and health professionals who are wanting to step away from the pace of clinical work and reconnect with more sustainable ways of practising.

Across five days in Nusa Lembongan, the retreat combines meaningful professional development with genuine rest.

The workshop component includes three experiential sessions focused on:
✨ Burnout and compassion fatigue
✨ Boundaries and balance in practice
✨ Clarifying values and direction

Alongside this, the retreat includes accommodation, meals and a range of restorative experiences including snorkelling, spa treatments and morning movement.

This is a small, intentionally held group to allow space for reflection, connection and practical integration, not a traditional lecture-style PD.

Early bird pricing closes this Wednesday.

If you have been considering it, now is a good time to take a look.

~Our New Group Programs~

We are really excited to be introducing a new series of small group programs for children and teens at Sunrise Peak, starting from July.

These 6 week programs have been thoughtfully designed to support young people with some of the most common challenges we see: anxiety, big emotions, low mood and difficulties with friendships and connection.

Each group is grounded in evidence-based approaches, while still feeling engaging, practical and supportive for the young person in the room.

Groups are intentionally kept small to create a safe and comfortable space where participants can build skills, confidence and connection over time.

Across the year, we will be offering:
✨ Exhale (anxiety and overwhelm)
✨ Basecamp (big emotions and early regulation skills)
✨ Recharge (low mood and motivation)
✨ Level Up (emotional regulation and resilience)
✨ Circle (social confidence and connection)

Sessions run for 6 weeks (1 hour each), held in the afternoons after school.

If you think one of these groups may be a good fit for your young person, we would love to hear from you.

You can contact us via our website at www.sunrisepeakpsychology.com.au or via email at admin@sunrisepeakpsychology.com.

~Attending Therapy for the First Time~

Attending therapy for the first time can feel like a big step. It’s common to wonder whether your concerns are “serious enough,” whether you’ll know what to say or whether it will feel uncomfortable.

You don’t need to have everything worked out before you come. The first session is about understanding what’s been happening, what feels hard and what you would like to be different. Therapy is collaborative and paced according to what feels manageable.

Importantly, therapy isn’t only for crisis. Many people attend to prevent things from escalating, to improve coping or to better understand patterns in their relationships, work or parenting.

If you’ve been considering therapy but hesitating, that hesitation is very human. Often the most difficult part is making the first booking.

At Sunrise Peak Psychology, we offer evidence-based therapy for children, adolescents, adults and couples, both in clinic and through outdoor Walk and Talk sessions across Brisbane. If it feels like the right time, you’re welcome to contact our admin team or visit our website to arrange an appointment.

~Couples Counselling with Atholl Murray~

Couples counselling can offer a space to slow things down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and find new ways of relating to one another.

Atholl Murray works with couples who want to build deeper connections, navigate conflict, and move forward through life changes with greater clarity and care. His approach is warm, collaborative and grounded in building safety and understanding as the foundation for meaningful change.

Atholl also works with individuals, supporting adults to make sense of life experiences, identity, relationships and emotional challenges, and to develop ways of living that feel more aligned, alive and sustainable.

Areas Atholl commonly supports include:
• Relationship and communication difficulties
• Navigating life transitions and major decisions
• Identity, gender and sexuality
• Emotional regulation and understanding patterns from past experiences

Atholl sees clients aged 16 years and over and is currently accepting new clients.

Appointments are available on Fridays, alternating between in-clinic sessions at Paddington and walk-and-talk sessions at Toohey Forest.

~Our clinic rooms~

Welcome to a glimpse into our clinic spaces, which are at the heart of the work we do.

Most of our therapy happens in these rooms, where we aim to create an environment that feels calm, private and welcoming. Having a space that feels safe and predictable can make it easier to slow down, talk openly and begin to make sense of things that might feel heavy or confusing.

Whether someone is coming in for the first time or returning after a break, our hope is that these rooms feel like a place where people can take a breath, feel heard and be supported at their own pace.
