Winnie and I will be doing more intensive clinical training on Friday this week, and for four days next week.

For now, she is relaxing with one of her faves at home.

Can’t wait to have her working in the practice 💕

Winnie came for a visit to the practice early on Saturday morning. Some lovely cuddles and big smiles from everyone.

Winnie isn’t yet ready for therapy work. Just waiting for Winnie’s teenage tendencies to finish, but great to introduce her to willing participants 💕🐶

Hi everyone,

We’ve had to stop practicing, due to the cyclone (and the building we are in is locked-down for safety).

To my clients - you are in my thoughts and so sorry we have had to close. Your welfare is uppermost in my mind.

Take great care of yourselves, be well and safe. See you on the other side 🥰🥰

It’s okay to be worried or nervous. Just wanted to say that in case you needed permission to feel whatever it is you’re feeling.

Thank you to Executive Functioning FB site for sharing Adam Grant’s quote.

I love this quote so much and try to practice it as much as possible. It’s particularly uplifting when people have no idea who it came from.

We are looking forward to 2025, where we are adding some additional therapies for clients and external supervision for registered counsellors.

Wishing you all good health, happiness and rest over the festive season. See you in 2025! 🙏🏻

Happy first birthday to our therapy puppy in-waiting, Miss Winnie!

She loves everyone she meets and shaping up to be a very friendly and intelligent young lady.

Winnie and I will be undertaking a intensive clinical course from the 16th-20th December, to become an accredited team.

For now Winnie is like a teenager - testing all the boundaries, trying to eat things she shouldn’t, and making lots of noise.

We are so fortunate to have her as part of our family and can’t wait to have her working in the practice 🐶💕.
