Today just keeps getting better and better ✨

This morning I officially signed the paperwork for construction to commence on Tribal Psychology’s new administrative office.

The land was cleared many months ago, but as anyone who has built before knows, there are permits, approvals, contracts, and plenty of behind-the-scenes steps before you can actually begin. Today marks the moment it all becomes real — the contract is signed.

Once the wet season eases up, construction will commence.

The picture attached is an impression of how the building will look once construction is complete — seeing the vision on paper makes it feel even more exciting.

This is a significant step forward for Tribal Psychology. Growth takes patience, persistence, and belief in what you’re building. Today feels like a milestone in that journey.

Grateful. Proud. Ready for what’s next.

Look what arrived today — another qualification under my belt! 🎓

This one fits beautifully alongside my PhD journey and has already deepened my thinking in ways that will strengthen both my research and clinical work. I gained so many valuable insights from the course, and just as importantly, I met some truly incredible people along the way.

I’m a big believer in surrounding yourself with good, grounded, inspiring people. It’s those people who challenge you, encourage you, and quietly lift you higher than you could ever go alone. Growth doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens in community.

Grateful for the learning. Grateful for the people. And always committed to becoming the best version of myself 🌿✨

Some days at Tribal Psychology don’t happen in the therapy room — they happen at the kitchen table or from my comfy chair, with a laptop, a cup of coffee, and a very full to-do list ☕💻

Running a clinic means wearing many hats. Some days I’m deep in finances, invoices, budgets and planning to make sure everything runs sustainably and ethically for our clients and clinicians. Other days I’m immersed in PhD study — reading, writing, analysing, and thinking carefully about how research can strengthen the work we do in practice.

And whether it’s work for the clinic or working on my PhD, one thing is guaranteed — I’m never doing it alone. Working from home means the dogs are always close by, very committed to “helping.” 🐾 You can see in the photos just how hard-working they are — offering guidance, supervision, and excellent company (especially when a break is needed).

Working from home gives me the quiet space to focus on the behind-the-scenes work that keeps Tribal Psychology strong. It’s not always glamorous, but it’s meaningful. Every spreadsheet balanced and every journal article reviewed ultimately supports better outcomes for the people and communities we serve.

Clinic life is more than appointments — it’s vision, governance, learning, growth… and a couple of furry co-workers keeping me accountable 🤍

Follow your dreams. Let noone take them from you.

A small but important update for our space 😊

The Tribal Psychology and Big Sky Psychology door signs arrived last week, and this morning I finally popped them up on the office doors. It might seem like a simple thing, but clear signage makes a big difference — it helps clients find the right office easily, reduces stress when arriving for appointments, and creates a welcoming, professional first impression.

Good signage also helps build trust. When people can clearly see they’re in the right place, it adds a sense of reassurance and professionalism before they even walk through the door. Creating a calm, safe, and respectful environment starts from that very first moment.

Looking forward to welcoming everyone into the space — now a little easier to find 💛

Such a lovely way to wrap up my time in Katherine this morning — catching up over morning tea with Kylie, a beautiful friend, social worker, and all-round inspiring human who’s doing amazing work through her own practice here Healing Trust Hope Counselling .

I feel incredibly grateful to have friends and colleagues who are so aligned in values, vision, and heart. Those conversations that just flow because you’re on the same page are truly special.

This whole Katherine trip has been amazing — joining the Elders meeting yesterday with the Banatjarl Strongbala Wimun Grup, Kristy and I collaborating with the Walk In Talk In Centre, diving into research and PhD work, and now finishing with a great catch-up with Kylie before heading back to Darwin.

Honestly… what more could you ask for in a weekend? Feeling very grateful. 💛
