Isn’t this beautiful? 😍

TO THE WOMAN WHO IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY...

To the woman who has lost her spark.
To the woman whose get up and go, has well and truly gone.
This is for you.
This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day.
You didn’t sign up for that.
Remember when you used to laugh? Sing?
Throw caution to the wind?
Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect.
You can get that back again.
You really can.
And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.
It just means being kinder to you, feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.
Being brave enough to stop sometimes.
And rest.
It starts the moment you realise that you’re not quite who you used to be.
Some of that is good, some of that is not.
There are parts of you that need to be brought back.
And if anyone in your life is not okay with that… they are not your people. Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.
So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend, this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joy and no to things that don’t.

It’s really pretty simple.

Our Story

We are an adult Clinical Psychology practice, passionate about working with individuals or couples. We are located in Glenelg South, consulting Monday through to Thursday.

Our primary focus is working with trauma and its potential side effects. Trauma's are many and varied, and can include such things as exposure to war, sexual and/or physical assault, abuse, death of a loved one or an accident. We understand the impact a traumatic event can have on the quality of life of individuals and those around them. Resulting effects from traumatic exposure can include, but are not limited to :

post-traumatic stress

relationship difficulties

avoidance

depression

anxiety

substances use, and/or

sleep difficulties

We understand that experiencing a trauma and coping with the aftermath is not easy and that people may need some assistance and strategies. We also understand that working with your experience may not be pleasant and can be challenging; so we would like to support you, work with you, and help you heal through growth. We ensure you feel safe, understood and supported throughout your process.

We are also committed to working with couples. It's common for relationships to experience "ups and downs"; however, sometimes we need some guidance from an experienced professional who can assist with understanding the challenges, providing skills that open up connection, and offering clarity regarding a way forward. We provide a safe space for couples to be heard and validated, we suggest tools that open up connection, and offer clarity regarding a way forward.

We also work with adults who may be dealing with other challenges, such as fear and/or anxiety; feeling down, flat or lacking in motivation and energy; stress in relationships, family, or career; sexual difficulties; sleep difficulties; and addictions. Or individuals who would like to focus on their personal growth and gain further self awareness.

Through creating a safe, professional, and trusting environment at Awaken Psychology we aim to assist people to learn ways of working differently with their challenges so that they can live a life they desire.
