Check out the Elysium Psychology blog post "Surprising Things Psychologists Can Help With", written by psychologist Aneka Srinivasan.

This blog post is a valuable read as it can broaden one's understanding of the diverse issues therapy can address beyond clinical diagnoses. It highlights the importance of supporting clients with everyday challenges (such as sleep, productivity, confidence, and decision-making), reinforcing a client-centred and holistic approach to practice. The article also serves as a strong model for effective psychoeducation, demonstrating how to clearly communicate psychological concepts to clients and the public. By normalising non-crisis support and showcasing preventive mental health care, it helps emerging psychologists build professional confidence, navigate supervision with a broader clinical lens, and strengthen their evolving professional identity.

Within the blog post, Aneka discusses the following topics:
- Sleep Difficulties
- Navigating Life Transitions
- Chronic Pain Management
- Improving Focus and Productivity
- Relationship Skills (Beyond Couples Counselling)
- Enhancing Performance
- Building Self-Confidence
- Decision-Making Support

Check out The Guardian article "Parents, don’t panic – healthy screen time for children is possible, if you follow these few simple tips".

Recommended by provisional psychologist Alice Stockdale.

In her article for The Guardian, Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr argues that parents shouldn’t panic over their children’s screen time and instead shift their focus from rigid time limits to more meaningful, thoughtful engagement with technology. She critiques the UK government’s proposal to cap children’s social media use at two hours a day, suggesting it’s an oversimplified approach rooted in outdated concerns. Regehr emphasises that not all screen time is equal—passively watching videos alone is vastly different from interactive, creative, or socially engaging digital experiences. Rather than obsessing over the number of hours spent on screens, she encourages parents to consider the quality of that time. For instance, watching a documentary with a child and discussing it together offers far more value than mindless scrolling or watching algorithm-fed content alone.

"This is a great recent article on screen time for kids. I find a lot of parents feel lost when it comes to screen time and how to navigate this, and this article has some great ideas. This article is also informed by research."
- Alice

Check out "The Open Emotion Wheel"

Recommended by provisional psychologist Joshua Venn.

"The Open Emotion Wheel is an engaging, useful tool for developing emotional literacy and regulation. It's interactive and gives users the option of selecting one or two emotions to help them articulate how they're feeling. Just like the traditional emotion wheel, it features the core six emotions in the centre and branches outwards into more complex emotions. This tool has come in really handy with children, as well as adults who struggle with the language to describe how they are feeling."

Brain break resource!

Recommended by provisional psychologist Pia Pille

This YouTube video is a short reminder of the effects of trauma.

Psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, author of "The Body Keeps the Score", highlights that trauma isn’t just a memory; it’s something the body and brain continue to feel and react to, even long after the event.

"Mental health is vital at every stage of life, yet older adults often face unique challenges that can impact their well-being. Feelings of loneliness, grief, and transitions in life roles are common, but support is available.​

I recommend the podcast "Transitions: Navigating the Older Years" by the Mental Health Professionals' Network (MHPN). This series features Australian mental health experts discussing topics such as ageing, identity, and emotional well-being in later life.

Whether you're an older adult, a caregiver, or someone interested in understanding the ageing process, this podcast offers valuable insights and practical advice."

"He Seemed Fine" - Understanding how men show mental health struggles, by provisional psychologist Matthew Hapsberg.

Many people believe men's su***de "comes out of nowhere." But research shows that men often show distress in different ways, and we may miss the signs. Common (but overlooked) signs of mental health struggles in men:

- Increased irritability or anger

- Withdrawing from mates or family

- Using more alcohol or drugs

- Complaints about physical pain or fatigue

- Becoming more reckless or taking risks

- Saying things like "what's the point?" or "everyone's better off without me"

These changes often appear before a crisis but may not look like typical "sadness" or "crying."

If you notice these shifts in someone you care about, reach out. You don't have to fix it — just listen and let them know they're not alone.
