🥱 Laying there awake at night filled with negative thoughts?

🥱 Maybe bedtime isn’t the right time to be challenging your brain!

🧠 What if you could learn a way to be besties with your mind?

✅ It’s possible. Try a different approach & very likely sleep a lot better!!!

✅ Counselling offers an opportunity to brain dump but also learn simple skills to help manage negativity.

🍍When we try to repair after a fight, we’re not just fixing the issue - we’re also reaching out for connection.

🍍Repair attempts are bids to reconnect, rebuild intimacy, and strengthen our bond.

🍍What would it look like to approach conflicts with curiosity, empathy, and a willingness to reconnect?

🧡 Do you feel like you’re doing everything “right” but still feel lost in the relationship?

🧡 Do you need help navigating tough conversations?

🧡 Relationships should ADD value to your life. If yours isn’t, let’s talk.

🕶️ My Saturday was enjoying the glorious Canberra weather volunteering at Marymead’s annual Spring Sale.

🕶️ They didn’t let me be in charge of the plants 🪴 ❌ as I’m known to “over care”for them (aka kill plants). 👠 Shoe stall was my gig!

🔗 If you are looking for connections, helping others is such a simple way!

🔗 Volunteering doesn’t have to be a huge commitment either. It can be an event, an hour or two at a skill you’re great at, anything.

🎁 I volunteer in the community by :
☀️being on 3 x committees,
☀️coaching women coming out of the DV journey,
☀️speaking at community groups,
☀️sharing knowledge for content for other allied health &
☀️am a co-facilitator for a Australia-wide mental health forum.

💐 Purposeful, connected & fun.

Finding yourself feeling disconnected from life?
Let’s meet up.

🩵 Kindness can be your superpower, even on the toughest days.

🩵 As a therapist, I’ve seen firsthand how little compassion can diffuse tension and bring people together.

😒 Feeling alone in a relationship can be just as painful as being single, because emotional disconnection from your partner can leave you feeling unseen, unheard, and unloved.

🤔 If this is you or you know someone going through this, seek support.

🩵 You CAN learn to work together to rebuild your connections and strengthen your relationship bond.

Need to know more? Let’s meet up.

🌸 In a new report involving partnered parents and their children, AIFS found that parents who are happy in their partner relationship have children with stronger friendships in adolescence, characterised by high levels of trust and communication.

🌸 Your relationships matters!

🌸 In contrast, the study found parents who have a lot of conflict in their partner relationship have children who tend to struggle more with friendships when they reach adolescence – with more trouble getting along with their peers, and weaker, less trusting friendships.

🌸 Reach out if you need to revisit what is important in your relationship.
