Andrew: In your small groups, discuss the percentage of skills which are acquired, and how.
Me: It’s 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will. 5% pleasure, 50% pain… 😁*pauses expectantly*
Small group: *crickets*
Me: 🙁

My article for Alive Magazine this month. I continue to be awkward, but hopefully adorable, in my attempts at friendship. Skye only had one clarifying question about this article: who is black canary and who is batgirl in this situation? 😂 This is all my Birds of Prey dreams come true.

Explore the journey of overcoming jealousy and embracing joy through observational distancing and perspective taking in this heartfelt article.

FREE download 🙌 The A-Z of ACT metaphors! 😍
Metaphors are SO useful because they help our clients understand and apply ACT principles like acceptance, defusion, values, and committed action within their daily lives. While the best metaphors are created with the individual in mind, to be both relevant and personal, there are so many useful ones that already exist.

Download our A-Z guide of 26 metaphors commonly used in ACT from our resources section for FREE! https://buff.ly/rs4Ypp9

We also have Niklas Törneke's course "Using metaphor in psychotherapy: A practical users guide for therapists" available to purchase at 20% DISCOUNT as part of our on-demand sale (Ends 6th March 2026) https://buff.ly/kEY2Z1U

On drawing conclusions from the data:

Andrew: Sometimes this is the step that's missed.
Me: It's scary because you actually have to give your opinion.
Andrew: Yes. That's what the client is paying you for.

It is my genuine pleasure to introduce Kevin and his counselling service to our region. In addition to being down to earth, or perhaps to compliment it, the nature pictures on his website are all his own. ❤

Providing individual counselling in areas of personal wellbeing, grief, depression, anxiety, men's mental health and youth support.

An article I wrote for the Alive Magazine blog. Nerds, feel free to ask for the referenced study. I'm getting used to writing for an audience that aren't there to salivate over the reference section 😚.

Our Story

The Made It Clinic is here to see people with busy lives experience small and big wins. The mindset of 'making it' is about carving footholds into life's challenges and creating meaningful experiences through purposeful action. We aim to provide a range of services for the general public and for health professionals working in rural and remote areas. The goal of this is to improve the service capacity and well being of the Fraser Coast community. The clinic is guided by the following values: Purpose | Fortitude | Warmth | Honesty | Discovery You do not need a referral from a General Practitioner (GP) to access psychological services and assessment. However, if you have a mental health condition, or co-occurring physical health issues, it is recommended that you engage a GP because they can assist by coordinating your treatment and referring to specialists as required. Remember, the brain is just another organ in your body. It likes to think that it's the most complex one, but it's just as affected by nutrition, fatigue, and illness as every other organ. We are based in Hervey Bay, Queensland. Posts on the page are general, comedic, or opinion/interest only and should not be a substitute for seeing a psychologist or professional mental health advice. Always consider your personal situation and evidence based practice when making a decision about your health and well being. Information posted may become outdated as research in the field of human behaviour is expanding rapidly.
