If you would like to enquire more about our services please phone our office between 9 to 5 weekdays on 9545 4772 and speak to our friendly intake psychologists. Or follow the links on our Contact Us page and send us an email and we will get back to you. We have both male and female psychogolists of various ages and therapeutic orientation to suit everyone. Gymea Lily Psychotherapy Centre is psychological practice with a difference. We have specialists in psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults and adolescents and, it is child equivalent, play therapy. Therefore along with cognitive behavioural interventions, we are also able to help our patients think about more complex and enduring concerns. The GLPC is designed to be a place where people can feel assured they are receiving the best support for their needs. As we are not constrained by policies and budgets, our clinicians are able to offer the most effective treatment for presenting problems. We hope to offer a centre where long term psychoanalytical psychotherapy is still appreciated and able to be provided by clinicians who are highly qualified and trained in this approach. Long term treatment of this kind of emphasis work with the inner aspects of a person, be they adult or child. In this approach, there is a particular emphasis on feelings and imagination, which allows for less explainable symptoms with no apparent cause, to be dealt with. The centre is also set up to offer other speciality treatments to children as well as parents. Gymea Lily Psychotherapy Centre often sees children who require more support than shorter term therapies offered elsewhere. We provide both dry and wet play therapy rooms, as well as running an infant clinic where we can help parents with the tasks of managing their new responsibilities. Finally, we offer long term group psychotherapy, This enables people who are interested in the possibilities of group work, either exclusively or in conjunction with individuals sessions, to work through concerns with both their peers and therapist. Group psychotherapy can also be appealing, as it is a more affordable option.

AI chatbots create the fantasy of the always available, understanding Other. Such pseudotherapy inhibits subjective growth by undermining our abilities to tolerate frustration and promotes regressive, infantile ways of relating to others.

“I used to think my job was to fix the meltdown, to fix the upset. Now I know—it’s to be the calm in it. I can be the calm in the storm.”

My daughter was recently sobbing over something that seemed small. I felt that familiar urge to solve it, to make it stop. Then I remembered R.A.I.N.

🌧️ I Recognized her distress—I didn’t ignore how she was behaving or the emotion underneath.
🌧️ I Allowed it to exist without rushing her through it.
🌧️ I Investigated gently: “Are you feeling tired? Did something feel unfair?”
🌧️ I Nurtured her with presence, not perfection.

And slowly, the storm passed.

She didn’t need me to fix her feelings. She needed me to feel them with her.

Taking time to understand her behavior builds trust, resilience, and self-awareness, and I see her grow.

Parenting isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about showing up, especially when emotions run high. We don’t always get it right, but when we’re able to remember and use R.A.I.N., we’re building resilience and supporting growth.

Do you ever feel judged for caring so deeply about your child’s natural need to depend on you? 💛

It can feel strange — even discouraging — when so much parenting advice pushes “independence” long before little ones are ready.

If that resonates, this is for you ⬇️

“To foster independence we must first invite dependence; to promote individuation we must provide a sense of belonging and unity; to help the child separate we must assume the responsibility for keeping the child close.”
— Gabor Maté

I first read this when my eldest was just 8 months old. Sixteen years later, it feels more relevant than ever. Parenting isn’t about rushing independence — it’s about creating safety, closeness, and trust so our children naturally grow into it. 🌱

💬 I’d love to hear — have you ever felt pressured to encourage independence before your child was ready?
