πŸ–€ Holding each other through the heartbreak πŸ–€

In the wake of the devastating events at Bondi, our hearts are with every life lost, every family grieving, and every person whose sense of safety has been shaken.

In times like this, compassion matters.
Love matters.
Community matters.

Like this image, may we hold one another a little closer β€” across ages, cultures, and walks of life.
It’s okay to feel rattled.
It’s okay to grieve people you never knew.
It’s okay to slow down.

We honour the first responders and everyday community heroes who showed courage, care, and humanity when it mattered most.

Healing begins in small moments β€” checking in, offering kindness, allowing rest, and reminding each other we’re not alone.
Be gentle with yourself.
Be gentle with each other.

Stress doesn’t always show up loudly β€” sometimes, it builds little by little until you feel drained.
Here’s a gentle reminder: small steps count. 🌱

✨ Take one deep breath.
✨ Step outside for a short walk.
✨ Put your phone down for a few minutes.
✨ Drink water. Stretch. Pause.

You don’t need to have it all together β€” just give yourself tiny moments of calm. πŸ’›
Because your body deserves to feel safe, even on busy days.

When people are overwhelmed, kindness heals more than advice.

πŸ’¬ Say: β€œI’m here for you.”
🀝 Offer small help β€” a meal, a message, or quiet company.
❀️ Remember: their irritability is pain, not disrespect.

Compassion doesn’t fix everything β€” but it softens the struggle. 🌿

Sometimes, what people need most isn’t a solution β€” it’s someone who stays.

Give Your Child the Best Start to the 2026 School Year πŸš€

The beginning of a new school year can set the tone for your child’s confidence, learning, and wellbeing. With only 2 assessment spots left for 2025, now is the perfect time to proactively prepare your child for a strong and successful 2026.

Imagine beginning the school year already knowing exactly how to support your childβ€”what they need, how they learn best, and what strategies will help them thrive. A psychological assessment can offer that clarity.

Clinical Psychologist Felicity Webster provides comprehensive assessments for children and teens who may benefit from understanding their learning profile, attention, or developmental needsβ€”including ADHD, Autism, and a range of learning assessments.

Why parents are choosing to assess now:

β€’ Start 2026 with confidence β€” Know your child’s strengths and support needs before the school year begins.
β€’ Tailored school strategies β€” Equip teachers (and parents) with clear, practical recommendations that make a real difference.
β€’ Avoid the January rush β€” Secure your spot now and begin the year prepared, not stressed.
β€’ Early insight = early support β€” The sooner you understand your child’s needs, the sooner they can get the help that moves them forward.

Give your child the gift of clarity, confidence, and a smoother school journey.

πŸ“ž Call or email us today to book one of the final assessment spots.

When someone feels safe, seen, and supported, their healing grows stronger. 🌱

✨ Celebrate the small steps.

Sometimes, the best way to help is simply to be there. πŸ’¬

πŸ’­ β€œIf you learned to stay quiet to keep the peace β€” this is for you.”

For many, silence wasn’t a choice β€” it was survival.
But true peace isn’t about staying quiet, it’s about feeling safe enough to speak. 🌿

At The Stress & Trauma Clinic, we help you find your voice again β€” safely, gently, and with care.
