Please never forget
How brave it is
To continue to show up
In a story
that looks so
Different than what
You thought it’d be.
Please never forget
How brave it is
To dream up next chapters
While honoring the ones
That closed so painfully.
Please never forget
How brave it is,
To continue
To explore next pages
Despite feeling
Fear and anxiety.
Please never forget
How brave it is,
To hope and dream
Amidst the uncertainty.

Perspective makes a difference.

"Imagine that you are this bookshelf and grief were this thick, heavy, and permanent book sitting in it. Over time, that book doesn't change in shape or size. It just stays there and becomes a part of you. As the days and years pass, your library grows around it as everything you add to the shelf becomes another chapter and dimension in your life".

Language warning. But worth it.

EMDR is an evidence based treatment which many of the practitioners at PPATC offer.
"From the first session I felt different … After three sessions I noticed a reduction in my general anxiety, but particularly when I think about specific memories."
EMDR is being heralded as 'life-changing' for mental health treatment. But what is it?
You don’t always cry. Sometimes you just survive the day. You show up, you speak, you laugh a little — even though inside, a piece of you feels permanently shattered.
And that’s okay.
Because grief isn’t just sadness. It’s confusion. It’s anger. It’s the numbness that tricks you into thinking you’re okay… until you aren’t.
It’s the moment you realize you’re not broken — you’re different. Your heart has been changed forever.
If you’re reading this and feeling tired, I see you. It’s okay to be worn out. It’s okay to rest.
Your grief doesn’t have to look a certain way to be real. You don’t have to be “over it” or “healed” to be worthy of love.
You’re here. You’re still trying. That is enough.

A way to think about boundaries
Boundaries -This is an analogy I use with kids. It works well. 😀
“If you invite someone into your home and they start breaking things and insulting your decor, you don't have to hate them, but you wouldn't invite them into your home anymore.
Boundaries are doing the same thing except your home is your mind. Your home is your heart. Your home is your time and your life.
Uninvite the guests who don't know how to treat your home with respect.”

We are a psychology practice staffed by experienced clinicians who offer individually tailored support to both children and adults with a wide range of concerns. We are pleased to offer clinical psychology for adults with general mental health concerns, along with paediatric psychological assessment, paediatric psychological therapy, and a special focus on perinatal mental health services.
Psychological Services and Staff
Our areas of particular interest are providing clinical psychology support to paediatric and perinatal clients. As we reference it, the perinatal period includes pregnancy planning, pregnancy, postnatal, early childhood and parenting.
Dr Nicole Williams' focus is the transformational perinatal period. She has significant experience working with these groups in both the private and public spheres, and is an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at The University of Adelaide. Nicole also worked with Professor Sarah Blunden in her Paediatric Sleep Clinic for a number of years, and continues to support families with children who experience sleep concerns.
Dr Brooke Ferguson also supports many families in the perinatal period. She completed her PhD on children of parents with a mental illness, (children or adults), and takes great pleasure in supporting those who have had this experience, including advice regarding parenting strategies for those who have mental health concerns. Brooke’s further area of interest lies with transgender and sexuality concerns in children.
Dr Katherine Reynolds is a highly experienced clinical psychologist who has been working with adults with mental health concerns for many years in the public sector. She has also completed a PhD on perinatal mental health (specifically traumatic birth) and is pleased to offer therapy to perinatal clients as well as to adults with general mental health concerns.
Ms Sally Baron, registered psychologist, offers formal psycho-educational assessment, for issues such as learning difficulties, behavioural concerns, attention problems, and cognitive abilities. (Please note this does not include assessment specifically for autism, although children with autism may commonly have giftedness or cognitive ability assessed.)
Ms Chrisi Lambos is a clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience working with children, adults and couples. Her areas of particular interest include adult mental health, fertility concerns (including endometriosis), and couples counselling.
