My very first client as a student psychologist (me 24 years old clueless) was with a middle aged couple who basically yelled at each other the whole session. It was overwhelming and to this day I still don't see couples 🤣.

But.. I am working with some clients at the moment with relationship conflict but with only one person out of two in therapy, my hands felt tied. So I did some research..

Learn practical strategies to manage relationship conflict and communicate more effectively — even if your partner won’t attend therapy.

Wow, its been a long time since posting here. Behind the scenes though, I've been busy creating a new private clinic and brand, working in a NFP charity in Perth, amongst getting a lot more grey hair (I really need to update my profile photo 😅).

For anyone interested in ADHD research, you may have been bombarded with the news coverage of a certain study recently with commentary about ADHD medication and quality of life. For an alternative analysis as opposed to mainstream media portrayals, you're welcome to check out this post and see my new website at the same time (still a work in progress).

Worried about ADHD medication and you or your child’s wellbeing? Learn what the latest study really says—and how media reports may mislead.
