It’s been a while since we introduced ourselves! Meet Dana and Rebecca - the lovely faces behind Dixie and Thyme Counselling.

We are excited to say that we are accepting new clients in Tamworth and via Telehealth, and our books are currently closed in Gunnedah.

It’s disappointing that we have to make this post every year but if you are unwell please do not come into the office. It puts our staff and clients at risk of becoming unwell, and we have staff and clients who have compromised immune systems.

If you are unwell, telehealth (phone or video) is an available so you won’t miss out on your appointment. If this isn’t an option for you, we will reschedule your session to the next available time.

I had an email come through from the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) this morning with a pretty sobering statistic that men account for 75% of all suicides in Australia.

This is your sign to check in with all of your mates. The ones who seem like they are doing well and are always tough are probably the ones who need it the most.

Fellas - you don’t need to suffer in silence. I know society says that men shouldn’t show emotion and they have to be strong all the time. The thing that they don’t say is strength comes from vulnerability, and seeking help and support. You don’t have to go at it on your own.

I am excited to announce that Dixie and Thyme Counselling has been nominated for the 2025 Tamworth Business Chamber Quality Business Awards.

This means that we have been nominated every year that we have been open and it has been such a privilege to be able to support the community in the way that we do.

This is a huge thank you to the community for your ongoing support.

Sometimes it can be hard to remember our worth when the world around us gets really loud.

It is important to maintain our boundaries, and step away from a situation to remind ourselves of what is important to then determine what no longer serves us.

Are you seen and valued at work, or are you not progressing in your career because your contributions are being overlooked?

Are you in a relationship that makes you feel unseen and unheard, or do you feel supported and respected?

Do your friends build you up, or do they bring you down?

As humans in a very busy and loud world that is full of unrealistic expectations and demands, to know what we are worth and live authentically by what is important to us.

Today is World Social Work Day! The theme this year is ‘strengthening intergenerational solidarity for enduring wellbeing’.

This theme places an emphasis on the importance of caring and showing respect across generations in order to build stronger communities, sustain the environment, and share wisdom for a better future.

We are proud to be a team of Social Workers and love being able to contribute to the community in the way that we do.

Did you know that approximately 95% of all serotonin produced in the body comes from your gut?

Serotonin plays a crucial role in helping with bodily functions such as: mood, sleep, appetite, blood clotting, healing wounds, digestion, anxiety, and sexual desire. Having low levels of serotonin can have a negative impact on these things and exacerbate mood disorders such as depression.

There are ways to boost your serotonin levels which include:
🌱 pharmacological interventions such as SSRIs
🌱 exposure to sunlight
🌱 regular exercise
🌱 balanced diet
🌱 meditation and mindfulness

We often get asked many questions about how to be referred to us, what sort of presentations we work with and what kind of interventions we use.

We have put together a quick reference guide which hopefully helps to answer some of these questions 😊

This is a friendly reminder that you are allowed to talk about what happened to you. It is a part of your story and it is okay to share this if you wish to do so.

As some of you may know, I injured my ankle quite badly close to 6 months ago and that I have been seeing specialists to try and get it fixed.

I can now say that I am getting my ankle reconstructed tomorrow and will be taking medical leave. I have tried to minimise disruption to services by doing this over Country Music while we are already closed.

What this means for all of my clients moving forward for the next 2-3 months:
- appointments will be made to be Telehealth wherever possible and no face-to-face appointments will be available for at least 2-3 weeks
- face-to-face services in Gunnedah will be on hold until I am able to drive again which is expected to be around 2 months but I will provide an update when these will resume. All clients will still be seen via Telehealth temporarily
- I will be working from a reduced case load for the first month after surgery. This will have no impact to current clients as I had planned for this just incase I had to take time off
- I will not be able to use the sensory room for sessions for some time due to there not being chairs and only bean bags, and will not be doing walk and talk therapy

However, once I return to a full case load I will have immediate capacity to start new clients which is exciting and doesn’t happen in my diary too often, and we are still accepting referrals while I am off.

If you are concerned how this will impact your appointments, please call 0499 565 570 or email: dana@dixieandthymecounselling.com
