Moving Forward Clinical Psychologists

Moving Forward Clinical Psychologists We understand that finding the right kind of help can be difficult.

Like taking any big step, it is common to feel uncertain about coming to see someone, especially if it is the first time…

We are passionate about helping people.

Spending time in nature can have a powerful impact on mental wellbeing.
Research shows that even short periods outdoors can help reduce stress, improve mood and help support emotional regulation.
A walk by the water, time in the bush or simply sitting outside can help calm the nervous system and create space to breathe.
Nature doesn’t fix everything — but it can be a gentle place to begin.

January often arrives with pressure to reset everything — new goals, new habits, new you.

But meaningful change doesn’t come from urgency or perfection. It comes from understanding yourself, reflecting on what you actually need, and taking small, sustainable steps forward.

This year, you’re allowed to move gently.
You’re allowed to pause, reflect, and start where you are.

If you’d like support setting intentions that feel realistic and supportive of your mental wellbeing, we’re here 😊

Not everyone feels festive in December — and that’s okay. If you’re carrying grief, stress, burnout, or simply don’t feel Christmas joy, your feelings are valid.

You do not have to:
• Attend every event
• Pretend everything is fine
• Hold everything together for others
• Have the “perfect” Christmas

You can choose what you have capacity for. You can prioritise your wellbeing. You can feel whatever you feel.
If your emotions feel heavy this month, support is available 💚

Medicare now asks that clients have a regular GP who oversees their mental health care. This may be recorded through MyMedicare or simply noted by your GP.

Most clients receive a $145.25 Medicare rebate per psychology appointment.
To claim this, we need a referral letter from your GP — not just the plan itself.
📄 Your GP’s Referral Must Include:
• Your name & DOB
• Reason for referral
• GP name, provider number & clinic
• Plan type (e.g., Mental Health Treatment Plan)
• Signed & dated

🔄 Do I need a new MHCP every year?
No. Your GP can provide a new referral letter unless your mental health concerns have significantly changed.

If you’re unsure what you need, we’re happy to guide you 🌿

The lead-up to Christmas can bring joy — but also pressure, overstimulation, grief, anxiety or fatigue. If this season feels heavier than you expected, you’re not alone.
Gentle ways to support yourself this week:
• Create small pockets of rest
• Set boundaries around events
• Say “no” without guilt
• Choose what feels meaningful, not what feels expected
• Reach out if the season feels overwhelming
You deserve a December that feels manageable and grounded ✨

Trauma can leave the brain feeling “stuck,” even long after the event has passed. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a world-recognised, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and structured way.
EMDR is backed by extensive research and is acknowledged by major health bodies — including the World Health Organization — as an effective treatment for trauma and PTSD.
If you’ve ever wondered how EMDR works, here’s a short, helpful clip explaining the process:

If you’re navigating trauma and want to explore effective, research-supported therapy options, we’re here to help.

Not every day feels easy, but even in tough moments, there are glimmers 🌿✨
A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger, it’s a tiny moment that sparks peace, joy, or gratitude.
☀️ The warmth of morning sun.
🐾 A cuddle from your pet.
🎶 A favourite song.
💬 A kind word from someone you love.
When you start noticing these moments, your brain learns to find more of them and slowly, the light begins to outshine the heavy.
Start looking for your glimmers today 💛

As we head into December and the end of year season approaches, many of us feel pressure, exhaustion or anticipatory stress. Remember: taking care of your mental health now is not optional, it’s essential.
Step into the season from a place of strength and balance. We’re here to support you ✨
