By partnering with PhysioWest, we’re proud to support their commitment to delivering high-quality, solutions-focused care. Their passion for listening to each client’s story and creating personalised plans perfectly complements our shared goal of helping people live life to the fullest.

Helping young people navigate tragedy:
The recent Bondi mass murder has left many young people feeling shocked, anxious, and overwhelmed. With the right support, we can help young people process these feelings in healthier ways.

Earlier this year, I spoke with Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)’s Behind the News about how children can manage their responses to upsetting news stories. You can watch that segment here:

BTN has also created a special segment to help young people make sense of this attack:

Key ways to support young people right now:
• Validate feelings: Let them know it’s okay to feel sad, scared, or confused.
• Limit exposure: Encourage breaks from constant news and social media updates.
• Create safety: Reassure them about what’s being done to keep communities safe.
• Encourage expression: Talking, drawing, or journalling can help process emotions.
• Show constructive coping: It’s normal for adults to feel upset too. What matters is showing children that strong feelings can be managed in healthy ways - like getting outside in nature, talking to friends, or taking time to breathe.

If you are a parent, caregiver or educator, you do have the capacity to help young people feel supported and resilient during extremely difficult times. Building that capacity requires you to prioritise taking care of yourself, too ❤️

What are some ways we can stay informed while also looking after our mental health?

Our thoughts are with the Jewish community, the victims and all people affected by the shocking and tragic attack that occurred in Bondi Beach, Sydney yesterday. We also send our utmost admiration and commendation to the members of the community and first responders who so bravely put their own lives at risk to save and care for others.

The APS condemns this abhorrent attack on innocent people as they attended an event to mark the first day of Hanukkah. Hate has no place in our society and we look to the Government working with community and professional groups to address this distressing issue and create safety in our communities.

Feelings such as immense grief, shock, horror and fear will be widespread in the community, and across the country as the event is broadcast via media channels and discussed in official, social and informal ways. These feelings are normal to experience, and it can take a few days, weeks or even months to recover from a traumatic event.

Sometimes the most meaningful moments start with a laugh.

That’s exactly what happened when I spoke to - my favourite author - at the Regal Theatre during his book launch and interview a few weeks ago. It was a deeply happy and memorable experience for me.

Books like Trent Dalton’s remind us that stories heal. They help us make sense of trauma and chaos, connect with others, and find hope. As a psychologist, I see this every day - when someone retells and reframes their story, they reclaim their life.

In therapy, we explore the narratives people carry - the ones that weigh them down and the ones that lift them up. Just like in literature, the act of telling and retelling can transform pain into purpose. ❤️

For the next two nights, I’m taking part in training in Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) with the original co-developers, live from Germany.

NET is a powerful, evidence-based approach for people who have lived through complex or repeated trauma. What I love most is how it honours a person’s whole life story—the pain, yes, but also the strengths, connections, and moments of survival that shaped them.

Because of the time zone difference, I’ll be learning until 2:30am, fuelled by purpose (and definitely coffee).
But this work matters, and I’m grateful for the chance to deepen my skills so I can better support the clients who trust me with their stories.

Here’s to meaningful learning, even in the quiet hours of the night. ❤️
