Heading to the Northern Rivers this weekend for a workshop that feels quietly important.

A space that brings together:
– First Nations wisdom and leadership
– We Al-li’s 6 Stages of Healing
– Somatic Experiencing®
– Story, body, community, and nature

Not about adding more techniques.

More about remembering something.

That healing happens in relationship.
That the body already knows.
That stories need to be held, not fixed.

Looking forward to listening, learning, and being in it.

That “what’s your attachment style?” quiz you just took? It’s probably not telling you what you think it is.
The popular attachment style framework — anxious, avoidant, secure — comes from social psychology research on adult romantic relationships. It measures what you consciously believe about yourself in relationship. That’s useful. But it’s not the same thing as the original attachment theory developed by Bowlby, Ainsworth, and Mary Main — which assesses unconscious relational processes shaped by your earliest caregiving experiences.
The difference matters. Especially if you’ve done years of self-work, understand your “style” inside out, and still find the same patterns showing up.
That’s often a sign that something deeper needs attention — something a quiz can’t reach.
Attachment-informed healing happens in relationship, over time, with consistency and attunement. Not in four categories and a paragraph of description.

Turns out the Beastie Boys were giving us solid life advice all along.
We’re pretty good at pushing through — ignoring the signals, telling ourselves we’re fine… until we’re not.
Your body is talking to you all the time. The question is whether you’re listening.
So before things go sideways — how are you actually doing right now? 🙏

Happy Easter 🌿

A gentle reminder that renewal doesn’t have to be dramatic.

Sometimes it’s quiet.
A small shift.
A softening.
A moment where something that felt frozen begins to move again.

We don’t always “start fresh” in big ways.
Often, we return to ourselves in small, meaningful ones.

However this season meets you — whether with energy, grief, hope, or stillness —
there is space for something new to emerge.

Wishing you moments of warmth, connection, and quiet renewal ✨

Depersonalisation can feel unsettling. People often describe a sense of distance from themselves, their body, or their emotions.

These experiences are not a loss of reality. They are ways the mind adapts when something has felt overwhelming or difficult to stay close to. Rather than something to push away, depersonalisation can be understood as a protective response that developed in relationship to stress or threat.

In psychotherapy, you can become curious about these experiences. Over time, you can experience a gradual return to a greater sense of connection with yourself.

Beginning therapy can feel unfamiliar. Many people are unsure what to expect from a session.
Psychotherapy offers a space to speak openly and reflect on experience at your pace. Over time, experiences that once felt confusing or isolating can become more understandable and easier to carry.

PACFA ACCREDITED LOW-COST SUPERVISION GROUPS
These small group supervision spaces are created as a place to think, feel, and reflect together — not just about the work, but about how we are in the work.
With a maximum of six participants, the groups are intentionally kept small to allow for depth, safety, and genuine connection.
This is a space where uncertainty can be brought in, where clinical questions can unfold over time, and where your own experience as a therapist is welcomed as part of the process.

STRUCTURE
* Max 6 participants
* 2 hours
* $160 per session ($80/hour)
* Monthly
GROUP TIMES
* Mondays 4–6pm
* Fridays 4–6pm
Other times can be added if there is enough interest.

Sign up here if you are interested to receive more information.
