Hey community, it’s Gemma from GMP Therapy here. I wanted to offer support in any way I can, so I’ve created this Bushfire Recovery & Wellbeing Plan for those who may be struggling right now.

🌱 This plan is a support – not a replacement for professional care.

It’s designed to help you gently check in with yourself, notice warning signs, and remember the supports available around you.

It’s important to be clear:

✨ This is not therapy.
✨ It’s not a diagnosis.
✨ It doesn’t replace professional mental health treatment when that is needed.

It’s simply a tool – something you can use now, on hard days, or when you don’t yet have the words for what you’re feeling.

If your distress feels overwhelming, ongoing, or unsafe, please reach out to a professional or crisis service. You don’t have to carry this alone. Support is strength. 💛

📞 Lifeline — 13 11 14
📞 Su***de Call Back Service — 1300 659 467
📞 Mental Health Triage (Vic) — 1300 874 243
🚨 In an emergency, call 000

Healing after bushfire isn’t linear. Be gentle with yourself. 💚

Bushfire Safety & Looking After Your Mental Health

There is bushfire activity continuing across the state today, extreme heat and strong winds. GMP Therapy is operating online only today and tomorrow.

We encourage everyone to take a few moments to plan and prepare — not just physically, but emotionally as well.

Helpful planning steps:
• Review your bushfire plan and know your safest options
• Keep important documents, medications and chargers accessible
• Check in on children, elderly family members and neighbours

Looking after your mental health during bushfires:
It is normal to experience fear, irritability, fatigue, racing thoughts or difficulty sleeping during times like this. Many of you may have history of bushfire exposure and memories might be flashing back. These reactions are your nervous system trying to protect you.

Try to:
• Keep up with regular meals and hydration
• Reassure yourself by being prepared and leaving early
• Maintain small daily routines
• Speak openly with someone you trust
• Use simple calming strategies when anxiety spikes

If at any point you feel overwhelmed, unsafe, or emotionally exhausted, please reach out for support — whether that’s to your GP, a trusted health professional, Lifeline (13 11 14) or local emergency services if there is immediate danger.

Thank you to all the emergency responders and volunteers that are working hard around the clock to keep us all safe.

Welcome to 2026 💚

Today’s highlights the importance of human connection.

“Recovery begins with connection. No one should have to walk recovery alone.”

For many people living with eating disorders, isolation is part of the illness — shame, secrecy and stigma keep them suffering in silence. And for those who don’t have strong family, financial security, or access to specialist care, the journey can feel impossible.

That’s why organisations like Eating Disorders Victoria are so vital. They provide connection, peer support, information, and a lifeline to people who might otherwise have no one to turn to.

This year, I’m raising funds to help ensure that no one in our community has to face recovery alone.

If you’re able to support, even a small donation can make a real difference 💚
Together, we can turn isolation into connection — and connection into hope.

Thank you for your support.
Here’s how your support creates real impact:
* $75 funds a peer mentoring activity, such as a shared meal preparation
* $150 supports an EDV Ambassador to share their story in a hospital inpatient program
* $250 helps a telehealth nurse support someone in recovery
* $500 trains a volunteer for an entire year at the EDV Hub
* $1,200 covers a complete early help-seeking journey for someone in need

📢 GMP Therapy Clinicians are officially out of the office until 5/1/2026

As we come to the end of 2025, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our team, colleagues, our clients, and our wider community for your continued trust, collaboration, and support throughout the year.

🌟 Welcoming Dallas & Amy to the GMP Therapy Team

In 2025, we proudly welcomed Dallas and Amy to the GMP Therapy team. Throughout the year, both clinicians made meaningful contributions to their roles and demonstrated a strong commitment to the individuals, families, and communities they worked alongside.

💚 Dallas

Throughout 2025, Dallas brought a thoughtful, compassionate, and patient presence to her clinical work. Her approach is grounded, relational, strengths-based, and gently reflective, supporting meaningful engagement and positive therapeutic outcomes. Dallas’ strengths particularly shine in her work with young people.

Beyond her clinical role, Dallas was part of a significant community achievement through her involvement with the Shepparton Eagles Rugby League Tag Club. The club celebrated an exceptional season, with the women’s team securing their first premiership and the men’s team achieving a back-to-back premiership, completing an undefeated season overall. These achievements reflect leadership, teamwork, and community connection—qualities also evident in Dallas’ clinical work.

💛 Amy

Throughout 2025, Amy brought exceptional clinical expertise, leadership, and professionalism to her role at GMP Therapy. Holding a Master’s in Mental Health Nursing, along with postgraduate qualifications in Developmental Psychiatry and Perinatal and Infant Mental Health, Amy provided high-quality, evidence-informed care across her work.

Amy particularly shines in empowering adults and often goes beyond the therapy room to advocate for the needs and supports of the people she works alongside.

This year also marked an important professional milestone with Amy’s involvement in the launch of the Gippsland Committee of the Australian College of Mental Health Nurses (ACMHN). Her ongoing role as Deputy Chair and State Committee Liaison reflects her strong leadership and commitment to strengthening mental health services and professional networks within the region.

🧡 Gemma

As many of my personal clients know, during 2025 I completed a lap of Australia with my family—travelling by caravan while continuing to work three days a week on the road. What an adventure and what an achievement.

Thank you sincerely to everyone for your patience and support while I navigated the challenges of running a remote service. In 2026, I am back in person and feeling motivated to continue working alongside humans with a wide range of needs, particularly in the complex trauma and eating disorder space. I have also undertaken additional training in chronic pain, further strengthening my EMDR skills.

From 2026, I will be offering extended hours at the following locations:
📍 Sevens Creek Psychology – 10A Sevens Ave, Euroa VIC 3666 (waitlist closed)
📍 Benalla – 67–69 Bridge St East, Benalla (limited availability)
📍 Telehealth (waitlist open)

To our clients, it is a privilege to walk alongside you in your mental health journey, and we remain deeply committed to providing a safe, respectful, and supportive space for healing, growth, and connection.

🎄Wishing you all moments of peace, excitement, presence, joy, contentment, love, empathy, and hope during the festive period. We look forward to working with you in 2026.

📩 If you would like to book an appointment for the new year or have any queries, please email therapygmp@gmail.com or leave a message on 0472 716 911.

Today’s is about spreading awareness.

Emerging research shows a strong link between ADHD, autism, and eating disorders.

Neurodivergent children and adults are more likely to:
• Present with more severe symptoms
• Experience a longer and more complex course of illness and treatment
• Require adapted, individualised care

Recognising this link supports earlier identification, more accurate diagnosis, and neurodiversity-affirming treatment — improving outcomes for people who have long been under-recognised and underserved.

Eating Disorders Victoria (EDV) offers free, community-based supports that complement treatment, including carer coaching, parent resources, peer mentoring, online support groups, and e-learning.

Gemma is an ANZAED-registered Eating Disorder Clinician who will be hiking 40 kilometres across Tasmania to raise funds for EDV, helping them support more people across Victoria.

Here’s how your support creates real impact:
• $75 funds a peer mentoring activity, such as a shared meal preparation
• $150 supports an EDV Ambassador to share their story in a hospital inpatient program
• $250 helps a telehealth nurse support someone in recovery
• $500 trains a volunteer for an entire year at the EDV Hub
• $1,200 covers a complete early help-seeking journey for someone in need

Christmas isn’t joyful for everyone — and that’s okay 🎄

This season can be especially hard for those who are:
🤍 grieving a loved one
🤍 struggling with their mental health
🤍 feeling lonely or isolated
🤍 under financial pressure
🤍 navigating difficult family dynamics
🤍 simply trying to hold it together

If that’s you, here are a few gentle reminders:

• You don’t have to be cheerful
• You’re allowed to rest
• It’s okay to say no or step away
• Small comforts matter
• Getting through the day is enough
• It’s okay to ask for help

Self-care doesn’t have to look festive.
Sometimes it’s warm drinks, soft clothes, quiet moments, or choosing peace over expectations.

At GMP Therapy, we’re holding space this Christmas for everyone finding the season heavy.
You are not weak or broken for struggling — you are human. Sending kindness to you, exactly where you are 🤍

We are also sending extra love and thoughts to those impacted by Bondi this year. This is heavy on our hearts.

— GMP Therapy team

The holidays can bring joy—but they can also bring pressure, exhaustion, and a whole lot of expectations. ❤️‍🩹
If you’re feeling stretched thin, you’re not alone.

These gentle reminders can help keep the season grounded in what truly matters: connection, presence, and moments of calm. ✨

Small shifts—like keeping routines steady, embracing imperfection, and choosing simple traditions—can make the biggest difference for you and your child.

Let this be the year you slow down, breathe, and enjoy the meaningful moments (even the messy ones). 💛
