When everything feels like too much… where do you even begin?

That’s exactly why we created this gentle, self-paced Mini Training: Managing Stress and Overcoming Overwhelm, a practical support tool designed for those who care deeply and give a lot (maybe too much).

🔆 Includes a 1.5 hour training video with Dr Suse Chequer
🔆 Plus a printable worksheet to help you create your own stress management plan

You can pause, reflect, and take it at your own pace. There is no pressure, no live sessions, just real tools that meet you where you're at.

Designed and guided by clinical psychologist Dr Suse Chequer, this course includes:
🔆 7 self-paced modules you can access anytime
🔆 Printable workbooks with reflection tools and exercises
🔆 Practical support for real-life challenges (like boundary setting, emotional fatigue, and values misalignment)
🔆 A compassionate approach that meets you exactly where you’re at

💛 Because you deserve the same quality of care you give to others.

If you're ready to feel more like you again and approach your work in a more balanced, sustainable way, Re-Find Your Shine might be the support you've been looking for.

Ever feel like one week you’re flying through your to-do list… and the next, you just want to stay under a blanket?

It’s not just mood swings or motivation... it’s your hormones.
Your cycle has seasons, just like nature. And when you start to recognise those internal shifts and respond to them with clarity and compassion? Everything changes.

In 'Hormonal Seasons: Shine through your cycle', we’ve turned the hormonal phases of your cycle into four relatable seasons, each with its own energy, emotions, and needs.

🔆 Learn to work with your cycle, not against it
🔆 Understand what each season asks of you
🔆 Support yourself with more intention, not guilt

This is a beautiful resource to help you get to know your cycle better, or to share with clients, if you're a practitioner.

We believe that effective supervision is about more than meeting requirements. It’s about building trust, creating space for reflection, and supporting you to do this important work in a sustainable way.

Dr Suse Chequer, our founder and AHPRA Board-approved clinical psychologist, brings deep experience in complex and trauma-exposed systems. She understands the emotional toll of frontline work and offers supervision that is both practical and compassionate.

Supervision is available for:
🔆 Early career psychologists working towards endorsement
🔆 Ongoing professional development
🔆 Supervisors seeking supervision
🔆 One-off sessions to explore specific challenges

Sessions are available Monday to Thursday, in person at Shine Through Psychology in North Hobart, or online via Telehealth.

If you're curious but unsure, you're welcome to book a ‘Sussing Out Supervision with Suse’ session. This is a relaxed, 30-minute chat to explore whether the support we offer is the right fit for you.

Thanks Noel for welcoming us to meet some of the team at the Ten Lives Cat Centre this evening! 🐈 What a privilege to get to support this wonderful community! 💛

Sam of Thrive Psychology Hobart and I will now get to provide quality local EAP therapeutic care for the team. ☺️ This means their staff and volunteers will get to be supported by local clinical psychologists who care about them and the amazing work they do. 🫶

Often staff ‘Employee Assistance Program’ counselling services are provided by big counselling firms, often interstate, by a variety of clinicians with various levels of training and experience. By choosing local, highly qualified clinicians, Ten Lives is making sure their people will receive quality care by a practitioner of their choice. Confidential, consistent care. 🫶

And they aren’t alone! We also provide EAP therapeutic support for some other amazing groups in nipaluna (Hobart).

If your organisation is looking to get more value from their EAP services, by practitioners who really get it, do get in contact as we would love to support you and your people to keep making a difference in our community! 💛
