To the parent who spends all day juggling their own emotions, their child/children’s emotions and all the other stuff life throws at us… work, school, therapy appointments, doctors offices, “well-meaning advice givers”, judgement or criticism from those you wish would offer a gentle word of encouragement or support… then gets up the next day and does it all again!
I see you…and even more than that.. I’ve BEEN you!
I know those times where you get to the end of the day and think.. “I’m the worst mum ever” or “I yelled too much today” or “my child will hate me forever” or “I have no idea what I’m doing and nothing seems to help” or “Does my child even know how much I love them?”
Know this.. there’s no such thing as a perfect parent AND you care so much because you are a GREAT parent trying their very best!
This doesn’t mean it’s easy.. it’s not!
It doesn’t mean things can’t change… they can!
It DOES mean you need more support than you’re getting. It also means some things do need to change.. and that can also feel exhausting!

If you’re looking for some support to help you understand your child and how to feel more connected them, to learn how to support your nervous system to feel like you can cope a bit better, or even to have someone listen without judgement or criticism but with empathy and understanding to what you’re finding challenging … reach out.

Send us a DM or go to our website and fill out our self referral form. Let us support you to be the parent you want to become 💜

✨ Expanding Horizons with ACT: A Transformative Learning Experience ✨
This week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) training course in Brisbane, facilitated by none other than Dr. Russ Harris, author of The Happiness Trap and a global leader in ACT.
To learn directly from someone whose work has profoundly shaped the way we approach mental flexibility, values-based living, and psychological well-being was both humbling and energising. Dr. Harris’ ability to blend evidence-based strategies with compassion and real-world application brought ACT to life in a way that was both practical and deeply human.
ACT isn’t just a therapeutic model — it’s a way of living. The tools and insights gained during this course will not only enrich my professional practice but also continue to influence how I show up personally: more present, more open, and more connected to what truly matters.
🧠 Key takeaways:
Psychological flexibility is the foundation of resilience.
We can hold our thoughts lightly while taking committed action.
Living by our values — even in the presence of discomfort — is where real growth happens.
Grateful to have shared this space with fellow clinicians and professionals committed to compassionate, meaningful work.
If you ever have the chance to learn from Dr. Harris — take it. It’s more than a course — it’s a shift in perspective.

Sitting with someone while they talk about what's going on in their life can help them work through tough times. A problem shared, is a problem halved 💛

🌿 “I’m fine” … when you’re not. 🌿

Sometimes, we say we're okay when we’re far from it. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. If you're struggling, it's time to put yourself first.

💬 Person-Centered, Strengths-Based Counselling can help you reconnect with your inner power, face challenges head-on, and heal in a way that’s all about YOU.

You’re not alone. Let’s talk about the real you, the one that’s ready to grow and thrive.

✨ DM to book your free 15 min telephone consultation to see if I’m the right fit for you. ✨

“I’m fine” can hide emotional exhaustion. Jalissa Compton explores gentle self-check-ins and how therapy offers real support👇 http://ow.ly/Jl37106cQLm
