When life feels heavy, even logging onto a call can feel like too much

That’s why therapy doesn’t have to mean travelling across town.
Sometimes the safest, easiest step is a conversation from your own space, in your comfiest chair, with a cup of tea nearby.

Progress doesn’t always require big moves; sometimes it starts right where you are.

Got an FCA coming up and feeling unsure what to expect?

You’re not alone, many NDIS participants describe it as one of the most nerve-wracking parts of their journey. But here’s the thing: an FCA isn’t a test. It’s your opportunity to help others truly see your day-to-day reality, and to make sure your supports reflect that.

Taking time to prepare can make the process smoother, clearer, and a whole lot less stressful.

If you’d like to walk in feeling confident and ready, we’ve put together a simple guide to help you prepare, and to remind you that you’ve got this.

Wondering if you or your child might be neurodivergent?

That question alone takes courage.

Getting an assessment isn’t about labels, it’s about understanding how your brain works so you can finally play to your strengths.

Clarity leads to relief, and relief opens doors.

Feeling anxious doesn’t mean something’s “wrong” with you

Some days, your brain just won’t stop buzzing. Thoughts loop, your heart races, and everything feels a bit too much.

Try this: pause and take three deep breaths, in through your nose, out through your mouth, then ask yourself, “What can I control in the next 10 minutes?”

Small steps bring your body back online faster than you think.

If anxiety has been taking up too much space lately, reaching out for support can help you get your footing again.

If you've noticed behaviours suggesting your child may be autistic, navigating the path to assessment can feel daunting. At Boutique Psychology, we see autism assessments not just as diagnoses, but as opportunities for deeper understanding and support.

Why Consider an Autism Assessment?

- Insight into Your Child's Needs
Gain clarity on your child's unique strengths and challenges, fostering better communication and stronger relationships.
- Tailored Support and Interventions
Early diagnosis opens doors to specialised education, therapy, and interventions that enhance development and social interactions.
- Access to Resources and Community Support
Connect with programs, funding, and a supportive community for shared experiences and insights.

Our Approach with ADOS-2 and MIGDAS-2
We use the ADOS-2, the gold standard for autism diagnosis, alongside the MIGDAS-2 interview, ensuring a respectful and personalised assessment for your child.

Explore how understanding autism can pave the way for a more supportive and accommodating world for your child. 💙

Visiting a psychologist can feel daunting.
For many, the stigma around “seeing someone” still lingers, like it means you’re broken, weak, or can’t cope.

But here’s the truth: seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Working with a psychologist can help you:
✨ Understand yourself more deeply
✨ Learn practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, and low mood
✨ Heal from trauma and grief
✨ Improve relationships and communication
✨ Build resilience and confidence
✨ Create real, lasting change in your life

You don’t need to wait until things are at breaking point to benefit from support. Sometimes, just having a safe space to be heard makes all the difference.

At Boutique Psychology, we provide a judgment-free space where you can feel seen, respected, and supported, at your own pace.

Because looking after your mental health isn’t something to be ashamed of, it’s something to be proud of.
