January often comes with pressure to feel motivated, organised and “back on track.”
For many people, February is when the reality of routines, responsibilities and expectations really settles in.
If things still feel messy or tiring, that doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means you’re human. Routines take time to build, and mental energy doesn’t reset on a calendar date. Therapy can offer space to gently reset, reflect, and find rhythms that actually work for you.

Led by J&R Psychology clinical neuropsychologist, Dr Sherilyn Tan, these brief assessments help you understand your cognitive function and any changes in your memory, attention, and thinking skills.
Sherilyn can also support you in building skills to support your memory, focus and planning and problem solving.
Understand your brain. Strengthen your thinking. Build skills for a healthier mind.

Therapy is often misunderstood as something you only seek when things are at breaking point. In reality, therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and better understand yourself — even when life feels “manageable” on the surface.
In our latest blog, we explore the role therapy plays in supporting mental health, what therapy actually involves, and why many people choose to seek support during quieter moments of reflection, like February.

"Will I be ‘fixed’ after therapy?"
It’s a common question, and a fair one to ask.
We don't consider that we're helping to “fix”, because you’re not broken.
Life can be complicated, and therapy helps you make sense of your experiences - to navigate ups & downs with greater understanding, resilience, and confidence.
Psychologists can help you learn how to respond differently, set boundaries, how to thrive even when you're uncomfirtable, or show yourself more compassion when things feel tough.
Going back to school often brings mixed emotions: excitement, anxiety, and plenty of logistics.
Our psychologists recommend you:
• Re-establish sleep and morning routines a couple of days before terms starts
• Validate your child’s feelings - nerves are normal
• Keep your own expectations flexible
And if big feelings continue, J&R have a team of psychologists who can help children (and parents) navigate the transition with confidence.
For many people, this time of year brings pressure to do it all - to be cheerful, social, and switched on. Maybe you’ve noticed the holidays turning into a checklist of tasks and traditions instead of a time to slow down and connect.
If you’re feeling stretched or emotional, it doesn’t mean you’re doing the holidays wrong. It means you’re human.
Give yourself permission to pause, set boundaries, and choose rest, delegation, and not being perfect if you're finding it too much.

We’ve focused on clearer navigation, simple referral pathways for GPs, and helpful information for individuals seeking psychological care.

'Human rights' are fundamental freedoms and protections inherent to all people.
They’re the essentials we rely on every day: the right to health, dignity, safety, freedom, and support.
At J&R, we recognise that mental health is inseparable from overall health - and that mental health care is a fundamental human right, not a luxury.
Human Rights Day is a reminder that these rights belong to all of us, and that caring for your mental health is one small way to honour them.

You don’t need to wait for a crisis to see a psychologist.
Work pressure. Parenting. Relationship strain. Feeling stuck or unmotivated. Burnout from doing too much for too long.
Psychologists don’t just support people through mental health conditions - they also help with the everyday stressors that can pile up over time.
Therapy offers practical tools for managing stress, improving coping skills, and setting boundaries - helping you feel more in control and less overwhelmed.
Because support isn’t only for when things fall apart - it’s also what helps keep you well.
