Therapy moves at the pace of insight, not urgency.

Early sessions focus on understanding what’s happening and why.

Over time, we build skills, track progress, and maintain positive change.

Each stage has structure, reflection, and measurable goals, so you always know where you stand.

At Aperture Psychology, we guide this process with care and evidence.

Did you know your body responds to workplace stress in the same way it responds to real danger?

This is called the defensive cascade - Focus, Freeze, Flight, Fight, and Flop - a series of automatic reactions that help us stay safe.

It’s why you might blank out in a meeting, feel the need to step away from conflict, or feel completely exhausted after a demanding week.

The stress response is designed to protect you, but it needs time to recover.

Rest isn’t avoidance; it’s your body recognising that it’s safe again.

Is your body still on alert even when the stress has passed?

On Remembrance Day, we honour those who served, those who sacrificed, and those who continue to live with the legacy of war.

Remembrance reminds us of courage, resilience, and the value of peace.
It asks us to pause, reflect, and carry forward the lessons that service has taught us.

Lest we forget.

Success is a powerful shield - but it doesn't make you immune to being human.

Success does not erase the biological needs of the mind and body.

High-performing individuals often internalise the idea that resilience means "coping" without visible struggle.

But sleep disturbance can tell a deeper story: one of silent overload, cumulative stress, and unacknowledged needs.

Even when everything looks fine externally, sleep disruption quietly increases the risk of anxiety, depression, and impaired leadership decision-making.

It can start small - with subtle irritability, reduced mental flexibility - but grows over time.

Sustainable success isn’t about endless endurance; it’s about intelligently managing internal resources, starting with sleep.

Real resilience isn’t just about pushing through - it’s about preserving what matters most.

What would change if you treated sleep as a core part of your performance strategy, not a negotiable luxury?

Ever had one of those transformative moments that completely shift your perspective?

That's exactly what we're all about at Aperture Psychology - and it's the idea behind 'The Switch', our bi-monthly email newsletter.

It’s named after those powerful moments in therapy, assessment, or education when something just clicks, a perspective shifts and a new path is illuminated.

Inside the newsletter, you'll discover:
🧠 Psychology insights grounded in evidence, not trends
🛠️ Practical therapy tools and assessment knowledge that clinicians can use
👥 Fresh insights and behind-the-scenes updates from our team
📝 Deep dives into questions we’re frequently asked in session.

Whether you're an individual invested in understanding the psychology behind positive change or a fellow clinician looking to keep in touch with our practice and content outside of social media, we’d love to welcome you to our community!

Some of the most valuable supervision conversations we have aren’t about technique.

They’re about:
🔹 The discomfort of doubt when dealing with complex presentations
🔹 Ethical grey areas
🔹 The weight of doing meaningful work in isolation
🔹 Wanting to grow, but not sure where to stretch next
🔹 The risk of burnout

These conversations don’t happen by accident. They need a space that feels safe, serious, and human.

That’s what we aim to offer in the Aperture Psychology Group Clinical Supervision Program.

Starting therapy often takes courage – and uncertainty is one of the biggest barriers.

At Aperture Psychology we make sure your first session feels calm, structured, and respectful of where you’re at. It’s not just about finding solutions – it’s also about understanding your story and laying the foundations for meaningful change.

In that first session (or two), your psychologist will:

👉 Take time to understand your experiences and how they’re affecting your life
👉 Begin identifying the underlying patterns contributing to your challenges
👉 Map out a potential treatment pathway tailored to your needs

Many clients leave their first appointment feeling lighter. Not necessarily because the problem is solved - but because there’s finally clarity, validation, and a way forward.

Drawing on evidence-based approaches, clinical formulation, and compassionate listening, we ensure that even from session one, your care is considered, informed, and deeply human.

Burnout or depression - how can you tell the difference?

They can look strikingly similar, but the underlying patterns often tell a different story.

Over the past few years, Aperture Psychology director and clinical psychologist Peter Walker has been involved in a series of collaborative research studies on burnout, which included some clients of the practice.

Two papers were published in late 2023 attempting to refine the psychological construct of burnout.

The first study (Journal of Affective Disorders) aimed to differentiate burnout from clinical depression and the second (Acta Neuropsychologica) looked at whether burnout is best modelled as a dimensional (lying on a spectrum) or a categorical (a condition you either meet criteria for or you don't) construct.

In this short video, Peter breaks down what sets burnout apart from depression, and sheds light on why people can mislabelled before the full picture is understood.

If you, or someone you know, is showing signs of burnout or depression and would like some support, please contact our friendly team on 02 9314 5376.

For those interested in reading the papers, links can be found on our website https://aperturepsychology.com.au/blog/burnout-vs-depression-key-differences-and-treatment-options
