If today feels heavy, you’re not failing.
If you’re tired, you’re not weak.
If you need support, you deserve it.
You’re doing the best you can — and that is enough.

Medicare now asks that clients have a regular GP who oversees their mental health care. This may be recorded through MyMedicare or simply noted by your GP.

Most clients receive a $145.25 Medicare rebate per psychology appointment.
To claim this, we need a referral letter from your GP — not just the plan itself.
📄 Your GP’s Referral Must Include:
• Your name & DOB
• Reason for referral
• GP name, provider number & clinic
• Plan type (e.g., Mental Health Treatment Plan)
• Signed & dated

🔄 Do I need a new MHCP every year?
No. Your GP can provide a new referral letter unless your mental health concerns have significantly changed.

If you’re unsure what you need, we’re happy to guide you 🌿

The lead-up to Christmas can bring joy — but also pressure, overstimulation, grief, anxiety or fatigue. If this season feels heavier than you expected, you’re not alone.
Gentle ways to support yourself this week:
• Create small pockets of rest
• Set boundaries around events
• Say “no” without guilt
• Choose what feels meaningful, not what feels expected
• Reach out if the season feels overwhelming
You deserve a December that feels manageable and grounded ✨

Trauma can leave the brain feeling “stuck,” even long after the event has passed. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a world-recognised, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and structured way.
EMDR is backed by extensive research and is acknowledged by major health bodies — including the World Health Organization — as an effective treatment for trauma and PTSD.
If you’ve ever wondered how EMDR works, here’s a short, helpful clip explaining the process:

If you’re navigating trauma and want to explore effective, research-supported therapy options, we’re here to help.

Not every day feels easy, but even in tough moments, there are glimmers 🌿✨
A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger, it’s a tiny moment that sparks peace, joy, or gratitude.
☀️ The warmth of morning sun.
🐾 A cuddle from your pet.
🎶 A favourite song.
💬 A kind word from someone you love.
When you start noticing these moments, your brain learns to find more of them and slowly, the light begins to outshine the heavy.
Start looking for your glimmers today 💛

As we head into December and the end of year season approaches, many of us feel pressure, exhaustion or anticipatory stress. Remember: taking care of your mental health now is not optional, it’s essential.

Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is simply show up.
Showing up doesn’t always mean having all the answers, feeling positive, or knowing what’s next.
Sometimes it just means taking a breath, getting out of bed, making that appointment, or allowing yourself to be seen — even when it’s hard.
Healing starts with small, brave moments like these.
At Moving Forward, we honour every step of your journey, big or small. If you’re ready to take that next step, we’re here to walk beside you.

Your brain is powerful — it can be your own natural pharmacy 💊✨
Here’s how to boost your happy chemicals naturally:
🧘 Endorphins – Move your body and laugh often. Exercise and joy help ease pain and lift your mood.
🌿 GABA – Calm your mind with yoga, meditation, or slow breathing.
🎯 Dopamine – Set a goal (big or small) and celebrate achieving it — even organising a drawer counts!
💞 Oxytocin – Connect with people or pets you love. A hug, a chat, or a happy memory releases this bonding chemical.
☀️ Serotonin – Spend time outdoors and engage your senses. Feel the sand, breathe fresh air, enjoy good food.
Small moments can create big chemical shifts, let your brain work for you, not against you 💫

Self-compassion means learning to treat yourself with the same care and understanding you’d offer a friend 🌿

We all have moments where our inner critic gets loud, but choosing kindness, patience and self-acceptance helps quiet the noise and build real emotional strength.

✨ Pause. Breathe. Be gentle with yourself.
You’re doing your best — and that’s enough.
