Team Culture Day, LCP style. 🙌

On Friday, our team came together for our Team Culture Day — a valuable opportunity to connect, reflect, learn, and share plenty of laughter along the way.

We were privileged to hear from Dr. Monique Nesa, who shared valuable insights on burnout and sustainable wellbeing. Her expertise sparked important conversations, meaningful reflection, and practical takeaways that will continue to shape how we care for both our clients and ourselves.

Then it was time to put our aprons on as we enjoyed a cooking class at the fabulous - bringing creativity, collaboration, and a little friendly competition to the day 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳.

Proud to be part of a team that values excellence, wellbeing, and genuine connection.

Meet Sarah, a valued member of our LCP Client Relationship Team.

Sarah’s goal is to help make starting therapy feel less daunting and to support clients in taking that first step with confidence.

Sarah recently completed a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and is excited to continue her studies as she works toward becoming a clinical psychologist. Through her volunteer experiences, she has seen firsthand the powerful impact that feeling safe, understood, and supported can have on growth and wellbeing, and she shares a strong commitment to compassionate, client-centred care.

Outside of work, Sarah enjoys getting lost in a good book, spending time with friends and family, and planning her next travel adventure. When she’s not doing that, you’ll usually find her hanging out with her two ridgebacks, Kyza and Lola 🐾

Welcome, Sarah!

FAQs about the OCD group at Lawson Clinical Psychology

Are you interested in joining a group therapy session? Perhaps you have heard about our upcoming OCD group starting on the 3rd of March?

Feeling unsure about joining a group? That’s understandable. We are here to answer any questions you might have about our groups.

Q: What should I expect when attending my first group session?

A: Most or all of the first group session will usually be an ‘introductory session’. After arriving, you will meet with your therapists and fellow group members. During this time, your therapist will discuss expectations for the group and provide any necessary information related to confidentiality or other details related to participation. Once everyone has introduced themselves, your therapists will then invite a shared discussion about the goals of the group (e.g. to learn ways to manage anxiety, worry, OCD, emotions), and will share an overview of the information and skills that will be covered throughout the coming weeks of the program.

Contact groups@lawsonpsychology.com.au to find out more about our 10 week ‘Break free from OCD’ group starting 3rd March 2026!

If you saw our recent post on OCD symptoms, you may be wondering how you can break free from unwanted intrusive thoughts and repetitive rituals.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD.

ERP involves gradually facing feared thoughts or situations, while learning to resist engaging in repetitive rituals or compulsions.

With the guidance of a therapist, repeated exposure exercises help clients learn that anxiety reduces naturally over time - helping clients break free from OCD.

If you are seeking support, our upcoming ‘Break Free from OCD’ group therapy program offers structured, science-backed strategies in a supportive group setting.

For more information, contact our client relationship team or email groups@lawsonpsychology.com.au

Sleep is not only about physical rest - it is about regulation.

When our sleep is disrupted, the brain does not fully down-regulate and can remain in a state of heightened arousal. 🚨

When the nervous system stays on high alert, sleep becomes physiologically more difficult, with flow-on effects for emotion regulation, stress tolerance, and cognitive clarity 🧠. This is why simply trying harder to sleep often backfires.

Effective support focuses on calming the nervous system and addressing the thoughts and behaviours that keep the brain on high alert. ‼️

With small, intentional changes, guided by evidence-based strategies, we can create meaningful improvements in sleep and overall wellbeing 🛌🧘‍♀️.

If sleep has been an ongoing challenge, support is available. 🤝 Our team of clinical psychologists work with you to understand the underlying drivers of your sleep difficulties and provide a tailored approach using evidence-informed care.
