Let’s examine how publicly available work by psychologists stands up to ethical scrutiny. In this reflective and structured session, we will thoughtfully explore the actions taken, and sometimes not taken, and consider them through the lens of our ethical responsibilities as mental health practitioners. We then reflect on our the different areas of our own practice, through examples and reflective discussion.

Your case formulation looks 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒆 on paper, sounding like the examples given in class or a version from the textbook. Now that you're a clinician, 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆 it based on your client, not written by AI. Join in this highly hands on session, 𝐃𝐎 case formulate based on a 'client' in session.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll have a sense on how formulations work in real cases, connect theory to lived experience, and build the confidence to turn what you know into meaningful treatment.

The training draws on my clinical experience across schools, universities, private practice, community setting, and public health, including early psychosis intervention within highly multidisciplinary teams of psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, and psychologists. You’ll learn practical approaches honed through work with complex clients experiencing trauma, co-morbidities, and psychosis.

Sleep and mental health are deeply connected. This talk explores how stress, anxiety, and depression affect sleep—and how poor sleep can worsen mood, focus, and emotional balance. You’ll learn practical, evidence-based strategies to improve sleep and discover why better rest is a powerful foundation for mental health and long-term well-being.

Last day of registration before diving into doing intake and case noting it. It will be a simulation of you getting a ‘client’, intake through to case noting. And at the end of the session, reflect on how your practise can benefit from your learning. If you haven’t yet already, sign up now and join us!

4 MORE DAYS before a very hands on approach to activating your knowledge of intake and case noting!

This session is highly practical, you'll get to work throughout the session. You've got to wear your clinician hat on because you'll need that to work through the workshop.

In the end, you would've gone through an intake and write a note about it, reflect on your experience, your work in session, and take away the practical skills you can bring back and apply in your practice. Cannot wait to see you in the session!

Today we remember the Holocaust, a sobering reminder of how cruel, destructive, and inhumane people can be, and also of strength and resilience of those who endured. We must not forget. Remembering this matters, especially in the context of what is happening in the world today. History carries lessons, and it is our responsibility to learn from them and do our part to ensure this never happens again, in whatever form and shape it has taken in our time, in the here and now.

This is heavy and can be distressing. If this brings up strong feelings for you, take time to care for yourself and reach out for support if you need x

Join me for a hands on Zoom session focused on intake and case noting, a core clinical skill. You will actively practise intake and write case notes, with real time feedback to help you refine your approach.

We will focus on making intake smoother and more intentional, and producing clear, clinically relevant, and ethical notes you can actually use. This session draws on years of clinical experience across Asia and Australia.

This is for you if you learn by doing, value reflection, and are open to thoughtful peer feedback. Come join the first session of the 2026 Clinical Practice Series.
