24.01.2022 Fortitude Wellbeing first opened its doors to clients at its East Melbourne location in November 2018. As a result of the kind referrals from our existing clients and our connections with other health and wellbeing professionals we have outgrown our little home. From Wednesday 1 April 2020, we will be relocating to 8A Burnley Street Richmond 3121. This brand new site is directly opposite Victoria Gardens at the intersection of Burnley and Victoria Streets. The larger space wi...ll allow us to accommodate new and existing clients with appointments across Monday to Friday. In late 2019, we began planning our move and found the perfect place. As you can imagine, this idea was before COVID-19 became the focal point of everyone’s lives! What was an incredibly exciting venture is now a little bit less exciting but like everyone, we have hope! As a provider of mental health services, we realise that what we can offer people in our community is vital. Understandably, most people will be experiencing a range of uncomfortable emotions, interspersed with glimmers of hope and a belief that we’re all in this together. To assist people to manage during these uncertain times, we will continue to provide professional psychological and counselling support - in whatever way our clients would like to receive it (e.g., face-to-face, phone or web conferencing). @fortitude_wellbeing @richmond_3121 #telehealth #bulkbilling #richmond #wellbeing #mentalhealth #psychology #counselling #resilience #lifetransition #change #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #letgo #perception #health #wellness #coping #growth #mindset #therapy

24.01.2022 The time to act is now! All people need to be able to find the help that suits them and to access this support in a timely manner. A solid and practical response by government is critical. However, each and everyone of us can pay attention to those around us, check in when someone appears to be struggling and reduce the stigma associated with mental healthy by encouraging our family, friends, colleagues and associates to reach out for support when things appear to be too much to handle. #wellbeing #mentalhealth #psychology #counselling #ruok #payattention #helpafriend #actsofkindness

23.01.2022 Melissa Bell is a psychologist at Fortitude Wellbeing. She believes she is privileged to work with a wide-range of people from all different walks of life. From her recent conversations with family, friends and clients, she wanted to share some tips for how staff can be effectively supported during the pandemic.

12.01.2022 Fortitude Wellbeing is an essential service that supports people’s mental health and wellbeing. Discussions, concerns and exposure to distressing content around the coronavirus outbreak, as well as practising self-isolation during lockdown periods can be stressful and impact our mental health and wellbeing. As such, our psychological services will remain open to new and existing clients. As always, we will be working hard to maintain exceptional health and hygiene standards w...ithin the practice. This includes additional cleaning measures, providing soap and sanitiser, and thorough cleaning of frequently used surfaces and handles. If you have any concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. #lifecoaching #mentalhealth #liveyourbestlife #meaning #purpose #stuck #perspective #change #growth #thrive #healthyhabit #visualisation #wellbeing #mentalhealth #psychology #counselling #resilience #lifetransition #change #cbt #positivepsychology #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #letgo #perception #health #wellness #coping #growth @fortitude_wellbeing

11.01.2022 The City of Yarra has so many great initiatives supporting local business. Their online map locates businesses within their municipality that are able to operate and provide essential services. We made the map!

11.01.2022 Sometimes we can become so set in our ways that we get stuck and moving forward can be difficult. We retreat into comfortable patterns and withdraw from situations where we feel challenged or uneasy. Identifying an alternative perspective or seeing the bigger picture clearly is a struggle as we fixate on keeping things that same. Being stuck, means to stop growing. If we aren’t growing, we can’t thrive. We often don’t feel completely depressed or anxious, and from the outside... there are no obvious or significant stressors we just want our life to be more meaningful and enjoyable. This is where life coaching can be invaluable. Life coaching can support you to live your best life. A life where positive emotions are felt and expressed, activities are enjoyed, relationships are nurtured, and accomplishment is experienced. Our psychologists are highly trained to deliver life coaching that will help you to make positive changes in your life. Your coach will work closely with you to determine your personal goals and needs with a tailored plan that takes you in towards your best life. #lifecoaching #mentalhealth #liveyourbestlife #meaning #purpose #stuck #perspective #change #growth #thrive #healthyhabit #visualisation #wellbeing #mentalhealth #psychology #counselling #resilience #lifetransition #change #cbt #positivepsychology #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #letgo #perception #health #wellness #coping #growth #mindset #therapy @fortitude_wellbeing @au_diddy

10.01.2022 Finding it difficult to find your balance? According to Dr Paul Gilbert we have 3 systems that influence our ability to self regulate. Participating in strategies that activate each system adequately can help us to feel more aware, motivated and calm.

09.01.2022 Hypnotherapy is a process that induces relaxation while distracting the conscious mind. The techniques used in the process generate an altered mental state whereby an individual’s awareness is heightened thus enabling access to the subconscious mind. While in this relaxed state, a person’s mind is more receptive to suggestions and new ideas and is able to experience thoughts and images as real. Hypnotherapy is used to address and/or challenge problematic beliefs, attitude, pe...rceptions, and behaviours. Today, hypnosis is recognised by the scientific community as an effective tool. Like all therapeutic techniques, hypnotherapy is used alongside other therapies and strategies, to effectively treat psychological concerns. #hypnotherapy #lifecoaching #mentalhealth #liveyourbestlife #meaning #purpose #stuck #perspective #change #growth #thrive #healthyhabit #visualisation #wellbeing #mentalhealth #psychology #counselling #resilience #lifetransition #change #cbt #positivepsychology #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #letgo #perception #health #wellness #coping #growth #mindset #therapy @fortitude_wellbeing @au_diddy

09.01.2022 To best support our clients, we will continue to offer both face-to-face and Telehealth services. For those people that require face-to-face care, we have implemented additional cleaning and hygiene practices. We are reducing the number of clients entering the premises at any given time, adhering to physical distancing between the client and the practitioner, supporting the use of face-masks, and soap and sanitiser are readily available. We are working in accordance with ad...vice from the DHHS website pertaining to Stage 4 which suggests the following, ‘You can leave home to receive health care or attend medical appointments. If you need to see a doctor or health care professional, you should do so. Do not put off getting medical care. Your doctor or health care professional can provide advice on how to stay safe.’ You can find out more here: https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/updated-restrictions-announceme See more

08.01.2022 Some clients have indicated that their preference is still for a face-to-face consultation as they deem this essential to their wellbeing. Be assured, we are taking the Government’s advice ‘to help stop the spread’ seriously. As such, we’d like to highlight the measures our practice and its staff are exercising. We have spent a considerable amount of time cleaning every surface, wall and floor space so that everything is sparkling clean. We are also implementing additional p...ractical measures to maintain exceptional standards: - One practitioner only will be working in the practice at any given time. - Time between appointments has been extended to 30 minutes. - Clients will be asked to thoroughly wash their hands with soap and dry them with hand towel before each session. - Clients will be required to bring their own water (if required). - The door to the practice will be locked at all times and opened by the practitioner. These measures aim to reduce the likelihood that multiple clients are in the premises at the same time. It will provide us ample time to wipe down surfaces and door handles and to practice excellent hand washing hygiene. @fortitude_wellbeing #wellbeing #mentalhealth #psychology #counselling #resilience #lifetransition #change #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #letgo #perception #health #wellness #coping #growth #mindset #therapy @richmond_3121

07.01.2022 From Monday 30 March 2020 we will be practising from our new home at 8A Burnley Street Richmond 3121. The move will allow us to open more rooms, across more days so we’ll have plenty of room for new clients. If you’re looking for counselling and therapeutic support by a registered psychologist then call to make an appointment now. If you’re unsure what you need, we’re here to help. Call us and speak to our psychologist to find out if our service is right for you. No strings attached! @fortitude_wellbeing #wellbeing #mentalhealth #psychology #counselling #resilience #lifetransition #change #cbt #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #letgo #perception #health #wellness #coping #growth #mindset #therapy #hypnotherapy #richmond3121

03.01.2022 Many of us believe our emotions control our behaviour. To challenge this, think about a time that you have felt a particular way, however you have chosen to act differently - for example, you may have been in a queue when someone has pushed in. This probably made you ‘feel’ angry and you may have felt the urge to shout at them, yet you ‘chose’ to speak calmly to the person and direct them to the end of the line. The point is, although we don’t have a huge amount of control ov...er the way we feel, we can directly control our actions. Understanding this is really helpful as is can assist us to focus our attention on what we can control, rather than what we cannot control. #emotions #emotionalregulation #healthyhabit #controlthecontrollable #visualisation #wellbeing #mentalhealth #psychology #counselling #resilience #lifetransition #change #cbt #positivepsychology #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #letgo #perception #health #wellness #coping #growth #mindset #therapy @fortitude_wellbeing @ Fortitude Wellbeing See more

01.01.2022 What a time to be aliveright! The situation that everyone is facing has the potential to impact our mental health. We know that social isolation can leave us feeling lonely and our mood can start to deteriorate as well. There are many things we can’t change, and that’s ok. Acknowledge the way it is, and then focus on the things you can do to stay connected to your family and social circles. Bring out the technology I say! Have a laugh and a giggle with your people. Here are ...just a few ideas to get you on your way Netflix Partyit’s FREE!! Host a movie night with your friends from the comfort of your own living rooms.
