25.01.2022 Sometimes being with is the best way you can give to someone having a struggle.. Words arent always necessary; giving a friend or loved one the space just to sit with their feelings is powerful and validating.

24.01.2022 its so important to prioritize quality time so that we can enhance and maintain the emotional connection that is vital to a relationship. #astoriaclinic

24.01.2022 One of the beautiful things about. Ring a Psychologist is that I get to see that journey and if people dont always remember how far theyve come I can remind them, because I always do . #perthpsychologist #psychologistlife #growth #development #beproud #selfesteem #inspiration #mentalhealth #wellbeing

23.01.2022 In this unprecedented time we need to be able to be self-compassionate and understand that were doing the best we can. The emotions are up and down and thats ...ok. No ones circumstances are better than anothers at the moment because were all affected in different (and similar) ways. Validate yourself and others. . See more

22.01.2022 I am so in awe of the difficult work that my clients do to reach their goals and improve their lives and relationships. Its so inspiring and I learn so much too.

22.01.2022 Sometimes people just need someone to be there. No advice, no talking, but just to help them hold that space. Its powerful.

20.01.2022 Staying in compassion is a really helpful mindset to practice as its the way to stay connected and resolve difficulties.

20.01.2022 Sometimes no matter how hard we try, we cant make sense of things that happen to us or around us. Acceptance allows us to let go of trying to do this and to move forward. #astoriaclinic

20.01.2022 Not Psychology related (except for the bond between human and animals), but just a nice video to brighten your day #astoriaclinic

19.01.2022 Children dont just automatically know their feelings; we need to teach them. A tantrum for example could be an expression of feelings of sadness, disappointment or fear. Naming these feelings out loud helps them understand and cope in more helpful ways. https://www.gottman.com//strengthen-childs-emotional-inte/... Via: The Gottman Institute

19.01.2022 When used as a defense mechanism, anger can also block out the opportunity to be open to positivity and joy. And you deserve more than that. #workinghard #challengeyourself #perthpsychologist #grow

19.01.2022 The quickest way to manage this virus is for people to come together and think about each other rather than themselves. Bigger picture is so important right now.

19.01.2022 I have reassured people of this so many times in the last few weeks. People who are damaging, hostile or judgmental in our lives are so often operating from their own issues that they refuse to deal with and instead they project them forwards. . . #astoriaclinic #nofraklinik

18.01.2022 Be strong in your own sense of self and listen to the positive messages you get from the people who have demonstrated that they see your qualities

18.01.2022 Supervising intern and registered Psychologists is one of my passions. I am grateful to all of my supervisees who allow me to walk alongside their career journey #astoriaclinic #perthpsychologist #lovemywork

17.01.2022 Exciting news for our clinic - we have moved our premises to a bigger, lovely space just up the road. We are now located at 166 Riseley Street, Booragoon. We look forward to seeing you there

17.01.2022 Rather than feeling like were needing to put our lives and plans on hold, its more helpful to try to find new things that we can enjoy right now. Dont stop planning either - having things to look forward to allows us to keep looking forward (even if they dont quite have a time frame).

16.01.2022 Do you need this today?

16.01.2022 Sometimes its so difficult to take a step back when our children are behaving in particular ways. We have to remember that children are not little adults and their brain development doesnt allow them to reason and rationalise like adults. Thinking about sharing our calm allows us to take a step back and manage our feelings so that we can help them manage theirs.

14.01.2022 I have listened to people who are introverts say they are surprised that they too are struggling with the physical distancing that is needing to happen at the moment. Interesting article about this here

14.01.2022 You just never know how your story inspires someone else. Our heroes have heroes too. #astoriaclinic . #perthpsychologist #mindset #stories #lifestory #wellbeing #inspire #hero #psychology #therapy #quotes #learn

12.01.2022 Dont ever let anyone tell you that you cant achieve your dream #astoriaclinic

12.01.2022 We are losing men to suicide at an alarming rate. As well as the unhelpful messages men receive about expressing themselves, they often feel overwhelmed even thinking about talking. At Astoria Clinic, we have a special interest in mens mental health and understand that for some men, talking is new territory. Its really not as daunting as it seems and its a safe space where there is no judgement or expectations.

11.01.2022 I feel that being a Psychologist is a privilege. For people to be open and vulnerable, to let me walk alongside them in their difficulties and to let me celebrate their joys. I will never take what I do for granted, nor will I ever stop doing my best to bring people the best therapy experience that they can have. Because you deserve nothing less. #astoriaclinic

10.01.2022 Please reach out if you’re struggling right now. With so much going on it’s easy to push your mental health needs aside. Common symptoms reported right now are:... Low mood Difficulty sleeping Vivid dreams Lack of motivation Feelings of disconnection (even with video calling) Fatigue We have face-to-face, video and phone appointments available and are keeping times open to ensure quick contact. Joanna Bell and Katie Hammond.

09.01.2022 There are lots of reasons people see a Psychologist. Therapy is like going to the gym for our minds! #astoriaclinic . . #positivity #psychology #perthpsychologist #therapy #mindset #confidence #positivevibes #loveyourmind

08.01.2022 You know if this is for you. Challenge those negative thoughts, even though at times its so difficult #astoriaclinic

08.01.2022 Tone is the most important part of communication - more important than words. As Maya Angelou said Ive learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

07.01.2022 We often look for the big ticket items in life; where really, life is made up of lots of little things. A catch up with a friend, a funny movie, the sunshine, a good meme, seeing the pelicans on Canning Bridge, your team winning or just a really good coffee. Make sure to notice these things so that you are in that moment of your life

06.01.2022 This is really important to reflect on..

05.01.2022 So...this is a bit exciting #astoriaclinic . . #perthpsychologist #psychology #grateful #lovemywork

03.01.2022 People are sometimes really nervous about their first appointment and they often give me positive comments about my rooms. This is my therapy room and the other one is child friendly for our littler clients . . #perthpsychologist #therapy #positivevibes #psychology #welcome #knowyourworth #psychologistperth #astoriaclinic #loveyourmind

03.01.2022 Insecurity can get in the way of a great relationship. Being honest to yourself and your partner about your fears allows you to receive support and reassurance to work through those insecurities

02.01.2022 Astoria Clinic (Ardross) & Nofra Klinik (North Perth) As an essential service we remain open and have appointments available. We are also offering video and phone appointment options for those who are concerned about attending in person. We are here to support you through this difficult and changing time.

02.01.2022 Hello to everyone! Due to the new mandate around quarantine for those who are returning from overseas (me), I will be offering video appointments for all clients booked until the 3rd April. I will be in touch with everyone as soon as I return to Perth.

01.01.2022 Astoria Clinic and Nofra Klinik will be closed from December 22nd until January 7th. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Christmas and New Year.

01.01.2022 Grief is such a difficult process to go through. If you know someone who has lost a loved one, please be so patient and keep allowing them to talk about it. You dont need to do anything other than sit with that person - they arent expecting or needing you to do anything other than that. Just give their feelings space

01.01.2022 Its hard work, determination and the trust of a solid support team, but you can do it and youre worth it

01.01.2022 I have talked about this a few times this week so I thought Id post this as a visual reminder. It can be really difficult to let go of doing this, especially if its been learnt in childhood.
