February News

Hi {{contact.first_name}}

By now, the new year rush has (hopefully) started to settle and we're finding our way back into familiar routines. For some, this return to structure brings a sense of relief—whether that's kids back in the swing of school, or simply knowing what your week looks like again. For others, the transition can stir up old worries or bring new challenges into sharper focus.

Whatever's on your mind—whether you're navigating work pressures, relationship changes, parenting concerns, or patterns you've been meaning to address—now is a great time to book an appointment. The start of the year tends to fill our calendars quickly, and getting in early means we can work together before things get too hectic.

If you've been putting it off or wondering whether it's the right time—consider this your gentle nudge. We're here when you're ready.

Clinician Spotlight - Matt Dellosa

"If I wouldn't say it to a friend or a client, I probably shouldn't be saying it to myself." In this month's Clinician Spotlight, accredited Mental Health Social Worker Matt Dellosa shares the values and habits that keep him grounded—and why self-compassion matters more than we think.

✨App of the Month - Tiimo✨

One of our clients recently recommended Tiimo to us, and after having a look, we thought it was worth sharing. It's a visual planning app designed by people with ADHD and executive functioning challenges, so it genuinely understands how some brains work differently.

What we like about Tiimo is that it turns your day into a visual timeline with colours, icons, and reminders that help you know what's coming next without feeling overwhelmed. It also has focus timers and an AI feature that breaks bigger tasks into smaller, manageable steps. It recently won Apple's iPhone App of the Year and you can try it for free at tiimoapp.com.

Know a great psychologist?

We're on the lookout for a psychologist to join our team. If you know someone who's passionate about working with children and adults, enjoys conducting assessments, and is looking for a supportive, flexible contractor role—we'd love to hear from them.

We're a close-knit, multi-disciplinary team with over 25 years of community connections across Melbourne's inner west. We value collaboration, genuine relationships, and creating a space where both clinicians and clients feel at ease. If that sounds like a good fit for someone you know (or perhaps yourself!), you can find out more about what makes us different at our website or feel free to email Tim or Kristen directly.
