Celebrating Staff Wellbeing at Nundah Private 💚
Last week, we celebrated staff wellbeing at Nundah Private as part of Mental Health Month.
Our wonderful staff were treated to relaxing massages, some peaceful time out to recharge, and plenty of cuddles and hugs from our four-legged friend, Sunshine the dog! 🐶
It was a lovely opportunity to pause, unwind and remind ourselves of the importance of looking after our own mental health and wellbeing while caring for others.
A big thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special! 💚

What if you didn’t have to fight every difficult thought or feeling?

Some days, anxiety, stress or difficult emotions can feel like they’re taking up all the space.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help you learn a different way forward - making room for difficult feelings while focusing on what matters most to you.

It’s not about pretending everything is okay. It’s about finding ways to move forward, even when things feel hard. At Nundah Private, we’re here to help you take that next step. You don’t have to do it alone.

Our new intake of ACT begins soon! Call us today to speak to our Day Program Team to see how we can help you on 07 3524 5555.

At Nundah Private, ACT can be accessed through our programs, with private health insurance or self-funded options available at a reasonable rate.

October is Mental Health Month 💚

Sometimes we’re okay. Sometimes we’re not. And that’s okay too.

This Mental Health Month, let’s check in on the people we care about, make time for ourselves, and remember that it’s okay to ask for help.

A simple “How are you really going?” can mean more than you know.

Eating disorder or disordered eating - what’s the difference?

The two terms are often used interchangeably, but they don’t mean exactly the same thing.

Disordered eating describes a range of unhealthy or concerning thoughts and behaviours around food, eating, weight or body image.

This might include things like:
• Restricting certain foods or skipping meals
• Frequently dieting or feeling guilty after eating
• Binge eating
• Compensating for eating through excessive exercise or restriction
• Feeling anxious or preoccupied around food or body image

An eating disorder is a diagnosable mental health condition where eating-related thoughts and behaviours become more persistent and significantly affect a person’s physical health, psychological wellbeing or everyday life.

Eating disorders can include conditions such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder, as well as other specified eating disorders.

But there’s an important message here:

You don’t need to have a diagnosed eating disorder for your relationship with food to deserve attention.

Disordered eating can have a significant impact on someone's wellbeing, and for some people it can develop into an eating disorder if left unaddressed.

If food, eating or body image is taking up a lot of space in your thoughts or making everyday life difficult, it’s worth talking to someone.

Early support can make a difference. 💙

💚 Sometimes, understanding what’s happening inside us can be the beginning of change.

Meet Dr Iti Agrawal, Consultant Psychiatrist at Nundah Private.

There are times when we know we’re struggling, but we don’t quite understand why. Maybe you feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious or low. Perhaps you’re finding relationships difficult, questioning who you are, or noticing the same patterns playing out again and again.

Dr Agrawal has a particular interest in psychodynamic psychotherapy - an approach that looks beyond the immediate symptoms to explore the thoughts, emotions, experiences and relationship patterns that may be contributing to how you feel today.

Her approach is thoughtful, compassionate and curious. Together with her patients, she creates space to explore what is happening beneath the surface and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

This can be particularly helpful for people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, difficulties with self-esteem or identity, relationship challenges, personality vulnerabilities, or a sense of feeling stuck or lacking direction.

Dr Agrawal also has experience supporting people with a broad range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders and anxiety disorders.

She sees adults aged 18–65 and offers telehealth appointments upon request. Dr Agrawal also speaks Hindi.

If you’ve been thinking about reaching out for some time, perhaps this is your reminder that you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. 💚

Our friendly Nundah Private team can help you understand the referral process and whether Dr Agrawal may be the right fit for you 07 3524 5555.

💚 Meet Dr Katie McCullough

Finding the right psychiatrist can feel like a really big step - especially when you’re already feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure about what comes next.

At Nundah Private, we’re lucky to have Dr Katie McCullough, a Consultant Psychiatrist who brings warmth, compassion and genuine care to every person she works with.

Katie is particularly passionate about working with young adults aged 18–25, supporting them through a stage of life that can come with its own unique challenges. She also has a special interest in mood disorders including anxiety and depression, addiction, eating disorders and ADHD.

Katie believes strongly in creating a safe space where people feel comfortable being themselves, talking openly and being part of decisions about their treatment. Her approach is holistic and recovery-focused - looking at the whole person, not simply a diagnosis.

And it’s not hard to see why Katie is so loved by her patients and referrers. 💚

She is warm, approachable and genuinely invested in the people she cares for. For many people, simply feeling heard and understood can be an important first step.

Katie has also helped develop our Food, Mood & Body Image program at Nundah Private, supporting people experiencing disordered eating and difficulties around food, mood and body image.

If you or someone you care about has been thinking about seeing a psychiatrist, taking that first step can be hard - but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Our Nundah Private team can help you understand the referral process and whether Katie may be the right fit for you.

📞 07 3524 5555 to contact our team to find out more about Dr Katie McCullough or our mental health services or head over to our website at nundahprivate.com.au for more information!

If You’ve Relapsed, You Haven’t Failed

Recovery isn’t always a straight line.

If you’ve experienced a relapse, you may be feeling disappointed, embarrassed, ashamed or worried about what others might think. You might even feel like you’ve undone all the progress you worked so hard to make.

You haven’t.

Relapse can be part of living with a mental health or substance use condition. It doesn’t erase the progress you’ve made, the skills you’ve learned or the time you spent working towards recovery.

What matters now is what support you need.

Coming back to your healthcare team after a relapse can feel difficult, but you don’t need to have everything worked out before you reach out. You don’t need to feel ashamed, and you don’t need to wait until things get worse.

Your care team is there to help you understand what has happened, identify what might have contributed to the relapse and work with you on the next steps.

Reaching out again isn’t starting over. It’s continuing your recovery.

If you’ve had a setback, be kind to yourself. Talk to someone you trust, reconnect with your support team and remember that one difficult period does not define your recovery.

You are worthy of support. You can come back.

If you or someone you care about has relapsed, consider reaching out to your treating team or GP. A conversation is a good place to start - you don’t have to navigate the next step alone. Speak with our Admissions Team on 1800 231 444.

🧠💙 Dementia Action Week: Dementia and Mental Health

When we talk about dementia, we often focus on memory and cognitive changes. But dementia can affect so much more - including a person’s mood, confidence, relationships and emotional wellbeing.

People living with dementia may experience anxiety, depression, frustration, social withdrawal or changes in behaviour. For families and carers, the emotional impact can also be significant, with stress, uncertainty, grief and exhaustion often becoming part of the journey.

This Dementia Action Week, we’re reminded that mental health is an important part of dementia care.

At Nundah Private, we’re fortunate to have Dr Kalyani Terli, Consultant Psychiatrist specialising in older persons psychiatry, as part of our team. Dr Terli has a particular interest in the assessment and treatment of older adults experiencing mood and anxiety disorders, as well as neurocognitive disorders including dementia.

Her approach considers the whole person - taking into account their mental health, cognitive health, relationships, family and individual circumstances.

💙 Because supporting someone with dementia isn’t just about memory. It’s about supporting the person behind the diagnosis, too.
