A little webinar update ✨

Due to some website errors causing issues with registration, we have rescheduled our So, You’re Thinking About Private Practice? webinar to Wednesday 19th August.

To say thank you for your patience, we’ve also extended our early bird registration for just $15, available until 11th August.

This 2-hour introductory webinar is for provisional psychologists, early career psychologists, and clinicians who are curious about the different ways private practice can look — from contracting and salaried roles to group practice and going solo.

Thank you to everyone who let us know about the registration issues. The link should now be working smoothly via our bio.

Weekly truth: you can’t always think your way out of feeling human.

Sometimes life is hard because it is hard.

Not because you are not positive enough.
Not because you have not journaled enough.
Not because you are failing at coping.

There are moments where the goal is not to “think better” immediately.

Sometimes the goal is to pause.
To feel what is there.
To reach for support.
To take the next small step.

You are allowed to need more than mindset.

We asked Dr Kim: what are some simple ways you show up for yourself as a psychologist?

Her answer was refreshingly practical:

I see no more than 6 clients a day.
I always take a lunch break.
I seek regular debrief and supervision.
I take time off throughout the year.

As psychologists, we spend a lot of time talking about boundaries, sustainability and self-care.

But these things matter for clinicians too.

Showing up well for others starts with creating the conditions to show up well in the work.

Today we said goodbye to our Semester 1 provisional psychologists. They have been such an incredible team, so much that some are staying on as part of our employee team! Stay tuned to see who is staying, and who we are welcoming for Semester 2!

As part of our placement program, Dr. Kim facilitates a group session focused on what private practice looks like post-registration. There are so many types of professional options for graduate psychologists but universities don’t offer this teaching as part of their programs.

Dr. Kim has worked in all types of employment arrangement; employee, solo practitioner, and sub contractor. She has experience for the benefits and challenges of each.

As her role as supervisor, Dr. Kim believes this is an integral part of our professional training and aims to support those entering the private practice workforce by equipping them with more real-world knowledge about the industry.

Our scheduled fees for July to December 2026

We know that clear information about fees helps families and clients plan ahead with confidence.

From July to December 2026, our scheduled fees will outline therapy, assessment and intern clinic options across DKM Psychology.

We have made a conscious decision to keep our session fees unchanged for the remainder of the 2026 calendar year, despite the increase to Medicare rebates from 1 July.

This means clients accessing Medicare rebates may see a small reduction in their out-of-pocket cost for eligible sessions.

As always, our team will continue to offer a range of options across registered psychologists, clinical psychology, provisional psychology, therapy and assessments.

For any questions about fees, rebates, referrals or payment options, please contact our admin team.

Clarity matters. Access matters. Planning ahead matters.

“How could you work in a prison?”

It’s a question I’ve been asked many times.

Early in my career, supervision helped me understand that psychological work in custodial settings is not separate from public safety. It is part of it.

A small part, yes — but an important one.

Most people in custody will eventually return to the community. The work done during their sentence can support insight, accountability, emotional regulation, behaviour change, and safer reintegration.

It is never just about the individual in front of you.

It is also about the families, workplaces, neighbourhoods and communities they return to.

That perspective helped me hold the complexity of the work: compassion without naïvety, accountability without dehumanisation, and care with a clear understanding of risk.

Despite all of the challenges, the clinical work, relationships with colleagues, and the supervision I received, shaped my professional self.

We get asked this all the time: what do we think about squishies and fidgets in the classroom?

The honest answer? It’s a balance.

Some students genuinely need movement or sensory input to support focus, regulation and learning. And many teachers understand this deeply.

But classrooms are shared spaces, and limits are often needed so one student’s support tool does not become another student’s distraction.

That’s why discreet, low-disruption options can be so helpful.
and.her has shared some excellent classroom-friendly fidget ideas that support student needs while still respecting the learning environment around them.

It’s not about removing supports.
It’s about choosing supports that work for the child, the teacher and the classroom.
