“She’s just anxious.” “She’ll grow out of it.” “She’s doing fine at school.”

Many women and girls grew up hearing these lines, only to experience burnout, exhaustion, or anxiety later in life.

An estimated 80% of autistic females remain undiagnosed by age 18. Why? Because for many girls, women, and AFAB individuals, neurodivergence doesn't look like bouncing off the walls or high impulsivity. It looks like perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, and master-level masking.

In our latest blog post, Ella Gilmour, Clinical Psychology Registrar explores:
✨Why traditional diagnostic criteria missed so many
✨The mental health cost of masking and late diagnosis
✨How neurodiversity-affirming therapy can help address mental health and life challenges while honouring and protecting individual differences

👋 While it can be a bit of a wait to see her, we still would like to introduce Dr. Pauline Baleta!

🌱 Working with adolescents (14+) and adults, Pauline offers support for a wide range of complex presentations, including:

- Anxiety, Depression & Mood Disorders (including Bipolar)

Body positivity and body neutrality both aim to free us from body shame, but they take different paths to get there.

✨Body positivity is all about expanding the definition of beauty. It asks you to love what you see in the mirror, embrace your features, and remember that every body is inherently beautiful.

✨Body neutrality, on the other hand, removes beauty from the equation. It focuses on what your body does rather than how it looks, treating your frame as a vessel that carries you through life.

While body positivity changes how you view your appearance, body neutrality changes how much your appearance matters to you.

Both perspectives are about body acceptance and respect and support moving away from harsh criticism and shame. Choosing whichever feels best or elements of both can help move towards a healthier relationship with your body.

We have psychologists at both our clients who work with body image concerns, self-esteem and disordered eating.

Studying abroad sounds like the ultimate adventure, but for many international students in Australia, the reality is tough.

A recent study looked closely at the mental health of international students in Australia and found:

🏫Up to 54% of students report experiencing high psychological distress, with large numbers battling anxiety (up to 43%) and depression (up to 38%).

🏫 The biggest hurdles include loneliness and isolation (60-65%), financial or work struggles (up to 95%), language barriers, and safety or discrimination concerns.

Our Clinical Psychology Registrar, Anushri, is passionate about supporting international students navigating life away from home. From cultural adjustment and homesickness to stress, anxiety, academic pressures, and building a support system in a new country, Anushri provides a warm and culturally sensitive space to help students thrive.

To book with Anushri, head to our website via link in bio or all us on 07 3349 5511!

Did you know that up to 10% of the population experiences substantial anxiety over death?

The severe, debilitating fear of mortality (called Thanatophobia), is more prevalent than most realise. It frequently operates beneath the surface, driving chronic panic, OCD, and severe health anxieties.

Death and health anxiety can occur at any stage of life and the catalyst is often a sudden medical event, either experienced firsthand or witnessed in someone we care about. The death of a loved one is also a common trigger and can be compounded by grief and the fear of dying under similar circumstances.

Treatment for death and health anxiety often involves CBT strategies such as graded exposure therapy or acceptance-based strategies to help manage the anxiety and uncertainty.

But death is not just an abstract fear we manage. It is the one inevitability we will all face in our lifetime. When an individual is actively nearing the end of life, whether it is at a developmentally appropriate time or earlier than expected, there is often complex processes to unpack.

Psychologists can support individuals and their loved ones to adjust to their circumstances and work through emotional, relational, and existential challenges.

At My Psych Clinic we have clinicians who have a special interest in working with people with health and death anxiety as well as those who are affected by death and dying.

✨At our Toowong Clinic, Senior Psychologist Sarah Rotolone has a special interest in supporting people facing death, and can consider home visits where possible.

✨At our Eight Mile Plains clinic, Clinical Psychologist Rebecca Searle, has a special interest in helping people cope with health-related anxiety and managing uncertainty and stress related to illness

Both psychologist are accepting new clients, if you would like to know more about Sarah or Rebecca, head to our website via link in bio or call 07 3349 5511.

At My Psych Clinic, a few of our Psychologists love to cross-stitch and we love Evidence-Based Practice!

One of the ways we put Evidence-Based Practice into action is through Routine Outcome Monitoring and Feedback Informed Therapy.

If you are a client with us, you will know that we send out a brief questionnaire before each of your appointments via .psychometrics . These questionnaires measure symptoms of psychological distress and overall well-being, which helps inform your treatment and look at progress over time.

Our psychologists use this information in several ways which could include:

✨Track progress. We monitor your data to ensure that therapy is effective and that you are experiencing progress over time.

✨Guide conversations. The results provide a starting point to discuss how things have been since your last session.

✨Coordinate care. We use this data to share objective outcome data and progress with your referring pracitioner.

If you would like to learn more about how we use outcome monitoring at My Psych Clinic visit our website via the link in our bio!
