✨ 2026 so far...
Between sessions, reports, and supporting our clients, we’ve also been making time for the moments that keep us connected.

❄️ Winter swims (thanks, Teagan... we still can’t believe you convinced us 🥶)
🎉 Celebrating birthdays
🐶 Plenty of furry visitors
🧁 Enjoying delicious baked treats from our talented team
🥢 Christmas in July teppanyaki lunch
💛 And lots of laughs along the way.

We’re grateful for a team that knows how to work hard, support one another, and enjoy the little moments in between.
Here’s to the rest of 2026! ✨

Rachelle is passionate about providing a neuroaffirming space where clients can develop a deeper understanding of themselves, recognise their strengths, and build self-compassion while embracing their authentic identity. She is also dedicated to supporting parents of neurodivergent children, helping them navigate the unique challenges of parenting while building confidence to understand, support and advocate for their child.

To mark our Christmas party and end-of-year celebrations, the Wise Mind Psychology team headed to the beautiful Hunter Valley for a day of great company, fresh flavors, and a little festive fun 🎄

We rolled up our sleeves for a hands-on pasta cooking class and then unwound with a relaxed wine-tasting among the vines - the perfect way to wrap up another year 🍝

We’re incredibly proud of the dedication, warmth, and care each person brings to the practice year-round. Their commitment to and support for clients and for each other are what make Wise Mind so special. ⭐️

From all of us at Wise Mind Psychology, we wish you and your families a safe and joyful holiday season!
