We are passionate about helping people.

A little less pressure, a little more self-compassion this Christmas.

The festive season can bring plenty of joy, but also expectations, commitments and added stress.

In this video, Alex shares a gentle reminder to slow down, be kind to yourself and let go of the pressure to make everything perfect.

Remember, your wellbeing deserves a place on your Christmas list too 🤍

At Moving Forward Clinical Psychologists, we believe good mental health care begins with creating a space where people feel comfortable being themselves.

We welcome people from different backgrounds, identities, cultures, family structures and life experiences, and recognise that each person brings their own story, values and perspective into the therapy room.

Our approach is centred on respect, understanding and individualised care, with the aim of providing a supportive environment where clients can speak openly and feel genuinely heard.

Because feeling understood should never be something you have to earn.

Booking an appointment is simple via our website at movingforward.net.au. If you’d prefer to speak with someone, you’re always welcome to call our friendly team on 1300 133 013.

Not every day needs to be productive, exciting or perfectly managed to still be a good day.

Sometimes progress looks like getting through something difficult, having an honest conversation, choosing rest, asking for help or simply giving yourself a little more patience than you did yesterday.
Small changes can matter more than they seem.

You don’t need to have everything figured out to be moving forward 😊

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health concerns experienced by Australians.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 17.2% of Australians aged 16–85 experienced an anxiety disorder within a 12-month period, making anxiety the most common group of mental disorders measured in the national survey.
Anxiety can present in many different ways. For some people it may be persistent worry or a feeling of always being “on edge”. For others, it might involve panic attacks, avoiding social situations, difficulty switching off, physical tension or feeling overwhelmed by situations that once felt manageable.

While experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life, when those feelings become persistent or begin interfering with work, relationships, sleep or everyday activities, it may be time to seek support.
Psychological therapy can help you better understand what is driving your anxiety and develop practical, evidence-based strategies to manage it.
Anxiety is common, but you don’t have to simply learn to live with it.

Parenting can be deeply rewarding, but it can also be demanding, unpredictable and emotionally exhausting.

There are times when parents can feel unsure about how to respond to their child’s behaviour, worried about changes in mood or confidence, or simply overwhelmed by the pressure to get everything right.
Psychological support can help parents better understand what may be happening beneath the behaviour, strengthen communication and develop strategies that feel more manageable for the whole family.
It can also provide a space for parents to talk openly about their own stress, frustration or uncertainty without judgement.

You don’t need to wait until things feel unmanageable to ask for support. Sometimes having guidance, perspective and a clearer understanding of what your child may need can make a meaningful difference at home.

If you feel your family could benefit from some extra support, our team at Moving Forward Clinical Psychologists is here to help.

As the weather gets warmer, many people become more conscious of their bodies. Lighter clothing, beach days, social events and an increase in appearance- focused messaging can bring body image concerns to the surface, particularly for those already struggling with self-criticism, comparison or their relationship with food and their body.

At Moving Forward, Clinical Psychologist Janene England has extensive experience supporting older teens and adults with eating disorders and body image concerns. Janene has been registered as a psychologist since 2006 and is trained in evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E).

Body image is about far more than appearance. It can influence confidence, mood, relationships and whether we feel comfortable participating in everyday life.

If you notice yourself becoming increasingly critical of your body, avoiding situations you would normally enjoy or feeling preoccupied with your appearance, it may be worth paying attention to those thoughts rather than simply pushing them aside.

With the right support, it is possible to develop a healthier and more compassionate relationship with your body and yourself ✨

The way we speak to ourselves can have a powerful influence on how we feel.

In this video, Clinical Psychologist Alex Corcoran explains how our internal dialogue can shape our emotions, confidence and the way we respond to everyday situations.
Becoming more aware of that inner voice is often the first step towards developing a more balanced and compassionate way of thinking.

We’re often much more understanding of the people we care about than we are of ourselves.

When something goes wrong, we can quickly become our own harshest critic — focusing on what we should have done differently, what we haven’t achieved or where we think we’ve fallen short.
Self-compassion is about offering ourselves some of the same patience, perspective and kindness we would naturally give to someone we care about.

It doesn’t mean ignoring difficulties or pretending everything is fine. It simply means recognising that being human includes mistakes, difficult days and times when we need a little more support.
Sometimes it’s worth asking: Would I speak to someone I love the way I’m speaking to myself?

Rest doesn’t always mean taking a holiday or completely stepping away from your responsibilities.

Sometimes it can simply mean allowing yourself a moment to stop.
📵 Turning off your phone for a while
🌿 Getting outside
☕ Having a quiet cup of tea
🚶 Taking a walk
🤍 Spending time with someone who helps you feel grounded
✨ Giving yourself permission not to be available all of the time

Small pauses can help create space between the demands of everyday life and give us an opportunity to reset.

Particularly during busy periods, making time to slow down can be an important part of looking after your wellbeing.

October is Mental Health Month — an opportunity to bring mental health into everyday conversation.

This year’s theme, Together We Thrive, highlights the importance of connection, belonging and feeling supported by the people around us.

Looking after our mental health doesn’t always require a big change. Sometimes it begins with a conversation, reaching out to someone we trust, asking for support or simply making more room for connection in our everyday lives.

Throughout October, we’ll be sharing some simple reminders about caring for your mental health and supporting the people around you 🌱
