How we can help.

No one tells you that figuring out who you are doesn't stop at 18.
Somewhere along the way we got the idea that identity is a teenage thing, you sort it out, you land somewhere, and that's that. But it's not true. Gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, all of it, can keep unfolding well into your 20s, 30s... forever.
That's not you being behind, a delay or a phase you should've grown out of. It's just when it happens for you.
You don't need the right words for it yet. You don't need to have it figured out before you reach out. That's kind of the whole point of doing this work with someone. 🌈🙆

Growth isn’t about becoming a whole different human. It’s about giving yourself more grace, dropping the shame, and learning how to deal with the crunchy parts of life without spiralling or burning out every time.

At Unfurl Psychology, we’re not here to “fix” you. If you’re burnt out, neurodivergent, or dealing with relational trauma, it makes sense if things feel messy or like too much.

We focus on helping your nervous system feel a bit safer so things feel less like constant survival mode and more manageable day-to-day.

Our telehealth sessions are neuro-affirming and trauma-informed. You can show up as you are: tired, overwhelmed, unmasked, in your pjs...whatever.

No performance required.

If you want support, you can book or learn more via the link in our bio 🌿

Behind the scenes of a neuro-affirming practice. 💻✨

Here’s what an early morning “day in the life” looks like for our Psychologist and Director, Gabby:

- Protecting the morning baseline: starting slowly with coffee and giving myself space to orient before jumping into decisions or client work.
- Getting a sense of the day: looking over the schedule and client notes so I know what’s coming up and what each part of the day needs.
- Deciding what actually matters today: identifying the key priorities—clinical oversight, team needs, and anything that needs my attention or judgement.
- Clearing the small stuff early: getting admin and little tasks out of the way (or delegated) so they don’t creep into clinical thinking later.
- Client time. Gabby see's (almost ) all her clients in the first few hours of her day, when she's most fesh and engaged.
- Admin time: this is time set aside for notes, research, sending resources to clients, emailing their care team or gp.
- Business time: all the practice magic happens here.
- Regulation activity: afternoon dog walk and evening pole to regulate the nervous system and transition out of 'work mode'

🖤 Bullying | No Way Week

This week is Bullying No Way Week. This national Australian initiative focuses on preventing bullying and promoting kindness, safety, and inclusion in schools and communities. It’s a reminder that bullying isn’t something to normalise or minimise, and that every person deserves to feel safe and respected in the spaces they move through.

From a nervous system perspective, bullying isn’t “just conflict” or “just words.”

It is something the brain and body register as real threat.

Neurological pain
Social rejection and exclusion activate the same brain pathways as physical pain. The brain doesn’t distinguish between a broken bone and a broken social bond, both register as hurt.

Chronic hyper-vigilance
When bullying is ongoing, the nervous system can shift into survival mode. This can look like constantly scanning for danger, overthinking interactions, masking who you are, and staying on edge just to get through the day.

Loss of belonging
We are biologically wired for connection. Bullying disrupts that core sense of safety with others and can send a deep internal message of “I am not safe as myself.”

Over time, this can shape development in lasting ways, influencing how safe someone feels in relationships, groups, and communities long after the bullying has stopped.

This is why bullying prevention matters. Not just emotionally or socially, but at the level of the nervous system and brain development.

Let’s do a quick behind-the-scenes look at the Unfurl setup 💻✨

If you’ve had telehealth with us, you’ll know we care a lot about adapting your environment, accomodations and nervous system regulation.
Our workspace isn’t separate from that, it’s built on it.

Everything here has a job:

- Sensory anchors: a meditation chair for posture shifts, a desk heater for grounding, comfy layers, and a Squishmallow (Derrick).

- Focus + fidgets: tools to discharge restlessness, plants for visual calm, and low-demand activities like colouring for reset moments.

- Regulation supports: eucalyptus for quick grounding, and the real MVPs—our pups providing steady co-regulation from their crate.

This isn’t about a “perfect” workspace. It’s about building something that keeps the nervous system steady enough to do meaningful work.

What’s one non-negotiable in your own setup that keeps you regulated? 👇

Our telehealth therapy essentials starter pack 👇💻✨
Not pictured: the 17 tabs I accidentally have open.

One of my favourite things about telehealth is that you get to create your own therapy environment.

Want to cuddle a Squishmallow in session? Go for it.

Need a fidget, a weighted blanket, a pet, three emotional support beverages, and your comfiest clothes? Excellent.

Therapy isn't a school exam. You don't get bonus points for sitting perfectly still in an uncomfortable chair wearing corporate clothing.

For a lot of neurodivergent folks, being able to stim, move around, cuddle a pet, wear comfy clothes, or control the sensory environment can make it so much easier to actually engage and foucs on the conversation.

Your brain is already doing the hard work. If a accomodations help make that easier, bring them along.

Come as you are, We'll meet you there.

Traditional socializing is often exhausting. It usually involves loud venues, rigid timelines, intense eye contact, and the unspoken pressure to constantly "perform" or mask your traits just to fit in.

By the time you get home, your nervous system is completely fried.

If you are currently dealing with burnout, chronic stress, or executive dysfunction, you don't necessarily need to isolate yourself completely, but you might need to adapt how you socialise. Low-stakes socializing removes the hidden demands of hanging out and focuses entirely on shared safety. It looks like:

+ Parallel Play: Sitting in the same room with a safe person while you both work on completely different things. You don't have to maintain a constant stream of conversation; you can just exist side-by-side.

+ Removing the Performance: Hanging out in environments where you don't have to dress up, mask your neurodivergent traits, or monitor your body language. You can be fully unmasked and horizontal on a couch.

+ Low Sensory Load: Choosing quiet, predictable spaces over crowded cafes, loud restaurants, or hectic bars that instantly trigger sensory overload.

+ An Easy Exit: Setting the expectation upfront that it’s a casual, short hang. You can drop in for thirty minutes or leave the second your social battery hits zero without any guilt or awkwardness.

Sometimes socialising looks like finding a few safe people who let you bring your fully exhausted self into their space and don't demand a single thing from you.

People often ask where the name Unfurl Psychology came from. To be fair, if you've seen my office, the plant obsession probably gives you a clue. 🌿
But the name actually means a lot more to me than just having too many houseplants.

When a new leaf first grows, it doesn't appear fully open. It starts off tightly curled, folded in on itself. Then, when the conditions are right, enough light, enough safety, enough support, it slowly begins to unfurl.

I think people are a lot like that.

When you've lived through trauma, chronic stress, burnout, rejection, or years of trying to navigate a world that wasn't built for your neurotype, it makes sense that parts of you might curl inward. Anxiety, hypervigilance, shutdown, people-pleasing, masking, these are often ways our nervous systems try to keep us safe.

And just like you shouldn't force a leaf to open by pulling on it, you can't shame yourself into healing.

At Unfurl, therapy isn't about "fixing" you. It's about creating enough safety, understanding, and support that your nervous system doesn't have to work quite so hard to protect you anymore.

Because when the conditions are right, growth tends to happen naturally.

(And yes, having a business name that supports my plant-buying habit is a bonus. 🌿😌)

There are some things you guys do in session that make me absolutely love being a therapist. The best parts of my week are the real, human moments where our sessions spill over into your daily life.

If you do any of these, please know it completely makes my day:

-v The "Look at this TikTok" moments: When you see a video or a meme that reminds you of our conversations and you bring it in to show me.
-The "I was telling my friend about how you said..." realisation: Hearing that you felt safe and proud enough to share our session insights with the people in your life.
- The photo visual aids: Pulling out your phone to show me pictures of the new person you're dating, your friends, or your ex so I can finally put a face to the name.
- The pet photobombs: When your cat or dog completely hijacks our telehealth screen. (Please never stop doing this).
- The major life leaps: Finally taking that trip or quitting that toxic job you’ve been talking about doing for ages.

But my absolute favourite? When you start to catch your own tiny mental shifts in real-time. Hearing you say, "Usually I would have panicked/reacted like this, but this week I responded like this instead" is the best feeling in the world.

What’s a random thing you've been excited to bring to your session lately? 👇

+ Micro-wins: Celebrate the small stuff. Catching a negative thought loop or resting without guilt counts as progress

+ Breathe: Drop your shoulders and take one slow exhale when things get tight to signal safety to your brain.

+ Social battery: Say an unapologetic "no" to high-sensory, high-demand plans that will leave you fried.

+ Proximal connection: Skip the heavy chatting. Just exist in the same space as a safe person with zero pressure to perform.

+ The wave: Stop trying to logic your way out of a heavy feeling. Label the peak and let the physical sensation pass through you.

+ Therapy: Prioritise your brain. Lock in that zero-judgment hour to let your system safely unfurl.

If you are neurodivergent or highly sensitive, you are probably so used to overriding your physical environment just to get through the day that you don’t even notice when you’ve hit your limit.

Consider this a quick, zero-demand pause to check in with your immediate sensory surroundings right now.

Our brains spend an immense amount of energy trying to filter out the world. Sometimes the fastest way to lower your baseline anxiety is to adjust your immediate physical environment.

Go drink some water, turn off the big light, and change into something comfortable.

If you need a quick reset right this second: Unclench your jaw, drop your shoulders away from your ears, and take one long, slow exhale.

Your nervous system will thank you.

We are flooded with advice telling us to self-regulate. We are told to go do breathing exercises, meditate, or take a walk alone in a quiet room whenever we feel overwhelmed, anxious, or triggered. These tools are awesome and so helpful but the reality of being human is that we don't have to exclusively soothe ourselves in isolation.

Co-regulation is when we lean on the regulated nervous system of a safe person to help us calm down. When you are completely red-lining, your brain can struggle to find safety on its own. You often need someone else's calm, steady presence to anchor you.

It doesn’t mean you need to talk through a massive problem. Sometimes co-regulation looks like:

- Sitting on the couch in complete silence with someone who lets you fully unmask.
- A tight, heavy hug that tells your nervous system it’s safe to drop its guard.
- Having someone sit in the room with you while you do a task that feels impossible.

Self-regulation is awesome, AND it's completely ok to lean on community, connection, and shared safety when we need too. 🤍

Telehealth Psychology for late diagnosed ADHDers/ autistic folk experiencing burnout, perfectionism or big life transitions. ✨

Telehealth Psychology for late diagnosed ADHDers/ autistic folk experiencing burnout, perfectionism or big life transitions. ✨

Meet Em, our incredible psychologist here at Unfurl. ✨

If you want a therapist who is warm, a little bit quirky, fairly chatty, and completely down-to-earth, Em is your person. She is a late-diagnosed ADHDer herself, so she completely gets what it is like to try and navigate a world that was not built for your brain.

Here is the quick cheat sheet on Em:

🪴Her background: Before becoming a psychologist, she spent 13 years working as a teacher. She has also lived and worked all over the place, from the UK to regional Australia like North Queensland and the Kimberley.

🪴Her vibe: Zero clinical stiffness. Em focuses on real-world, practical strategies that actually fit into your everyday life. She is all about helping you figure yourself out, dropping the shame, and embracing your brain.

🪴Outside of therapy: You will find her walking her dogs, reading on her Kindle, swimming at the beach, or tracking down a good coffee. Also, Japanese food is her absolute go-to dopamine meal. Same, honestly.

Em is a massive ally to the LGBTQIA+ and First Nations communities. She welcomes all identities and backgrounds, and her number one rule is that you get to show up exactly as you are.

Meet Em, our incredible psychologist here at Unfurl. ✨

If you want a therapist who is warm, a little bit quirky, fairly chatty, and completely down-to-earth, Em is your person. She is a late-diagnosed ADHDer herself, so she completely gets what it is like to try and navigate a world that was not built for your brain.

Here is the quick cheat sheet on Em:

Sometimes we treat emotions like problems that need to be solved as quickly as possible.

Anxiety? Make it stop.
Sadness? Get rid of it.
Anger? Push it down.
Overwhelm? Power through.

But emotions aren't permanent states, they're more like waves.

They rise, peak, and eventually fall again. The tricky part is that when we're in the middle of a big feeling, it can seem like it'll last forever. That's often when we start fighting it, avoiding it, distracting ourselves, or judging ourselves for having it in the first place.

What if, instead, you got curious?

🌊 What am I feeling right now?
🌊 Where can I notice it in my body?
🌊 What might this emotion be trying to tell me?
🌊 What do I need while this wave passes?

Riding the wave doesn't mean enjoying difficult emotions, that it's easy to cope, or we are giving up when things are hard. It means trusting that feelings are temporary and that you can move through them without needing to control every part of the experience.

You don't have to stop the wave, sometimes the goal is simply to stay on the surfboard. 🏄

The ADHD "Boom-Bust" cycle is one of the quickest routes to chronic burnout, yet so many of us are completely trapped in it.

It looks like this: You get a sudden burst of dopamine and energy (the Boom). You feel unstoppable, so you try to do everything at once: you clean the entire house, finish all your work, reply to every message, and overcommit your schedule.

But because ADHD brains struggle to regulate output, you completely override your body’s actual energy limits.

Then comes the inevitable crash (the Bust). You hit a wall of intense executive dysfunction, deep physical exhaustion, and brain fog where even opening an email feels impossible.

The biggest mistake is treating the "Bust" phase as a personal failure or laziness. It’s not. It’s the direct physiological consequence of the Boom.

Breaking this cycle isn't about trying harder or forcing yourself to be consistent. It’s about learning how to recognise when you are in a "Boom" and intentionally capping your energy before you run your battery down to zero.

You don’t have to empty the tank just because it feels full right now. 🧠🔌

Meet Em (she/her) 👋🧠✨ your resident late-diagnosed ADHD psychologist, professional dog mum, and full-time overthinking translator.

If you’re currently staring at a mounting to-do list, feeling aggressively "behind" in life, or wondering if your latest hyperfixation is a personality trait or just burnout... welcome. You are entirely safe here.

Em doesn’t do the clinical, blank-slate, "and how does that make you feel?" vibe. Instead, she brings:

- Neuroaffirming realness: Because trying to force an ADHD/autistic brain into a neurotypical box is exhausting. Let’s build systems that actually work with your executive dysfunction, not against it.

- Burnout recovery: For the high-achieving perfectionists, corporate baddies, healthcare workers, and students who are currently running on 2% battery and pure vibes.

- Zero judgement identity exploration: A space where you can drop the mask, unpack late-in-life diagnoses, or navigate life as an LGBTQIA+ or gender-diverse human.

When she’s not in the therapy room, you can find her:
🌊 Escaping to the beach (the ultimate nervous system reset)
🇬🇧 Reminiscing about her days living in the UK
🐶 Being aggressively perceived by her two dogs
🥢 Chasing her latest dopamine hit via Japanese food

You don’t need to be "fixed", you just need to understand how your brain works so life can finally start feeling sustainable.

Ready to trade the harsh self-criticism for some actual strategies? Click the link in our bio to book a free 15 min discovery session. 🤍

Intimacy, relationships, and sexuality are huge parts of our everyday lives, yet they are often really hard to actually bring into a therapy room.

A lot of people feel like they have to keep these topics sanitised or separate from the "real" psychological work. Or they worry that talking about their desire, their relationship dynamics, or their body image will feel too vulnerable, messy, or judged.

At Unfurl, you don't have to leave the intimate parts of yourself at the door.

Whether you are navigating:

- How neurodivergence impacts your sensory capacity for touch and intimacy
- The heavy intersection of trauma, body image, and connection
- Exploring your identity or relationship structures outside of traditional norms
- Or just trying to figure out how to safely unmask with the people you love

Our job isn’t to steer around the deeply personal stuff or treat it with clinical awkwardness. We are here to create a space that is safe, queer-affirming, sex positive and zero-judgment, so you can untangle the vulnerable things without having to water them down.

Healing isn't just about managing burnout or processing the past, it’s about feeling safe enough in your own skin to experience genuine connection. 🩵

this year starting unfurl has honestly changed the way I think about therapy and myself as a psychologist

I used to think I had to be really polished, really neutral, really “blank slate”
but it turns out clients actually really value when we show up as a real human too

being honest when I don’t know something, having real reactions in the room, laughing, getting teary, caring out loud, it all actually deepens the work, not takes away from it. The biggest thing I’ve learned is that connection is what matters most. People don’t want a performance from their therapist, they want a real relationship and real therapeutic work, where they feel seen and not like a number

I’m honestly so proud of what we get to offer at unfurl. every person who trusts us with their story is genuinely incredible, and i don’t take that lightly at all. What a gift this work is 🌿🤍

one feels a little wild.

A year ago, Unfurl was just an idea: what if therapy could feel a bit different? What if there was a space where people didn’t have to mask, perform, or try to be the “perfect client”? What if those rules applied to the therapist too…

Fast forward a year, and because of all of you, that’s exactly what we’ve built together. 🥹🤍

Over the last year we’ve laughed, cried, processed some really big stuff, celebrated wins, met a lot of pets, and watched people grow in ways that have been genuinely so damn cool to witness.

The thing that makes Unfurl special isn’t us - it’s you. It’s every person who has shown up exactly as they are, trusted us with their story, and allowed themselves to unfurl, even just a little.

Because of this amazing community, Unfurl has grown far beyond anything I imagined. We’ve even welcomed the wonderful Em to the team, which still feels surreal.

We’ve always believed that therapy can be both deeply impactful and genuinely human. You shouldn’t have to leave parts of yourself at the door to access good support.

To everyone who has trusted us over the last year: thank you for being here. We’re so excited for what’s next. 🌿🤍

We’re just getting started <3

One session we’re getting out of the intellectualising and tuning into what emotions actually feel like in your body. The next, we’re working on nervous system regulation through mindfulness, co-regulation, and other practical strategies.

We do the deeper clinical work too. EMDR trauma processing. Parts work. Exploring identity. Making sense of the past. Thinking about the future and what you want from it.

At Unfurl, we use solid, evidence-based therapies without the clinical coldness or the therapy-speak. Just good therapy with someone who feels like an actual person.

Books are open. Link in bio to secure your spot. x

Nervous system regulation is one of those things that gets talked about a lot online, but the explanations are often missing.

Understanding why a strategy works can make it easier to choose the right tool for the situation, rather than trying random coping skills and hoping something sticks.

Here are some neuro-affirming regulation strategies, along with a quick explanation of what they do and how they can support your nervous system. 🌿

Sending the biggest, most massive wave of love to the LGBTQIA+ community, and all the incredible sistergirls and brotherboys this June.🏳️‍🌈 🌈✨💖

Did you know that Pride Month actually started as a huge protest? June marks the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York back in 1969, when a group of queer legends finally said "enough" to constant discrimination and police raids. It completely laid the foundation for the freedom to just exist as we are.

We also have such a proud, deep history right here in our own backyard. Sistergirl and Brotherboy cultures have a long history that predates modern Pride by thousands of years, holding deeply respected places in traditional culture and community roles. They have also been right on the front lines of Australia's Pride history, marching and fighting for civil rights since our very first Mardi Gras back in 1978. 🎉

Pride is an amazing celebration, but it is also a huge reminder of how much resilience it took to get here, and how much work there is still left to do. ✨

Whether you are out and loud, figuring it all out as you go, or somewhere entirely in between, you deserve to be loved, protected, and cheered on every single day.

Have a beautiful Pride. We are right here in your corner always.

Shouting "just get off the couch" at a gridlocked brain does not work.

When your internal traffic controller drops the clipboard and walks off the job, mashing the starter button and calling yourself lazy is only going to make the intersection more chaotic.

If you are currently frozen on the couch feeling guilty, this is your official sign to drop the bullying. Your brain is not broken, it is just trying to clear the gridlock.

We talk about this stuff in therapy all the time. Not to force your brain to work like a robot, but to figure out how to stop fighting the traffic so you can actually cope and recover.

Swipe through for a few ways to reset the system when you are completely stuck.
