UNFURL TURNS ONE 🎂🌿🤍✨

celebrating with lamington cake and candles that perfectly match my jumper (very important aesthetic details obviously) 🥥🍰🕯️💚

i filmed this right at the start of getting a flu… and looking back now it is VERY evident, no thoughts just vibes. 😂

but honestly i’m just so so proud of unfurl and how far it’s come 🥹🌿

thank you to everyone who’s been part of it, supported it, or trusted us with their story, it genuinely means everything 🤍✨

#UnfurlPsychology #OneYearAnniversary #LamingtonCake #SmallBusinessAustralia #PsychologyPractice #TherapyFromHome 🌿🤍

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

#UnfurlPsychology #NeurodivergentTherapy #QueerAffirming #TherapyFromHome #AuDHD #NervousSystemRegulation #1YearAnniversary #PrivatePracticePsychologist

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.

🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️💋🪭

Meet Gabby, our Director and the brains behind Unfurl.

If you are tired of stiff, clinical spaces where you have to mask just to talk about your mental health, Gabby built this practice specifically for you.

Here is a quick cheat sheet on who she is:

✨ Her vibe: Down-to-earth, authentic, and zero robot energy. She is one of the girloies who will completely validate your chaos while helping you make sense of it.

✨ Her focus: She specializes in neuroaffirming care, late-diagnosed ADHD/autism, deep burnout, and helping overthinkers figure out their brains without the pressure to perform wellness.

✨ Her therapy rule: Come exactly as you are. Trackies, blanket forts, fidgets, and chaotic stories are not just accepted, they are the standard.

Gabby handles the big-picture stuff at Unfurl, making sure we deliver proper professional expertise without a single shred of corporate BS.

If your brain is currently a bit of a mess and you want a team that actually gets it, you are in safe hands here.

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.

If you are currently frozen on the couch by executive dysfunction, running on iced coffee and burnout, or overthinking a text you sent three hours ago, we see you.

This is Unfurl. We are psychologists, but we do not do the stiff, clinical, nod-and-stare therapy thing. Our whole deal is professional expertise delivered with actual friend energy.

A session with us basically looks like this:

- Turn up in your trackies, an oversized hoodie, or from a literal blanket fort.
- Bringing your snacks, fidgets, and pets (please!) Stimming is highly encouraged.
- Turning your camera off or just typing in the chat if talking feels like way too much today.
- Zero prep and zero pressure. You do not need a perfect list of topics for us to start figuring things out.

We built this space for young adults, late-diagnosed auDHDers, the LGBTQIA+ community, and deep feelers who are just tired of masking.

Show up exactly as you are. We will meet you there.
