Have you ever wondered... just what do Psychologists do?

There is often a lot of misunderstanding about ‘what psychologists do’…
People often assume that psychologists or counsellors spend a lot of time solving their client’s problems or ‘fixing’ what is ‘wrong’ with them.

Well, yes, it is true that we do try to support people to manage problem issues in life.
 
But, what most people don’t understand is that more often than not, it is the client who holds the knowledge and the key to their own success.

Sibling Awareness Day - inSync for Life - Counselling and Psychology
Siblings Awareness Day!
Full… Half… Step! Brothers and SistersThink about this for a moment:
your relationship with your siblings is likely to be the longest you will have with anyone in your life
 
We hear much about the negative interaction and impact of siblings on each other. As kids, we don’t usually get the choice of living with our siblings…it usually just happens!

​So, when sibling relationships go bad, it can really mess with you.

Day Against Bullying and Violence - inSync for Life - Counselling and Psychology

​Friday 15 March is National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence

It seems that never before has the issue of bullying and violence being so obvious in our community and so widespread.
It has become a daily occurrence on our streets and in our news reports… and in our schools we frequently see students fighting and bullying those more vulnerable.

Shocking road rage incidents are captured almost daily by car cameras and broadcast to the world.
 
Family and domestic violence continues in all layers of our society.

Why? What’s the answer?

Mummy Guilt Post - inSync for Life - Counselling and Psychology

Part 2

In Part One of this series, I introduced you to the idea of Mummy Guilt…
 
…not that most parents/caregivers reading this will need much of an introduction to this guilt…!
 
In Part Two, I’m going to talk a little more about managing Mummy Guilt…
 
First, it’s important to know that Guilt is a typical feeling that occurs when we have done something that deep-down, we know is wrong… being aware of
feelings of Guilt can help us ‘correct’ our behaviour to match our deeply-held beliefs.
 
However, this is not Mummy Guilt…!

Mummy Guilt post - inSync for Life - Counselling and Psychology

Part 1

It’s that time of year again!
School’s back…
our children, and us, are back into new routines and rituals that will carry us through the weeks…and months… ahead.

And now, that thing called Mummy Guilt has resurfaced in my head and in conversations with other mummies (and daddies!).
But for some reason, this time, strangely, it’s because I am NOT feeling it!
​
So, what’s happened?

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Relaxation
First, it’s important to understand that I’m not using the word ‘relaxation’ here to mean watching television, gardening, or having a glass or two of your favourite drink…while each of these things might have a place in your life, let’s call them methods of recreation.

Cyber Bullying has been called ‘an old problem in a new guise’

​It’s unfortunate that the harassment tactics of bullies that has being existent probably for all time, now surfaces in the dark side of modern technology, giving rise to Cyber Bullying.

The significant growth of such technology has led to a rapid and extensive growth in the use of email, texting, chat rooms, and mobile phones including mobile phone cameras, and social media processes that are all so common in today’s world.
It is now through these methods that many bullies have found an outlet for their often insidious and almost always destructive behaviour.
