Do you want to empower yourself in your own quiet time?
Do you want some of the experience of seeing a counsellor / coach without committing to a one-on-one session?
Do you want evidence based facts related to mental health and wellbeing to chew over?
Our education series might be for you!
Education empowers you to understand and make sense of your world, and is consequently one of the core components of a ‘Gold Star’ therapy called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) [1] [2]
Education and its self-empowerment are linked to improved health [1] [2]
The benefits of Psychosocial Education include: increased personal awareness, mental health literacy, recognising and normalising experiences and supporting those affected by psychological disorders [3] [4].
Hi, I’m Leah. I’ve assisted Higher Education Institutions (Chisholm Tafe) design post-graduate level degrees and I’ve taught undergraduate and post-graduate Psychology students at DEAKIN University.
I’m trained at University level in Education Design and have my Certificate IV in Training & Assessment. I’ve developed and delivered education for Community and Public Health services in Victoria. I’ve also worked with AUSAID to teach local Tongan people how to teach basic counselling skills. I believe that sustainable education is very important to powering change. If you’d like to know more about me, check-out my ‘About’ and ‘Home’ pages.
The Education series I’ve put together can be viewed on your phone, tablet, laptop or desktop! Convenient and delivered in a personal face to face style. Keep watching as the series of electure topics will continue to grow.

Perfectionism
Perfectionism is associated with numerous negative outcomes for people, including high levels of psychological distress and impaired functioning. Awareness of the negative impact of perfectionism in the community is low, and due to the nature of perfectionism, those who would benefit from treatment are unlikely to seek that treatment. Purchase this lecture to learn more about the adaptive and maladaptive nature of Perfectionism.

‘An investment in knowledge pays the best interest’
Benjamin Franklin
Discomfort After Learning?
It’s normal! New insights gained about ourselves from psychosocial education often result in some feelings of anxiety and self-consciousness [5]. So please know you may experience some discomfort after listening to our education series.
Research suggests anxiety related to new learning can be lowered by talking to a professional / teacher about how to integrate that new learning into their existing world view [5]. So for best outcomes, we encourage you to book a single ‘reflection’ session with our coach/counselor session.
If the discomfort of new learning continues to be unsettling, please:
- consider exploring your learning with us in a one to one session;
- contact your Doctor,
- in an emergency call 000; or
- contact a free supports such as Lifeline: on 13 11 14
