Psyche Psychology - South West

🎨✨ Introducing the Creative Space at SWWHIC! ✨🎨

Our Creative Space is now open every Wednesday morning from 10:00am–12:00pm at South West Women’s Health Information Centre — a calm, welcoming place for women to explore creativity at their own pace.

This space is yours to:
💜 Work on personal projects
💜 Experiment with materials we have on hand
💜 Relax, unwind, and enjoy a supportive environment

On the third Wednesday of each month, the Creative Space is used for Art Therapy Workshops, guided by Dani, offering:
🎨 A safe space for self-expression
🎨 Gentle therapeutic guidance
🎨 Opportunities to explore emotions through colour, texture, and form

You’re very welcome to join these workshops — or simply drop in on other Wednesdays to create whatever inspires you.

Want to know what Dani will be running in the space? Get in touch with us for more info!

Come along, get creative, and see where your imagination takes you! 🌸

🌸 October is Menopause Awareness Month 🌸

Menopause is a natural stage of life — but for many, it can bring a range of physical and emotional changes that aren’t always easy to navigate. You’re not alone, and support is available.

Every person’s experience of menopause is different. Some may face symptoms like hot flushes, sleep disruption, mood changes, brain fog, or changes in libido. Others may experience very few symptoms at all. All experiences are valid. 💛

Our team is here to offer information, support and compassionate care to help you feel informed and empowered through every stage of this transition.

✨ If you have questions, concerns, or simply want to talk to someone who understands — we’re here for you.

Radiance has received the heartbreaking news that a recent grant was declined to fund the invaluable perinatal Radiance Outreach 1:1 in-home support program and is seeking urgent community support.

“We are reaching out to our local community with a Go Fund Me campaign to ensure this program can keep running for at least the next twelve months. Just in the first year of this program we received over 125 referrals. Many of these mums were battling intrusive and harmful thoughts about themselves and/or their baby. Through our Outreach program we can visit these most vulnerable, often isolated, mums and babies and reconnect them with the community,” explains Radiance Manager, Anne Mackay.

Thank you to the team at Busselton Mail for shining a light on this with us!

Recently, we asked for a show of hands from young mums who may be interested in joining our group in 2025 and we're really pleased to let you know we will be starting again on 5 February!

Feel free to msg or PM us to find out more or let us know you'd like to join.
