Beyond Steroids: Addressing Body Image and Addiction in Men's Fitness Culture
Fitness is meant to enhance life, not consume it.

Read blogListen podcastMy journey with ADHD
Before my diagnosis, I often felt like an outsider, struggling with social cues and norms that seemed to elude me. Simple conversations became battlegrounds of misunderstanding, leaving me feeling isolated and disconnected. My journey with ADHD has given me valuable insights into the experiences of my patients, allowing me to empathise with their frustrations and experiences.
Read blogListen podcastThe Big C & My Journey
So, no, I am not a bloke and no, I am not a psychologist, but do know that I have experienced lots of ups and downs. I consider myself a work-in-progress, and I am getting there. My journey thus far has taught me the value of focusing on the here and now and to continue taking fairy steps towards self-improvement. I will never take my physical or mental health for granted and I encourage everyone to reach out to your GP if something does not feel right. I am so grateful for my family and friends, and I truly value all the connections I get to make through my personal and professional life. Finally, I feel incredibly lucky that my life experience has brought me to Blokes Psychology and please know that if you feel like a chat and I ask how you are that I really do want to know the honest answer.

Our lives can transform drastically in the blink of an eye, and this transformation has profound effects on our identity, thoughts, emotions, and behaviour.
Read blogListen podcastThe Power of The Present
Our awareness and focus is constantly shifting and changing throughout the course of a day. Even during seemingly still pockets of time, we can still find ourselves quietly thinking, for example, about an upcoming getaway next month, that time we felt embarrassed during a high school party, or otherwise noticing our minds drifting away from the here-and-now.

Sometimes, some people forget that they are creative. I’m not talking about singing and playing piano in front of 50,000 people creative, or winning the Archibald prize creative, or coming up with a very popular series of stories about a young wizard and his mates creative. I’m talking about the creativity that lives inside of you, even now as you read this, that you may have forgotten, or haven’t realised, that you have.
