Is Therapy Worth It?

One of the questions we are often asked at My Practice is: Is therapy worth it? Research has found that counselling can help people achieve greater success in their personal and professional lives, including happier relationships, more fulfilling careers, and financial success. If you are stressed, depressed, having trouble sleeping, or generally feel that your mental health could improve, therapy is an investment worth making.

Our Story

My Practice Counselling Melbourne was founded on the philosophy that counselling should be a unique and transformative experience. We are motivated by a desire to provide you with solutions to life’s most difficult problems. What sets us apart from others in the field is our holistic counselling approach that extends beyond the therapy room. We provide resources, tools, and education to enhance understanding and self-awareness. We believe in empowering you with the knowledge and skills to solve any problem you may be facing.

Survival Mode: What Business Owners Need to Know

Jonathan Riley

You closed the big deal. The quarter ended strong. The team is intact. So why does your chest still feel tight at 9 AM? Why are you still checking Slack at midnight? Why does every email notification feel like an alarm bell? Because your nervous system hasn’t received the memo that the emergency is over. […]

Holiday Guilt Loop: Nervous System in Survival Mode

Jonathan Riley

You’re at a friend’s holiday gathering. Your phone is in your pocket. But your mind is running through the client email you haven’t answered, the proposal that’s sitting in draft, the decision you need to make by Monday morning. You tell yourself to be present. You mentally scold yourself for thinking about work. And then, […]

The Three Leadership Decisions You Make From Cortisol (And Don’t Even Know It)

Jonathan Riley

You pride yourself on being decisive. Fast. Action oriented. But what if the speed you’ve mistaken for strategic clarity is actually your nervous system trying to outrun a threat that doesn’t exist? Here’s what I’ve observed across 15 years of clinical work with high performing business owners: the decisions you make under sympathetic dominance feel […]

Business Owner Who Fixed Everything But Themself

Jonathan Riley

You built a business that runs without you. You hired the right people. You systemized the chaos. You finally have the infrastructure you dreamed about three years ago. So why do you still feel like you’re running on a treadmill at 3am? This is the conversation I’ve had with dozens of high performing business owners […]

The Business Model You Didn’t Mean to Build: Running on Dysregulation

Jonathan Riley

You’ve built a business that only works when you’re in crisis mode. Not because you planned it that way. But because every system, every process, every decision point was designed while your nervous system was in sympathetic dominance. You created structures that require your hypervigilance to function. Your business doesn’t just depend on you. It […]

You’re Not Burned Out. You’re in Survival Mode. And That Changes Everything

Jonathan Riley

You know the signs by now. You wake up already planning. Your jaw is tight before your first meeting. You’re making million dollar decisions on four hours of sleep and whatever energy you can borrow from caffeine and adrenaline. You tell yourself you’ll slow down after this quarter, after this launch, after you hire that […]

Your Body Doesn’t Know the Difference Between a Bear and a Bad Quarter

Jonathan Riley

When your CFO tells you the numbers are off, your heart rate spikes. Your chest tightens. Your thoughts race between damage control and worst case scenarios. You’re sitting in a conference room, but your body is preparing to fight or flee. Here’s what most business leaders don’t realize: your nervous system can’t distinguish between a […]

The Business Tells You to Think Strategically. Your Nervous System Says Run

Jonathan Riley

You know exactly what your business needs. The strategic pivot. The delegation plan. The boundary with that one client. You’ve mapped it out, maybe even put it in your quarterly goals. And yet, three months later, you’re still operating like the building is on fire. This isn’t a discipline problem. It’s not that you lack […]

Business Survival Mode Reality Check | Are You Stuck?

Jonathan Riley

Are you leading your business, or is your business leading you? Answer YES or NO to each question based on how you’ve felt over the past month. YOUR SCORE: 0–4 YES: Strategic Leader You’re maintaining perspective and making intentional choices. Keep protecting this headspace. 5–8 YES: Juggling Mode You’re managing, but the cracks are showing. […]

Entrepreneurial Loneliness: Why No One Understands

Jonathan Riley

You’re at dinner with old friends. Someone complains about their boss. Another vents about office politics. You nod, you smile, but inside there’s a gulf widening. You can’t explain the weight of payroll uncertainty, the 3am decision spirals, or why missing a family event wasn’t a choice but a necessity. You leave feeling more alone […]

Do I Need Therapy?

Life is full of ups and downs, problems and challenges. It’s common to wonder if you actually need therapy. Admitting that you need help and reaching out can help you get back on track. Going to therapy isn’t a sign of weakness or something to be ashamed of. It’s also important to understand that you don’t need to have a diagnosed mental health condition in order to benefit from therapy.
