You’ve felt the nudge to see a psychologist but keep putting it off. Maybe you're feeling hesitant about the cost of multiple appointments, the time, or just the dreaded thought of honestly opening up to someone.
-
You feel like this is all too much, unachievable and don’t know where to start. You’ve Googled, read articles, maybe even downloaded a few apps, but nothing sticks, and it’s exhausting trying to make sense of it all.
-
You feel the pressure to keep it together for everyone around you, but inside, you’re struggling. You know deep down if you don’t take action now, things could get worse, but it all feels like another overwhelming task to add to the pile.
you've started to isolate yourself from everyone, even loved ones, and feel so alone
you feel constantly drained, & are tired of feeling so hopeless & incapable
you can't afford sick days & not being on your A game, you have bills to pay
Hey there, I'm Dr Shiromi.
Firstly, congratulations on taking the brave step to prioritise your mental well-being; it takes immense courage. I know how disheartening the struggle is, desperately hoping things will get better, when in reality, it feels like each day gets harder and more out of control.
Waiting around not only gets you nowhere, but it’s also risky. It often leads to worsening symptoms – endless nights without decent rest, a constant sense of sadness, overwhelming worry, and withdrawing from loved ones. One day, you wake up and don’t recognise the person you’ve become. Your recovery is time-critical; the sooner you get access to expert help – lifestyle advice and psychological support – the sooner you can get back on track and start living life as the best version of yourself. The key to changing the status quo is to take one small step in the right direction today.
As a medical doctor passionate about mental health, I’ve dedicated my career to helping patients like you navigate this challenging time. I completed my medical degree at Monash University and earned my Fellowship with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. Over the years, I’ve advanced my skills with further training in psychological strategies, attending expert-led training and specialist conferences.
I help my patients change the status quo, build confidence and self-worth, establish a skillset to manage worries, and, importantly, feel a sense of relief that everything will be okay.
Have the skills to manage those persistent worries, allowing you to enjoy a restful night's sleep and wake up refreshed; energised to take on the day ahead
Ease the concerns of your loved ones by providing them with the reassurance they so desperately seek - the knowledge that you are safe and on the path to feeling happy

Self-doubt and lack of action are the number one obstacle to making progress. The mistake patients often make when trying to manage their mental health is waiting for the motivation and drive to kick in, waiting for that overwhelm to subside and for the time to be right. It’s a flawed conceptual thought at its core.
You’re going to find yourself waiting for a long time! In this scenario it’s actually a case of act now and the motivation and clarity will follow. I understand that this may feel inherently contrary to what we do but you have to remember, it’s a medical condition at the helm often causing the lack of drive and hesitancy. Be guided by a trusted GP; act now and analyse later. That’s the winning game play we adopt at The Cloud GP to tackle depression and anxiety, not only because it makes sense, but because we’ve seen it work time and time again.
