When you say ‘we’ for the first time with your therapist and there’s that moment of silence between saying it and seeing how they react….

After 7 years of Guided Healing Psychology offering therapy… it’s time for a shift.

The work I’ve done through GHP has held so much — so many stories, so much learned, so much growth (for my clients, and for me). I’ve genuinely loved this part of my journey.

Part of reflecting on my own growth, I’ve made the decision to close GHP’s therapy services as of April 13, 2026.

I’ll continue to offer:
✨professional supervision
✨ running trainings and workshops
✨ speaking and teaching etc

And I’ll continue seeing therapy clients from a new clinic, working alongside other psychologists.

Guided Healing Psychology will continue to exist — just in a different way.

If you’d like to follow along with this next chapter of my work, I’ll be sharing more over on .
I’ll still be posting here too, just a little less often.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this chapter. And to those continuing with me into the next one — I’m really looking forward to it 🤍

March 5th is DID Awareness Day.

Dissociative Identity Disorder remains widely misunderstood, even within mental health spaces. Awareness helps reduce stigma and opens the door for better support.

I’m grateful to be able to work alongside members of this community every day.

Joh’s running this workshop again this year after the October session sold out! If you’re a psychologist working with dissociative systems, then this workshop is an essential CPD.

🌻Meet the team behind Guided Healing Psychology 🐾

I’m Joh Knyn, Director and Principal Psychologist at Guided Healing Psychology (GHP). I established GHP in early 2020, and nearly six years on, I continue to find this work deeply rewarding. I learn something new from every person I’ve worked with and am grateful to walk alongside so many on their healing journeys.

My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and respect for each person’s pace of healing.

Alongside me are Herman and Hugo — the heartwarming members of the team who remind us that our animals can be just as healing as our relationships with people.
Herman (my red noodle) is sweet and attentive, ensuring you know you’ve been missed between sessions and is always up for a pat or cuddle.
Hugo (my black & tan nugget) is gentle, offering a stable and quiet presence in the therapy space.

They’re both part of the furniture (quite literally) and can join sessions at the office. If you ever have trouble getting through on the phone, it might just be that their opposable thumbs haven’t improved — but please leave us a voicemail or send an email instead 🐶.

Completing risk assessments with clients who live with DID can be challenging as a psychologist - you may think to yourself...

✏️Am I really confident in the outcome I’ve documented?
🤝Did I approach the assessment in an affirming way?
🗣️How do I maintain client rapport while asking hard questions?
🧩Have I truly considered the unique dynamics of RAMCOA-related DID presentations?

Risk assessments with plural clients can’t be “one-size-fits-all.” Without adaptation, psychologists may feel unsure, clients may feel unseen, and we may end up causing harm.

✨ Join us on Oct 23 to learn how to adapt risk assessments for plural clients, spots are limited, don’t miss out! 🔗 Link in bio.

This week I had the privilege of presenting at UQ for the Masters Psychology students.

I introduced them to parts work and discussed approaches to complex trauma from an affirming, trauma-informed perspective.

It was very cool to see incoming psychologists engaging deeply with these ideas and asking thoughtful questions.
