Located in the heart Brisbane in Teneriffe, we are a private practice centred around providing the practical, evidence-based, and results focussed treatment.
We are committed to enabling psychologists in our group, to work with their preferred client group/s because with a foundation in Positive Psychology we understand that working to your strengths will provide the best outcomes for both the client and the clinician.
Our Focus & Values:
We aim to remain a bespoke provider of clinical and coaching psychology services to our private and corporate clients. We are interested in deepening our expertise and capability. We believe in ‘depth over breadth’ with respect to both scope of competency and professional practice. We value connected relationships with the people we work with and understand that this is best achieved by containing the size of our group.
- Our strength-based approach is derived from positive psychology which asserts that people (both clients and colleagues) are more likely to flourish and reach their potential if they align their development with their innate strengths and intrinsic motivations.
- We believe in continuous improvement and invest in professional development.
- We pay attention to outcomes – clinically, professionally, financially.
- We value a positive attitude and bring our ‘best selves to work’.
We are not trying to be all things to all people.
We understand that what we offer is reflective of our values and biases. It is all about sourcing people for whom there is a mutual capacity to meet expectations.
We must be doing something right!
Our average length of tenure for those who join our team is 5-7yrs. We have a few people who have been with us for more than 10yrs.
Available positions:
We cater for both full-time and part-time arrangements, with a choice of either a contractor or an employee option. We are currently positioned to take on either an early career or more senior psychologist. The primary focus for us will be the ‘goodness of fit’ with respect to our culture and values.

We believe that our collegial association advances rather than detracts from us as individuals.
