" About – The Mind Collective

Approach

The Mind Collective is a collaborative and family-inclusive practice, encouraging communication (where appropriate) between family members, schools, partners, parents and young people. We believe optimal outcomes are best achieved when people work together, which may include liaising with other professionals involved in client’s care.

Values

The team at The Mind Collective believe that everyone is different. Every individual brings differing perspectives, experiences, preferences, needs and values to the therapeutic relationship.

At The Mind Collective we endeavour to balance each individual’s needs with our knowledge of evidence-based interventions to tailor appropriate therapy to each specific client’s needs.

The Mind Collective utilises a collaborative, non-judgemental and strengths-based approach to engaging clients and provides a friendly, safe, warm and respectful environment for clients to discuss, explore, understand and problem solve difficulties
