Psychology Clinic

Our psychology clinic has been the cornerstone of our services since Mindspace was founded in 2011, and boasts a diverse, experienced team of PhD-level psychologists.

Our practical approach to therapy aims for measurable results in a brief timeframe. Your psychologist will work with you to develop a personalized and structured therapy program, combining techniques from science-based approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotion-Focused therapy (EFT).

We’ll equip you with tools and strategies for managing difficult thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. With your new toolkit, you’ll be able to focus your attention on what really counts: achieving your goals and living according to your values in the long run.
