Brisbane Wellbeing Psychology Clinics
In mid 2017 we established Brisbane Wellbeing Clinic on Edward St in Brisbane CBD. I wanted to create an environment that was different to traditional mental health services so spent a lot of time and resources creating a design and fitting out an enormous blank floor in the historic Rowes Arcade building (like all my projects starting with a pinterest board!). It was certainly a huge undertaking and many moments of exhaustion and a few tears and the clinic is now 4 and a bit years established. Our city clinic is the largest with 8 consulting rooms. We have a beautiful team of therapists and support staff and many hundreds (if not thousands) of people have walked through our doors.
In early 2021 we added Ashgrove clinic - a cute 1950s cottage on Ashgrove Avenue with three consulting rooms. This was a particularly difficult time for me as we were trying to fit it out the week my dad passed away from Motor Neurone Disease. Both clinics have had a lot of love and energy put into them and their environments and I hope have become very nurturing caring spaces. I will miss working from my lovely room at Ashgrove when I finish seeing clients next week (end of Nov 2021) to pursue art more fully. At the bottom on the gallery you can see some “in progress” images. Will never forget the enormity of buying and bringing up in the lift at Rowes more than 20 lounges and chairs… The murals of from Castaways Beach Sunshine Coast (another project I will have to add at some stage) and the jacarandas at UQ.
