Narthanya Psychology
Our practice principles and what we stand for
The practice principles of Narthanya Psychology are based on the personal and professional values of our psychologists. Our approach to our clinical practise is to improve the accessibility, sustainability and acceptance of psychological services within our community. We personally believe that every individual could potentially benefit from seeing a psychologist, and that it should be normalised.
We take a holistic approach to psychological therapy and assessment. We like to consider the potential influence of all the different areas of a person’s life. This often includes childhood development and history, personal and family relationships, mental health and wellbeing, physical health, stressors related to work and study, personal strengths and what’s working well, and your links and interactions with your local community and broader society.
Some of our most meaningful values — which we have committed to uphold and encourage across our therapeutic practise — are:
- Effectiveness and best practice
- Respect and understanding
- Compassion and empathy
- Acceptance and inclusivity
- Accountability and responsiveness
- Professionalism and ethics
We live in a diverse society, and as such we are committed to cultural inclusiveness and social justice. We engage interpreters to ensure equal care of all people, and are always willing to be flexible and accommodating.
In the spirit of reconciliation Brenton and Jess acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we live and work, the Turrbal and Jagera peoples. We recognise the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the original carers of Country and community, and pay our respects to Elders past and present.
