Get to Know Us
Our Origin Story
Dr Sacha Rombouts founded Happy Minds Australia in 2013 to provide exceptional psychological services and products to people seeking positive changes in their world. The aim was to take a step away from deficit-focused thinking and embrace a strengths-based approach that was engaging and client-centred.
Our Mission
At Happy Minds, we are passionate about helping people of all ages to learn the skills to face life’s challenges and to thrive with purpose and fulfilment. We would like to change the way that people view their world. Our vision is that Happy Minds is a place that anyone can come to and feel respected and valued. The Happy Minds psychology practice is comprised of highly skilled professionals and provides a welcoming environment that is friendly, safe and inclusive. Our approach to our jobs is to have fun and be optimistic in the process of helping people to transform their lives.
Our Values
At Happy Minds we are guided by the following values:
Kindness
First and foremost, our role is to help people. We believe that kindness and compassion are essential to helping people become self aware, overcome life’s challenges, and to grow and flourish.
Joy
Happy Minds is a dynamic and fun environment for growth. Our team are friendly, approachable and, most importantly, joyous and positive people.
Honesty
In order to build trusting, positive relationships, honesty is vital. We are a strong and generous team at Happy Minds and seek to maintain honest and transparent practices in all aspects of our work.
Respect
We understand that there are often stigmas surrounding mental health issues. We believe in treating every person with respect, humanity and to approach our work with an attitude of non-judgmental curiosity.
Connection
We hope to nurture meaningful and fulfilling relationships amongst individuals, couples, families, their schools and communities. Meaningful connections bring more sustainable resources and outcomes.
Flexibility
We tailor our approach to your individual needs and goals. We focus on the whole person (not just the problems) and are able to think creatively and innovatively in our work.
