Our Philosophy
Positive Outlookâs philosophy is based on the concepts of positive psychology. We recognise that it is important for each individual to experience the ups and downs of life. Our aim is to help our clients to feel grounded and connected, and to assist them to learn how to find balance in their lives.
We also recognise that diversity is a source of richness for communities. Our values are built on an acceptance of, and respect for, the values of others.
We believe in the power of the mind and treating the whole person. Our mind is a connection between our brain’s capacity, our thoughts and feelings, and our individual spirituality and beliefs. Wellness is a consequence of the balance in the relationship between these systems.
We care about people, and believe in the virtues as described in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We believe in equity of opportunity, and enhancing the chance of those most disadvantaged to enjoy the opportunity available to others.
We care about our planet, and are committed to environmental sustainability.
Our logo is symbolic of a dragonfly. The arrival of the dragonfly signifies a change in seasons to top end Aboriginal people. To some Aboriginal people they also represent a totem that chases away anxieties. Positive Outlook works with clients to create positive change within people to enhance their wellbeing.
Our Practice
Our practice is built on the notions of care and support within a professional environment.
We apply professional practice management standards and code of ethics of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).
We work closely with General Practitioners and other health care providers to build a collaborative approach to enhance individual wellbeing.
Telehealth Options Available
In the interest of safety of all our valued clients and staff, telehealth options (telephone or video) continue to be available and encouraged for vulnerable clients, and those with cold or flu symptoms.
Clients do not need to have any specific software. For video conferencing they can use a computer, tablet/ipad or mobile phone.
We have found that clients adapt to this environment very quickly, and it has proven to be an effective alternative.
