Our Mission

We are dedicated to providing exceptional mental health services for clients & clinicians

The Hummingbird Centre is dedicated to providing exceptional mental health services for clients and clinicians. We recognise that our clients come from diverse backgrounds, cultures and walks of life and that the road to empowerment requires an individual approach. That’s why our centre is committed to finding innovative, evidence-based ways to provide high quality service to our clients and increase the diversity of our offerings.

We also celebrate the uniqueness of our compassionate clinical team, and support them as they continually grow and learn in their personal journeys as healers. To achieve this, we regularly collaborate with industry leaders to offer high quality training in new therapy approaches and assessment tools through the Hummingbird Professional Development Network. Through considerately merging innovation, knowledge, and wisdom, we believe we can continue to improve all aspects of mental health.

We endeavour to provide you with an experience that is empowering

Therapy

We offer warm compassionate client-based therapies with a strong evidence base to meet the individual needs of our clients. We welcome children and adults.

Assessments

Using gold standard assessment tools and clinical observations, our clinicians can assist you with a formal diagnosis and provide guidance for reaching full potential.

Psychiatry

We offer warm compassionate client-based therapies with a strong evidence base to meet the individual needs of our clients. We welcome children and adults.

Our Values

We believe our brand values of integrity, innovation, leadership and wisdom are best represented by the hummingbird, which symbolises courage, love, joy, endurance, infinite possibilities, and healing from negativity.

This unique bird reminds us to let our true colours shine, and that life’s sweetest nectar comes from within.

Events & Courses

Providing professional development opportunities for clinicians to encourage collaboration and support

The Hummingbird Professional Development Network offers  clinician training courses that deepen their knowledge, skills and confidence as empowered healers, which in turn improves mental health services to our community.

Our training programs consider the latest empirical findings from neuroscience, attachment and trauma research as well as the needs of our clinicians, clients and community. Each course is developed in line with our guiding principles that knowledge is furthered by considerately integrating innovation, empirical evidence and clinical wisdom.
