I love that at the Brisbane ACT Centre, there is a shared philosophy between clients and therapists that is very empowering.   I get to help clients work out the ways in which they have gotten stuck or narrowed, and actions they can take to have a richer life.  It is less about labelling, diagnosing or treating.  It is more about finding a shared understanding of the problem and teaching skills that are helpful in the long term.   I find this work very creative and energising, and being with like-minded supportive health professionals makes it even more so.

Rob and the team have created a wonderful environment for any practitioner to work in: the learning and development opportunities, number of referrals, administration support, rooms and location are all excellent. I appreciated my time here greatly and I highly recommend the Brisbane ACT Centre to fellow practitioners.

Brisbane ACT Centre was created to provide a nurturing community for private ACT therapists of all disciplines, helping their clients grow psychological flexibility and vital lives while doing the same for our practitioners. A core value is to support our practitioners in the many challenges of private practice including marketing, clinical isolation, administrative stress, and ongoing professional development. The science and compassion of psychological flexibility and valued action support all our initiatives, toward steady and sustained personal and professional growth. We are becoming well known as Queensland’s Centre of ACT expertise in the Brisbane healthcare community, come join our team!

I truly enjoyed my experience at the Brisbane ACT Centre. The team were so warm and welcoming and the service standards are of a high quality. But most importantly they care about their people and they care about the clients. I do miss the centre and hopefully in the next year will return.

I joined the Brisbane ACT Centre in January 2014 and thoroughly enjoy working here. There is a wonderful collegial atmosphere and absolute generosity with resources.  The centre engages actively in marketing and has been effective at ensuring a steady flow of referrals.  Both receptionists are lovely and work tirelessly to confirm appointments and manage the waiting list. I have no hesitation in recommending the Brisbane ACT Centre as a great place to work.

The highlights of  my time working at the Brisbane ACT centre were Rob’s enormous enthusiasm for the ACT model and his tireless support of providing the latest research and articles to all the team; the incredibly supportive reception and admin team and the sense of working with a group of colleagues who share a framework and professional vision for delivering therapeutic counselling and support from a Values rich ACT perspective. I hope to maintain a relationship with the team and to work at the Centre again in the future.

My experience of being a private practice Psychologist is that with the independence comes a sense of isolation, even with the regular peer supervision and other PD.  When I started working at the Brisbane ACT Centre, it brought me in direct contact with like-minded therapists who work from this empowering, Client-focused perspective.  I love being part of this community whilst still maintaining my level of independence.  Having regular meetings, the ability to speak with someone in the corridor, or flick someone an email gives me a great sense of support and connectedness.  I feel grateful to the Brisbane ACT Centre for helping me grow as a therapist, for helping Clients find me, and for supporting me in helping my Clients.

Working at BAC was a positive experience that I would recommend. I particularly enjoyed the monthly peer supervision opportunity, the support from a great front office team, and the sense of united purpose amongst the team of ACT therapists.
