At Omega Mind Clinic, we are firm believers in being guided by the patient’s specific wants and needs. We work in partnership with family and carers where appropriate, to reach the best health outcomes, together.
We use a ‘biopsychosocial model’ to help identify and diagnose patients’ conditions, which involves a holistic view of physical, mental social, cultural and spiritual context that influence our health and wellbeing. This method has proven success in better understanding a patient’s condition and unique treatment needs.
Our entire team prides itself on spending time with our patients, to really ‘get to know’ a patient before developing a personalised treatment plan, which is especially important for new patients seeing a psychiatrist for the first time.
All our patients can be assured that their time and financial investment in their health will be well spent, without a rushed diagnosis or treatment plan.

Hello, I’m Bec. I am a mother of 3 teenage children who have ADHD. I also have ADHD, so I ‘speak’ ADHD fluently. Years of lived experiences have seen me, initially, have to confront and then navigate that fear and sense of the unknown when my 7-year-old son was initially diagnosed a decade ago. Learning how to advocate for my children whilst teaching them their strengths in both Primary and High School wasn’t always easy. However, my skills have seen them successfully transition from the structure of school life, and the problems of the playground, to the freedom of University and the workplace. Having struggled through numerous medical appointments, without our ADHD Medical Professionals having the time to offer any practical day-today help, I believe ADHD Life Coaching is the missing link this community desperately needs. After owning and successfully operating a number of Wellness businesses, I decided to undertake formal studies to become an ADHD Coach. I believe every client can reach their potential to succeed given the right tools, strategies, and systems. I am in a position to offer that bridge and would be honored to work with you.
