Our values

The values that drive everything we do

At Mindbuffs, our values are the cornerstone of our practice, guiding every interaction and decision. These values define us and direct our mission to deliver exceptional psychological care.

Authenticity

We believe that true happiness and confidence stem from embracing your genuine self and shaping your life in harmony with your unique personality, spirit, and character. Our mission is to assist you in gaining profound self-awareness, as we recognize that the cornerstone of your success lies in the authenticity of your identity. Embracing who you truly are is the key to genuine fulfillment, and we are dedicated to supporting you on this transformative journey.

Competition

At our core, we embrace the spirit of competition as a driving force for personal and collective growth. We firmly believe that life becomes richer and more meaningful when we challenge ourselves. Whether it's stepping out of your comfort zone during an outdoor adventure, surpassing your own limits, amplifying your business impact, or engaging in friendly match play on the golf course, competition fuels our spirit. Through struggle, heartache, and even failure, we find the strength to thrive, making our victories and the relationships forged along the way all the more cherished. Embracing competition, we discover our true potential and celebrate the journey of growth and achievement.

Growth Mindset

At Mindbuffs, we embrace a growth mindset, a commitment to leaning into discomfort and actively seeking new avenues of learning. From the intricacies of our delicate ecosystem to the depths of our most intimate relationships, we recognize that true growth thrives in the balance between order and chaos, nurturing both our well-being and progress. We firmly believe that complacency only leads to stagnation, while remaining open to perpetual growth enriches our lives, fueling our quest to continually enhance the aspects we invest our time and energy in. We are inherently designed to savour the ever-evolving tapestry of life.

Play

At Mindbuffs, we firmly believe that even therapy should encompass an element of playfulness. While we delve deep into the intricate workings of the most complex object in the world — our remarkable brains — we do so with a sense of joy, curiosity, and without fear. In our one-on-one sessions, we maintain a lighthearted approach, placing the relationship between client and therapist at the forefront. We understand that healing and growth are often most effective when grounded in an atmosphere of comfort, openness, and, yes, playfulness.

Education

In all our interactions, whether we are working with you one-on-one, in a group setting, or have the privilege of being a part of your team or work environment, we are deeply passionate about sharing knowledge. We thrive on educating people about the complexities of the human mind. When you collaborate with us, you'll gain insights into mastering your thoughts and emotions, harnessing your subconscious, and entering flow state. Our only request is that you pay it forward, sharing the knowledge you acquire with others.

Body Liberation and Weight Inclusivity

At Mindbuffs, we celebrate the diversity of body shapes and sizes. We firmly believe that one's health status should never be a reason for prejudice against their value as an individual. We advocate for body liberation and weight inclusivity, recognizing that true well-being comes from feeling confident in ourselves, embracing our bodies, and fostering positive self-images. Our mission is to support you in cultivating self-love and acceptance, fostering inclusivity in our communities, nurturing social connections, enhancing self-worth, and raising awareness about the harmful effects of toxic diet culture and weight-based oppression. Embracing every body, we empower individuals to thrive and find true contentment within themselves.
