Fortitude Wellbeing

Fortitude Wellbeing is a psychology and counselling clinic in Richmond led by principal psychologist, Melissa Bell. We are a down-to-earth, establishing private practice, with a dedication to helping people improve their mental health and wellbeing. At Fortitude Wellbeing we believe our mission is more likely to be realised when our people match and complement the unique personality of our private practice. Consequently, we are seeking staff who share our values and who have a desire to act in a way that mirrors these values. The majority of our clients seek independent therapeutic support. We have confidence in our people to bring appropriate skills to their areas of professional practice and work within the boundaries of their professional competence. We recognise our work is informed by an emerging evidence base and we strive for continuous improvement in both our knowledge base and skill sets. We are excited when our people are cheerful and content in the workplace, therefore we emphasise positive and open relationships by encouraging social interactions and teamwork. We wholeheartedly support team collaboration and empower our people to engage with external professional and personal networks. Fortitude Wellbeing values the needs of our people as much as the needs of our clients. We understand that developing our people and the practice at a healthy rate requires a balance of flexibility and stability, as well as brave, creative conversations. When contemplating our practice needs, we involve our people and consider how our decisions will affect them, adapting policies and processes as required.
