The importance of having a supportive work environment
As psychologists we take care of the wellbeing and mental health of each client that engages in therapy with us. At Excel Psychology, we provide a peaceful and calm environment, which reflects the essence of our practice. One of the key elements that is part of the calm nature of our clinic is that as a team we care for each other. We work collaboratively and we make sure that each of us is comfortable and safe. This means that as professionals we have all the support and resources, but as individuals, our team is available to comfort and care when personal issues arise.
