Our Vision
We opened the doors of Alma Family Therapy Centre in March 1997 with the aim of creating a space for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers and medical family therapists to offer mental health services in a supported and team environment.
We set out to create a physical environment that offers a comfortable ambience where clients will feel welcome and comfortable. The centre is serviced by good public transport, has free street car parking available and is set in a peaceful garden.
Our Values
We believe in the rights of clients to access the therapy that they wish.
A key value behind the set up of Alma Family Therapy Centre was to provide a place in which individuals and/or different generations of a family would feel comfortable accessing support either individually or as a family.
