Our dedicated team of Psychologists and Psychiatrists is committed to supporting your mental well-being journey.

Whether you’re seeking guidance for managing stress, overcoming anxiety, or improving your overall mental health, we’re here to provide you with the guidance and care you deserve.
Our Story
Positive Mind Works has a compelling origin story rooted in the life of its founder, Samantha Spafford. A true native of Alice Springs NT, Samantha was born and raised amidst the unique landscapes and challenges of remote and rural Australia. It was here that she keenly observed a pressing need – the need for more accessible and effective counselling services.
Motivated by this realisation, Samantha embarked on a journey to bridge the gap in mental health support. She envisioned a platform that would transcend geographical boundaries and bring professional counselling within easy reach of everyone, regardless of their location. With unwavering determination, Samantha turned this vision into reality, and Positive Mind Works was born.
Leveraging cutting-edge technology, Positive Mind Works has shattered the barriers to accessing mental health support. Through a seamless online platform, it extends its services not only to remote regions of Australia but also to New Zealand and beyond. The impact of Samantha’s brainchild continues to ripple, touching the lives of individuals and communities far and wide.

What to expect from
online counselling
When you make an online counselling appointment at PMW, it is similar to meeting with a psychologist face-to-face, except your session will take place over video or call instead of in-person. This saves you time travelling to a physical clinic, and most people find that they prefer their sessions to take place within the privacy and comfort of their own home. To connect you with your chosen counsellor, we use an online, secure platform – which is specifically designed for health services.
Why Choose
Positive Mind Works?
Our team of highly experienced psychologists are carefully chosen and each has their own specialist skill sets, such as Educational Psychologists, Clinical Psychologists, and Health Psychologists. As a result, Positive Mind Works can offer a range of services focused on your exact area of need. We also speak several languages, including Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, Cantonese, Mandarin and Catalan.
Each member of our team is verified and registered with a national professional registration body, such as AHPRA (Australia), NZ Psych Board (New Zealand) or HCPC (UK). Furthermore, as we are a constantly growing team, we always aim to make sure that your chosen psychologist is the right fit for you and your individual needs. However, if you wish to change your therapist at any time, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Our values are:
- An emphasis on prevention and early intervention in order to minimise human suffering and loss.
- The importance of overcoming barriers experienced by individuals, companies and communities in accessing effective help at the right time.
- Potential of every human being to change and to continue learning throughout their lifespan.
- Strong relationships as the primary vehicle in helping others to learn new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.
- When it comes to the importance of wellbeing, make informed and guided decisions based on up to date evidence and science rather than passing fads or popular trends.
- Respect for diversity of individuals, their cultures, languages, lifestyles, identities, ideologies, intellectual capacities, personalities, and capabilities to expand our learning opportunities and understanding of global connections
- Respect for confidentiality and privacy, we understand your need for privacy ensuring that your personal information is secure and treated with the upmost respect. Online counselling gives you increased anonymity and security. Please see our privacy policy here for further information.
