Practitioners & Services

The Mental Fitness Movement is a group of health, safety and wellbeing professionals who support people and organisations to unlock their human potential and optimise wellbeing. We believe the world is messy and crazy, and that our human experiences of sadness, frustration, grief and struggle are a reasonable and normal response to the pressures many of us feel.

We offer a range of services to individuals and businesses which normalise and re-humanise what people experience at work and in life. Our purpose is to inspire, educate, empower and connect people through the practices of mental fitness, re-wiring our brains for better performance and quality of life.

Our services include:

• Public speaking at events, conferences and webinars
• Training programs and facilitated workshops covering our mental fitness toolkit
• Coaching, mentoring and counselling which empower individuals and small groups to put mental fitness tools into practice
• Workplace wellbeing policy development, strategy and measurement for addressing psychosocial hazards and risks
• Event hosting where we connect like-minded people, either face-to-face or via our online discussion groups

We love working with people and organisations who are ready to create meaningful change, so become part of the Movement and let’s change how we approach mental health together.

At Home Affordability Solutions (HAS), we pride ourselves on being Australia’s leading provider of innovative solutions for home buyers and investors.  Our mission is to make homeownership accessible, particularly for those who find the initial deposit a significant barrier.  We specialise in assisting individuals and families reestablishing themselves after life changes such as divorce or unforeseen circumstances.

Our Deposit Boost Solutions breaks down the funding process into three manageable components: a 2.5% personal deposit, a 17.5% HAS deposit boost, and an 80% first mortgage facility.  This approach allows our clients to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), making the journey to homeownership more affordable and attainable.

We partner with you, offering stability and support through a unique financial structure that includes three years of HAS repayments at a low rate in exchange for a share in the capital growth of the property.  This partnership approach ensures that you can secure a home for yourself and your family with confidence and ease.

At HAS, we are committed to helping you navigate the challenges of home buying, providing tailored solutions that foster a secure and stable environment for you and your loved ones.

Day one or One day. You Choose.

A Strategic Psychotherapist with a finance industry background, Bronwyn genuinely understands business pressures and the need for fast results.

Action-orientated and client-centric, Bronwyn’s approach supports you to shift from talking about your problem to making changes to solve it - and quickly.

Specialising in workplace anxiety, she provides short-term interventions for:

• Performance anxiety
• Urgency stress
• Conflict and boundaries
• Procrastination
• Goal setting and direction
• Low confidence

Utilising a powerful combination of Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnosis, the focus shifts from seeking to uncover ‘why’ a problem exists, to ‘how’ the problem presents itself.

This means there’s no need to delve into the past, or look for a ‘root cause’. Rather, all sessions have a firm focus on the future and are instigated by two simple questions:

Where are you now? and

Where do you want to be?

Bronwyn’s style works best with people who are supremely motivated to change; when they’ve had enough of their destructive thinking and behaviours and are willing to do the work.

Offered in 1:1 sessions either via zoom or in clinic, her interventions are designed to put you on the fast track to your best self.

Qualifications: BComm, DipClinHypStrPsych

At the core of our mission is a commitment to the well-being of you.

Success isn't a cookie-cutter concept. It's a thorough evaluation of your unique identity. We construct not just success but a space where every journey is personal, every voice resonates, and trauma-informed strategies empower individuals and businesses to thrive. I don't just lead; I inspire, envisioning a future where you and your organisation not only thrives but evolves into a beacon of excellence.

As advocates for mental health, we don't just integrate wellness strategies; we create environments where individuals flourish, and success is measured in smiles as much as in profits. My methodology is rooted in a holistic understanding of personal dynamics and biology.

It's fast, effective and long-lasting. I go beyond the conventional realms of strategy, delving into the intricacies of people, culture, and collaborative innovation. It's not just about plans; it's about creating a conducive healthy environment for sustainable success.
