This Is My Story
The Vision Behind PriorMindset
​
Prior Mindset is more than a clinic, it’s a mission to close the gaps in mental health and family care. Inspired by the legal field’s pay-for-advice model, Prior Mindset offers immediate access to a Social Worker and CBT professional.
​
I believe early intervention and personalised care are the keys to lasting positive change.
Together, we can create a path toward resilience, empowerment, and hope for individuals, families, and organisations.
​
​
Gratitude and Hope
​
I’m deeply grateful to my colleagues and patients for inspiring me to establish Prior Mindset.
It is my privilege to support you on your journey toward resilience and well-being.
​
With warm wishes,
Jerri
