Our story
The Glow Centre is a private clinical psychology practice in Kenmore, in Brisbane’s western suburbs. Originally established as Melissa Kent Psychology in 2014 in Melbourne, the practice relocated to Brisbane in 2016. The practice grew steadily and in 2019, we became The Glow Centre. We felt that the change of name was a much better fit for the practice we had become - a team of warm, understanding clinicians committed to helping clients find their 'glow'. We have continued to maintain a reputation for excellence in clinical outcomes for our clients.
Our practice is tucked away upstairs in the Kenmore Medical Centre complex, offering you a calming and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of life.
Our team are caring and welcoming. We invite you to relax into the space whilst waiting for your clinician, with a selection of puzzle and colouring in books and a comforting cup of tea or coffee. Our rooms are warm and welcoming, furnished for comfort and confidentiality.

Our commitment to excellence in therapy
At The Glow Centre, we’re committed to creating and maintaining the optimal conditions for our clients to get the best possible outcomes during therapy. We have a number of processes involved in striving for excellence in clinical outcomes, including:
-
Clarifying each client’s goals for therapy and regularly reviewing them to ensure we are focusing on what the client wants to
-
Developing a shared understanding of the factors contributing to each client’s current problems and how they developed over time. We call this a “shared formulation”
-
Helping each client choose a therapy approach that is backed by scientific research, and feels right for the client
-
Supporting clients to take an active role in their treatment within and between sessions
-
Tracking clients’ progress over time to make sure they are improving
-
Creating a culture of feedback – encouraging clients to share if something is not working for them, if they would like us to do something differently, or if they are not improving as expected
-
Responding to feedback by discussing concerns and options for moving forward
-
Collaborating regularly with important others involved in each client’s life, such as partners, families, carers, other supports, and other professionals
-
Regular peer review and supervision.
