A recap of our first Envision… Feb 2020
The life-changing weekend you need, led by Australia’s leader in transformational therapy.
More than 1 in 5 Australians will experience mental health issues at some point in their lives.
At Mindset Consulting, we see patients who have come to accept stress and anxiety as a ‘normal’ part of everyday life. If left untreated, these problems can spiral into destructive behaviours that impact your emotional and physical wellbeing, often spilling over to other aspects that hinder you from realising your full potential.
In combination with our recent events, many high functioning, time poor individuals struggle with the shakeup of routine, building intimacy with loved ones and just slowing down.
This retreat is designed to provide you with the skills needed to tackle stressors of everyday life as well as traumas across all situations. You will walk away with knowledge and proven techniques, which in conjunction with the immersive nature of the program, allows you to gain a deeper awareness into current issues that may be consuming your psychological wellbeing.
Whether you’re a top performing executive, stay at home mum or somewhere in between, Envision will equip you with the tools you need to perform at your highest level and navigate life after lockdown.

Who Leads ENVISION?
Dr Alegado is a leading expert in the psychology field with more than 10+ years of clinical experience spanning across New Zealand and Australia. She specialises in Schema, CBT & ACT therapies across both public health and private sectors. Her diverse portfolio include clinical work within private practices expanding to the corporate markets, facilitating leadership seminars, executive coaching programmes and keynote presentations.
Throughout her extensive practice, she has seen many corporate individuals performing at high functioning, yet dysfunctional positions. It is through these exposures that Dr Alegado recognised a gap in the Australian market for a mental health programme which is both time-efficient (to suit a busy lifestyle) as well as psychologically effective. Her vision was to break the stigma that only extensive clinical treatments are effective by providing attendees with the tools to create immediate change for both the short and long-term goals.
Who Should Attend the ENVISION retreat?
Those who are:
Lost in getting back to basics:

Our recent period in self isolation has brought about a perspective shift to many. Some discovered new hobbies, a few others turned to means of self comfort and many struggled. However, one underlying theme that this pandemic has universally taught us is the need to bring us back to the basics. Rediscover how to get in touch with what truly matters and reconnect with what’s important in our lives on our Envision journey. Sometimes less really is more!
Feeling trapped and need to escape:

Quarantine, a word now synonymous with boredom, indoors and overeating. As humans, we are social creatures with a penchant to explore. That’s why something as trivial and even desired by many to remain at home proved to be one of the most exhausting and battling mind games we have ever had to play! It’s because one of our basic freedoms has been removed and that’s why we feel so trapped. Our need for a “holiday” is us regaining that power of movement, the autonomy to say where we go and when. Your envision retreat will guide you to refresh your mindset in order to live and enjoy everyday as if you were on a holiday.
Professionals and Small business owners:

Without a doubt, the year of 2020 has been the hardest for many across all aspects of our lives. One in particular is the economic and financial hit taken by professionals and especially, small business owners. Whilst larger corporations may have the resources to tide over through the pandemic, local businesses struggle to retain consumers and staff whilst expenses continue. Learn how to switch on your resilience and harness the tools needed to bring your mind and your business back to life.
