The Northwest Psychology Practice was founded by Nicki Kemp in 2008. She started the practice in response to a growing need for quality psychological services in the Hills District of Sydney.
Her vision was to create the kind of psychology service that she would want to attend as a client - a practice with a strong emphasis on quality treatment but also a place where people are treated with respect and compassion.

She started as a solo practitioner and has gradually built a team of psychologists who share her vision. In 2013 the practice moved from smaller premises to its current location in Bella Vista.
