We have current opportunities for Psychologists, Counsellors, Psychotherapists, Social Workers and Sex Therapists who would like to grow their private practice.

At The Hart Centre, we are passionate about connecting clients with high quality therapy services, with a strong focus on therapeutic fit. We offer individual and couples counselling sessions, with a wide range of therapeutic approaches and counselling types for clients to choose from. 

With a legacy spanning two decades, established by psychologist Julie Hart, we have grown to be a pillar of support for 200+ Therapists across Australia. Integrity, fairness and continuous improvement are at the forefront of our values, and we are proud to have booked over 85,000 appointments for our therapists and continue to experience year-on-year growth.

Our mission is to be the most highly regarded and comprehensive counselling service in Australia, by partnering with mental health professionals to match them with clients whose needs align with their expertise and experience.

How it works:

The Hart Associate Program operates as a sub-contractor model.

We source, book and onboard new clients for therapists in our network, taking away the stress of marketing and booking processes, and providing protection against bad quality clients.

We work with you to determine your unique point of difference, the clients you most like to work with, and the ones you don't, so we can promote you to our new client enquiries.

What We Look For in our Associates:

• Genuine Care: Passionate about couples or individual work, whether it’s your exclusive focus or in addition to your practice. You are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for clients to heal.
• Client-Centred Approach: Aspire to free up your time and energy to help people, rather than being bogged down in marketing and administration.
• Looking For Growth: Either as part of a group practice, or as an individual in private practice.
• Experience: 2+ years supporting clients in a variety of therapeutic approaches and counselling types (including couples/realationships)
• Collaborative Partnership: Desire to expand your client base with us as your main client referrer, with new bookings made directly into your calendar on an ongoing basis.

• Practice Flexibility and Choice: Set your own work days and appointment times, with full control over your practice hours and holidays. Choose the various types of counselling and therapeutic approaches you'd like to offer.

We hold annual conferences on timely topics which are presented by world-class speakers, providing a great opportunity to collaborate with others in the network.
