Expressions of Interest: Clinical Psychologist / Clinical Psychology Registrar

Who are we?

The mission of Canopy Clinical Psychology is to use our knowledge of evidence-based psychological interventions to help people move towards improved health, vitality, and valued life goals. Canopy is committed to advancing the field of Clinical Psychology through effective clinical practice, educational training, and meaningful research.

At Canopy, we take a transdiagnostic view of therapy. This means we work with many different forms of psychological distress (such as depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, sleep problems, chronic pain and more). We understand that difficulties often overlap, and we are committed to working with the whole person.

Canopy Clinical Psychology is part of the Clinical Integration Services (CIS) Group; a private medical specialist group providing cardiac and vascular diagnostic imaging and clinical services (Cardio Vascular Services - CVS) together with sleep and respiratory services (Cardio Respiratory Sleep - CRS) and cardio-metabolic medicine (Cardio Metabolic Services – CMS). Our goal is to provide a comprehensive integrated centre for patient care; viewing the patient as a whole, not a sum of systems.

Canopy Clinical Psychology operates from two locations: Murdoch and Nedlands. Both locations have large, beautiful consultation rooms with natural light and a comfortable environment for both clinician and clients.

Reason for Role

• We are looking to add to our team of Clinical Psychologists, allowing greater access and availability to mental health services within our community.
• Demand for a quality clinical psychology service is growing, and therefore we are looking for passionate, like-minded individuals to join our team.

2. Within a multidisciplinary and professional team context, provide clinical and educational psychology services to patients, couples, families, groups and other professionals; performing psychological assessments to appraise cognitive, emotional, behavioural and family functioning, i.e., interviews, behavioural observations, psychometric and psycho-diagnostic assessment.
3. Actively participate and assist with clinical research opportunities, within the wider CIS Group; in terms of recruitment, study management (where appropriate) and clinical applications.
4. Participates in multidisciplinary team meetings in which clinical management and intervention planning decisions are made.
5. Provides education and training on psychological matters within the discipline and across disciplines, including (but not limited to); department meetings, educational sessions and training material.
