You’re Ready for More — And You Know It

You’re a psychologist who’s put in the work. You’ve built strong foundations, sharpened your clinical instincts, and learned how to hold real therapeutic space. Now, you’re looking for:

• More autonomy

• More growth

• More support

• More meaning

Maybe you’re curious about private practice but haven’t found a place that feels safe to make the leap. Maybe you’re tired of systems that drain you more than they develop you.

You know you’re capable of more—and you want a workplace that sees that.

If that resonates, you’re exactly who we want to talk to.

Who You Are (and Who We’re Excited About)

You’re a generally registered psychologist or clinical psychologist/registrar with a few years of experience (around 3–6). You don’t need to arrive as the finished product—we don’t expect that. What matters is:

• You’re clinically thoughtful and curious

• You value evidence and human connection

• You’re hungry to learn, grow, and refine your clinical voice

• You want a team that feels like home—not competition

You’re ready to step into private practice with confidence, support, and a structure designed to help you thrive.
