Touchstone Counselling & Supervision is a growing private practice with an office in The Gap, Brisbane. We provide in person and online trauma-informed mental health care for adults, couples and families.

We are seeking Registered Psychologists and/or Accredited Mental Health Social Workers to join our professional team. Our ideal candidate is passionate about helping people recover from the effects of trauma while also supporting stronger mental health, relationships, confidence, functioning and quality of life.

Our clients may be living with childhood adversity, complex trauma, single-incident trauma, abuse, workplace psychological injury, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties or neurodivergence. Some clients come specifically to address trauma; others want to feel better, function better, improve their relationships or regain a sense of stability and direction.

We use Focussed Psychological Strategies and other evidence-based therapies to help clients make meaningful, sustainable change. We are looking for clinicians who combine sound clinical reasoning and evidence-based strategies with the capacity to build safe, respectful and effective therapeutic relationships.

Why Join Touchstone? Touchstone offers the benefits of private practice without the burden of building it alone. You will be part of a supportive clinical community while retaining flexibility in how you structure your work.

The Role -  You will provide Focussed Psychological Strategies and other evidence-based therapies to adults, couples and families, in person in our office in The Gap, and via telehealth.

Your work will include clinical assessment, case formulation, treatment planning, therapeutic intervention, session documentation, reporting and professional communication with referrers and relevant third-party stakeholders. You will provide medium- to long-term therapy that supports stabilisation, improved mental health and functioning, stronger relationships and meaningful progress toward each client’s goals. Where appropriate, you will help clients address the effects of trauma using evidence based strategies, while ensuring therapy remains guided by the client’s needs, readiness and priorities. You will work with care, consistency and professional accountability, contributing to a practice known for high-quality clinical work, respectful therapeutic relationships and meaningful outcomes.

The Kind of Clinician Who Thrives at Touchstone -  You are motivated by making a genuine difference in people’s lives. You understand that meaningful outcomes are supported by a safe, consistent and boundaried therapeutic relationship. You are able to hear and work respectfully with difficult experiences, including complex trauma and respond with compassion and evidence-based strategies that foster autonomy, confidence and sustainable change. You value reflective practice, are open to feedback and are eager to continue developing your clinical knowledge and skills. You are reliable, organised and take pride in high-quality care, documentation and communication.
