Relationship Therapist (Couples and/or Trauma) | Independent Contractor
Life in Colour: Counselling and Wellbeing – Springwood QLD
Help us build one of Queensland's leading relationship therapy clinics.
At
Life in Colour
, we believe better relationships create better lives.
We are an emerging, boutique relationship therapy clinic in Springwood, Logan dedicated to helping couples and individuals build stronger, healthier and more connected relationships. Our work is grounded in evidence-based practice, but just as importantly, in warmth, compassion and genuine human connection.
We believe relationships are shaped by our attachment histories, our nervous systems, our neurology, our experiences of trauma, our capacity for intimacy, and the ways we've learned to protect ourselves. We don't just teach communication skills, we help people understand themselves, so they can relate to each other differently.
We're looking for a person-centred, relational therapist to join our growing practice as an independent contractor. This role will suit someone whose passion is couples work, trauma therapy, or ideally, the integration of both.
About the role
You'll have the opportunity to build a caseload of motivated clients while working alongside a practice committed to clinical excellence, collaboration and exceptional client care.
As an independent contractor, you'll enjoy the flexibility to manage your own diary while benefitting from a supportive practice with established referral pathways, administration and marketing support. We're intentionally building a boutique clinic rather than a high-volume practice and our goal is to build a culture where our staff genuinely love coming to work.
We are particularly interested in clinicians with experience or advanced training in one or more of the following areas:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Imago or PACT also considered




EMDR or other evidence-based trauma therapies
Attachment-informed therapy or parts work
Sex therapy or intimacy work
