Lacuna is a small Mayfield (Newcastle) based psychology clinic created and run by clinical psychologists. We provide therapy to the Newcastle community that is attachment and trauma focused. We created the clinic we would want to attend, both in terms of the therapy we provide and the warm and inviting space we created.
We are focused on providing a collaborative and comfortable space for clinical psychologists to socialise and nerd out about therapy as well. We spend time around our island bench drinking coffees and sitting outside in the sun on the patio during lunches together.
Are you the right fit for the role?
Do you love providing therapy to adults? Do you want to learn and grow in your therapy skills and understanding? Do you want a team around you dedicated to the same goals who can support you from both technical and emotional support perspective?
Do you like the idea of private practice without the isolation? Do you have a dedication to ongoing learning and development in psychotherapy skills? Comfortable helping people with your current skills and experience, but interested in learning and applying psychodynamic and attachment frameworks as you learn over time?
If you answered yes to most of these questions, then you are likely a perfect fit for the Lacuna team!
