About the job

Most psychologists are not struggling to find work right now.

They are struggling to find work that does not cost them something.

The admin that never ends. The isolation of working alone. The referrals that were promised but never quite materialised. The practice that felt supportive on paper but left them feeling like a contractor and nothing more.

After 30 years of working with people, including executives, business owners, and professionals under real pressure, I understand what it means to feel unsupported in your work. I also understand why so many experienced psychologists are cautious about expressions of interest.

The language in most listings sounds the same.

So let me be specific about what I am actually offering.

The Authentic Counsellors and Mediators is a growing private practice based in St Leonards and Narrabeen, with a genuine referral base, strong community connections, and real demand that continues to grow.

The clients who come to us are not referrals on a spreadsheet. They are couples who still want to reach each other but do not know how. Individuals who have been carrying too much for too long. Children and adolescents who need someone steady. Families navigating what feels too hard to manage alone. People facing life transitions who need support to find their footing again.





I am looking for a psychologist who wants to do that kind of work, supported by a practice that takes both clients and clinicians seriously.

What I am offering:

• Consistent client referrals from an active, established practice

• Flexible working arrangements, including working from home initially

• Full administrative support so the clinical work stays the focus

• Practice management software provided

• A practice culture that is warm, ethical, and genuinely human

• A competitive contractor arrangement, details available on enquiry

• Opportunity to help shape our multidisciplinary hub as it develops on the Lower North Shore and Northern Beaches

You will need current AHPRA registration, professional indemnity insurance, a current police check, and a working with children check.

Experience or a solid interest in couples therapy, child and adolescent work, family support, trauma, anxiety, or neurodiversity is particularly welcome.

If you are a psychologist who wants to do the work you trained for in a practice that values what you bring, I would genuinely like to connect.

Send me a message or email [Megan's email] with a brief introduction, your areas of clinical interest, and your availability.

Confidential enquiries are warmly welcome.
