Come and Have a Conversation
General Psychologist | Clinical Psychologist | Clinical Psychology Registrar

Blue Gum Centre for Psychology and Psychotherapy was established nine years ago and has built a reputation for providing excellent care for a diverse range of people by our highly regarded team of clinicians. We have solid relationships with our many referrers and our diaries are consistently full. We are ready to welcome another psychologist to our team, ideally someone looking for 1-3 days per week in our Croydon practice.

In brief, we offer:

Remuneration that reflects experience and expertise

Established practice and team

Purposefully homely and non-corporate environment

Ongoing supervision

Administrative support

Ample referrals

Excellent clinical governance

A culture of peer support, ongoing learning and being a part of a values-led business.

Are we the right fit for you?

Our shared purpose is to provide thoughtful, high-quality psychological care to a genuinely diverse group of people — across income levels, presentations, ages and life circumstances. We want to make ourselves broadly accessible, including those who can’t traditionally access private practice.

Our clients are adolescents and adults who are seeking therapy for wide ranging clinical problems, life difficulties and personal concerns. We also provide therapeutic assessment of neurodiversity for adults.

Clinic administration and processes are all designed to be containing, therapeutic and ethical. All client intake is conducted by the principal psychologist to ensure referrals are appropriate and well matched according to the clinicians’ skills, caseload and needs at the time. Nobody is thrown in the deep end or left to struggle alone.

As a psychologist at our practice, you’ll have autonomy over your caseload, work hours and therapeutic approach.



You’ll have fortnightly individual supervision while you settle in followed by monthly supervision once you’re established. We will get to know you and attend the particular things that sustain you in private practice. You will be met with flexibility; there is no one-size-fits-all for the way we support our clients or clinicians. There are regular opportunities for connection and learning with social events and online meet-ups focused on particular learning needs. Our 2027 professional development calendar involves a deep dive into learning contextual schema therapy.

This role is Ideal for:

An experienced psychologist looking for a comfortable collegial practice where they can focus on client work rather than running the administrative side of a solo practice

A psychologist working in public services who want to branch out into private practice and be supported to make this transition

A Clinical Psychology Registrar with an established interest in ACT or Schema Therapy who wants to develop their clinical skills within an established private practice, with an experienced clinical and counselling psychologist and board-approved supervisor.

Katie started her career as a 4+2 psychologist in rural mental health, on returning to Melbourne she worked in research and embarked on a DPsych (Counselling). A placement at Spectrum (Statewide personality disorder service) turned into ten years spent learning from her clients and colleagues what it meant to be a psychotherapist and how to sit with deep pain in another. Here she was able to contribute to the development of an ACT based therapy for BPD called Wise Choices. After having children the 9-5 and other rigidities of organisations no longer worked and she began private practice. Developing the Blue Gum Centre has allowed her to create the kind of place where she wants to work (no KPIs or corporate culture in sight!). Supervised by authorities in ACT and Contextual Schema Therapy her current professional quest is to become an endorsed Schema Therapist and spread the word about Contextual Schema Therapy.
