Psychologist or Counsellor animal assisted therapy clinic
Come and do therapy a little differently.
If you love the idea of working in an environment where therapy can extend beyond four walls…
and the occasional cat wondering into session then we should talk.
We offer evidence based practice in an animal friendly setting.
We're a small, down-to-earth team who genuinely love what we do. Our clinic provides traditional clinic-based therapy alongside animal-assisted and outdoor therapeutic experiences, creating a relaxed, engaging environment where clients — particularly children, adolescents and neurodivergent clients — can often connect in ways they haven't been able to in more traditional settings.
And yes… there are horses, cats, guinea pigs, rats, birds and plenty of furry personality around here.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
Start 1-2 days per week, selected from Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - with room to expand.
Join an established clinic with existing referral pathways
A caseload with a solid focus on children and adolescents (many who are neurodivergent)
Work independently while still being part of a supportive, approachable team
Practise in comfortable consulting rooms without the corporate-clinic feel
Incorporate animals, outdoor spaces and experiential approaches into therapy where clinically appropriate and within your skills and interests
You absolutely do not need to be an animal-assisted therapist already. We can provide full training. You just need to love animals and be either:
An AHPRA Registered (or Provisionally) Psychologist, or
A PACFA-registered Counsellor
We’re looking for someone who values strong, evidence-based clinical work, enjoys collaboration, and genuinely wants to become part of the team.
Interested?
We would love to hear from you.
