Job Description
Psychologist or Counsellor animal assisted therapy clinic
n
Come and do therapy a little differently.
n
If you love the idea of working in an setting where therapy can extend beyond four walls...
n
and the occasional cat wondering into session then we should talk.
n
We offer evidence based practice in an animal friendly setting.
n
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.
n
And yes... there are horses, cats, guinea pigs, rats, birds and plenty of furry personality around here.
n
You'll have the opportunity to:
n
Start 1-2 days per week, selected from Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - with room to expand.
n
Join an established clinic with existing referral pathways
n
A caseload with a strong focus on children and adolescents (many who are neurodivergent)
n
Work independently while still being part of a supportive, approachable team
n
Practise in comfortable consulting rooms without the corporate-clinic feel
n
Incorporate animals, outdoor spaces and experiential approaches into therapy where clinically appropriate and within your skills and interests
n
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:
n
An AHPRA Registered (or Provisionally) Psychologist, or
n
A PACFA-registered Counsellor
n
We're looking for someone who values strong, evidence-based clinical work, enjoys collaboration, and genuinely wants to become part of the team.
n
Interested?
n
We would love to hear from you.
