Location: Creswick VIC, 20 minutes from Ballarat

We know most therapists don't leave jobs because of clients. They leave because they're overworked, unseen, feel like nobody is holding them, while they held everyone else.

Bloom Well-being is a trauma-focused, neuro-affirming practice with sites in Creswick VIC and Capalaba QLD. Over five years, we've built around a few key ideas: therapists do their best work when they are supported, and connected. Demand for our services keep growing, so we're looking for another therapist to join us. Ideally that's someone working four days or full time, but if part time suits your life better, we'd still love to hear from you.

The work

Our clients are people of all life stages; adults, adolescents, children, families and couples, living with complex trauma. That includes survivors of sexual violence and family/domestic violence, long-term childhood trauma, attachment wounds, and dissociation. Many of our clients are neurodivergent and/or queer, and many have tried therapy before and felt it wasn't built for them. Your caseload would be shaped around the clients you like to work with and want to grow with.
