I’m hiring, and I’d rather describe who I hope to meet than list a job.

You’re a clinical psychologist, early in your career or well-established, who gets quietly excited by working with complexity. When a patient’s inner critic turns up mid-session, you reach for another chair. You think a good formulation should explain a person rather than label them. You’d rather ask what a behaviour is protecting than how to stop it, and you’re equally comfortable being the newest voice in the room or the one the team brings their hardest case to.

I’m Dr Ozgur (Oz) Yalcin, Director of ANIMA Health Network. I teach Schema Therapy, Parts & Chairwork, & neurodiversity-affirming practice internationally, and I can’t stop sharing what I love. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 38, and I built ANIMA to be the kind of place I wish I’d had. Every day from 12 to 1 we put down our tools, eat together and swap bad jokes.

If that sounds like you, read on. If it sounds like someone you’ve trained, supervised or shared a case with, please send them this.
