Company Description Due North Psychology by Allie Mackay is dedicated to supporting individuals in reclaiming their sense of Self, health, and quality of life after traumatic events. The practice is grounded in the belief that people are not defined by what has happened to them and that healing from the past is possible. Therapeutic work focuses on helping clients realign with their “Due North,” or personal direction, through compassionate, evidence-based care.

The environment emphasizes safety, respect, and collaboration, inviting both clients and team members to engage in meaningful, growth-oriented work. Clinical team members are supported to grow as a person and explore their areas of interest while avoiding the isolation and administrative burden of solo practice. Steady referrals and calendar management including payment collection support are provided.

Role Description The Trauma Therapist will contract to provide mostly in office, (some telehealth) part time therapeutic services at Due North Psychology’s practice in Miranda, NSW. Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting comprehensive psychological assessments, delivering individual trauma-focused therapy, and developing tailored treatment plans for clients. The role involves maintaining accurate and timely clinical documentation, collaborating with colleagues and external providers as needed, and participating in case consultations.

The therapist will be comfortable to apply evidence-based trauma interventions,



support clients in building resilience and coping skills, and contribute to a compassionate, client-centered practice culture.
