October 2022 – Registered or Provisional Psychologist – Part Time

We want to add to our psychology family! I’m really biased about this place being a great to work in (I did open it after all), so I sought out feedback from someone whose opinion I really do trust – my 3.5-year-old daughter. She says:

“I love mummy’s office. It smells nice. I enjoy sitting in her big chair and scribbling on her desk, although mummy likes me to do this on paper” *

So you can’t really say much more than that, but if I had to – see below! Send me an email at [email protected] if you want to chat. 

Who are we?

Happy Minds Psychology – Fertility, Perinatal & Parenting Psychology www.happyminds.net.au 

We have been busy supporting women and their families with their mental health in the Bellarine, Surf Coast and Geelong region for over four years now. At the core of what we do is the idea that families matter – whether that’s trying to start one, being in one or running one! 

All our clinicians hold specialist training in areas such as fertility, perinatal psychology and parenting. While all our styles and approaches vary, we have a similar interest in bringing the community into our practice and finding ways to enrich the lives of the families we work with.  

We’ve spent the last year getting the clinic humming along nicely and are now at a point where we really want to bring on another clinician who has their own interests and personality that they can share with our families. 

Why would working with us be awesome?

We want you to be healthy and well. Beyond being a psychologist or provisional psychologist, we want our team to feel like their work contributes to their wellbeing, and that their wellbeing is critically important. How does that look? We are constantly looking for ways to support your wellbeing as a practitioner – whether that is providing you with a welcome box complete with self-care resources, making you part of our small (but very sweet team) or providing training to help you keep growing and developing. At the heart of this is working alongside practitioners who know what burn out looks like and want to help you avoid that at all costs! 

If you are the kind of person who enjoys coming up with your own idea and executing it, we’re there with you to help make it real. If you want to work somewhere where your feedback leads to actual change, we got you! Our general rule of thumb – if it is financially viable AND something you are passionate about, we can do it. 

We want to pay you a good rate. If you want to chat about $$$’s, I’ll be happy to be transparent with you (why would you apply for a job and not know how much it pays?!)

We believe all psychologists are awesome – we charge clients the same amount to see a psychologist, no matter what “kind” you are. And it works. Client’s value all of us the same because we value each other the same, and no one is asking to see one psychologist over another because of different fees/rebates.

We have the ability to provide internal or external board approved supervision. 

We don’t mind if you are a new graduate or old graduate – who you are REALLY MATTERS. Our team work closely with ach other and ar 

We appreciate the value that all people along their practice journey have to offer and will work with you to highlight your strengths and support you in areas of growth

I would love to talk to you if you think this sounds interesting.
