Psychological Perspective is a busy, independent practice based in the City of London, and we have an exciting opportunity to join us in a Clinical Associate role, providing 1:1 psychological assessment and treatment with clients presenting with a range of common mental health difficulties including anxiety disorders, depression, sleep disorders, low confidence, relationship difficulties, stress and burnout. The right person will join this supportive, encouraging and friendly practice on a self-employed basis, so may be looking to enter the world of private practice alongside their existing clinical role. You will be free to set your schedule to suit your preferred working days and hours for clients, making this a great opportunity to extend your experience into the private sector without having to forgo your career within the NHS. We welcome applications from outside of the London area as the role entails only remote working.

Company and Benefits

I founded Psychological Perspective in February 2021, driven by the desire to thrive professionally whilst maintaining a work-life balance. Clinically I value an integrative approach to psychological therapy and utilise CBT and CFT in my clinical practice, and welcome applicants who value CBT, CFT, ACT and additional Third Wave Therapies, not forgetting the worth of existential and humanistic perspectives. This opportunity is open to skilled practitioners across the UK as the practice’s clinical work continues to be delivered via Zoom, Teams, Skype etc. You would work with an adult client group aged18 onwards, and we are privileged to meet clients who bring a rich diversity of background and life experience. Unlike some psychology roles, you will not be pushed to take on more than you can handle and as a team we will try our best to meet your needs. This busy practice is backed up by an experienced and efficient support team, and once you join we will provide you with administrative support. A proportion of our work is funded via private medical insurance and we have plenty of experience in liaison, report-writing and billing. You will earn £75-85 per appointment.

Application Instructions
