The Opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Counsellor who is passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-informed, client-centred care in a collaborative multidisciplinary environment.

Our existing clinical counselling services support individuals and couples navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, challenging emotions, self-esteem and confidence, relationship concerns, sleep, coping strategies, sport performance, and the intersection of mental and physical health.
We are particularly interested in clinicians who have a passion for working with active individuals, athletes, youth, performance, injury recovery, chronic pain, stress, or the mind-body connection, although applicants with other areas of clinical interest are welcome.
