Join Our Team
KlearMinds is a friendly, established (2008), private integrative psychotherapy and coaching organisation with a reputation for providing a high quality service. We are seeking experienced, integrative couples psychotherapists to join our team.
Your working day is similar to that of a consultant in private practice. The difference is, you don’t have to pay for rooms or marketing or worry about filling appointments. We do all this for you. If you simply want to enjoy seeing clients, under the umbrella of a supportive service, free from the stresses involved in promoting and generating referrals, our service may be a good fit for you.
