ROLE OVERVIEW

Evidence-based therapy - reimagined through nature, animals, and creative experience.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with a leading provider of mental health services in the bayside area of Brighton East, Melbourne. As a psychologist at 4thought Psychology, you will play a vital role in supporting the wellbeing and personal growth of a diverse client base across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, families and couples. We look forward to welcoming you into our vibrant and collaborative team.

At 4thought Educational Psychology, we blend nature, animals, and creative workshops to deliver experiential, evidence-based therapy for children, adults, and families. In a space where veggie patches flourish, creativity sparks growth, and bunnies teach trust and soften hearts, we support our clients to reconnect, regulate, and reimagine what’s possible.

You will be part of a neurodiversity-affirming practice that supports clients through both therapeutic and assessment journeys, helping individuals and families thrive across life, education and community settings. Our team includes attachment and trauma specialists, with a strong foundation of over 30 years of collective training in EMDR, emotional and physical trauma, early childhood development, and women’s and men’s health.
