Job description

Clinical Psychologist – Permanent Part-Time

Actualise Psychology Pty Ltd – Sydney CBD NSW

Actualise Psychology is seeking an exceptional Clinical Psychologist to join our established Sydney CBD private practice and consultancy in a permanent part-time position.

This is a newly created role and an important appointment for our practice. We are looking for someone who wants more than simply a private-practice caseload - someone who values excellent clinical work, professional autonomy, thoughtful collaboration and the opportunity to become a significant long-term member of a growing practice.

The position will commence at 2 days per week, with the intention of progressively increasing toward 3 - 4 days per week over time, depending on the successful applicant's interests and availability.

For the right person, there is genuine scope for the role to develop beyond a clinical position into increasing involvement in the leadership and development of Actualise.

The role will primarily involve psychological assessment and therapy with an adult clinical population. Our clients present with a broad range of concerns, including anxiety and mood difficulties, trauma and attachment-related issues, adjustment and occupational difficulties, interpersonal and relationship concerns, and more complex psychological presentations.

You will progressively develop a private-practice caseload through a combination of established practice referral pathways and new referrals. The practice works with a substantial military and emergency services population, so experience with, or an interest in working with, these client groups would be advantageous. We're focused on quality and sustainability rather than maximising appointment numbers. The role is intended to provide appropriate capacity for clinical administration, professional development, consultation and thoughtful clinical practice. Depending on your background and interests, there may also be opportunities to contribute to organisational psychology and consulting work.

About us

Actualise Psychology is an established Sydney-based psychology consultancy and private practice, operating since 2016. Our work is grounded in a belief in unearthing human potential and cultivating psychological robustness. We work with individuals, couples and organisations across a broad spectrum of psychological functioning - from the treatment of mental ill-health and support through challenging life circumstances, through to enhancing performance, leadership and potential. Our services span psychological assessment and intervention, individual and couples therapy, executive coaching and organisational consulting. Across our work, we emphasise evidence-informed psychological practice that is grounded in theory while remaining agile and responsive to the individual. We value sophisticated formulation, clinical judgement and thoughtful tailoring of intervention rather than the mechanical application of therapeutic protocols. The practice is led by a dual-endorsed Clinical and Organisational Psychologist, alongside a small team of Clinical Psychologists and dedicated administrative support. We aim to provide an environment that is professional, warm, personable and intellectually engaging, where psychologists have considerable autonomy in their clinical work alongside access to collegial consultation and support.

Commencement

Flexible for the right candidate, with late January/early February 2027 preferred.

Applying

We are particularly interested in understanding what draws you to this opportunity and what you value in a long-term professional environment.

Shortlisted candidates will participate in a structured selection process, which may include interviews, clinical case discussion, reference checking and psychometric assessment.

Confidential enquiries about the position are also welcome.
