Internal Sunshine Psychology is growing, and we’re looking for a Registered Psychologist who enjoys working across both psychological assessment and therapeutic intervention

We’re a boutique private practice based in Beaconsfield, Melbourne, with a commitment to providing thoughtful, neuroaffirming, culturally responsive and evidence-based psychological care

The role

Depending on your interests and experience, your work may include

• Autism and ADHD assessments across the lifespan
• Cognitive and educational assessments, including learning difficulties, giftedness and twice-exceptionality
• Psychological assessments and diagnostic formulation
• Individual therapy with children, adolescents and adults
• Supporting clients experiencing anxiety, OCD, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship challenges and adjustment difficulties
• Working collaboratively with families, schools, GPs and other health professionals
• We are interested in what you enjoy clinically and where you’d like to grow. We want to build a role that makes good use of your existing strengths while allowing you to develop areas of further interest

Why Internal Sunshine

We know that a positive clinical experience starts with a positive workplace

At Internal Sunshine, we value

• Clinical autonomy: The opportunity to exercise your professional judgement and develop your own clinical interests

• Professional development: Opportunities for ongoing learning, specialist training and clinical development
• Supportive leadership: Accessible leadership, regular opportunities for consultation and a workplace where your contributions are valued

• A fully registered psychologist with AHPRA
• Interested in both psychological assessment and therapeutic work
• Confident in clinical reasoning, assessment and report writing, or motivated to further develop these skills
• Comfortable working with children, adolescents and/or adults
• Someone who values neuroaffirming, culturally responsive and evidence-based practice
• Collaborative, reflective and genuinely interested in contributing to a positive team culture
• Experience in autism, ADHD or educational assessments would be highly regarded, although we are also interested in psychologists with strong therapeutic backgrounds who would like to expand their assessment experience
