Private Practice Work

I feel very fortunate to have found Peaceful Mind Psychology early in my career. From the onset, I felt extremely welcomed and supported by all the caring Peaceful Mind staff. I was initially concerned that working in private practice would be somewhat isolating. However, due to being surrounded by like-minded psychologists and the incredible support team, I never felt on my own. The team have set up the practice considering every imaginable detail to ensure our workdays run as smoothly as possible, allowing us to focus more on providing an optimal service for my clients, and less on admin procedures that often accompanies private practice. Kate, Previous Psychologist at Peaceful Mind Psychology

Being new at PMP I was welcomed by very friendly and inclusive fellow staff, from administration and management to the other psychologists. There is a focus on psychologists’ wellbeing at the practice reflected in scheduling to allow for good work/life balance, PD opportunities, social gatherings, and peer supervision, as well as a lovely aesthetic to the practice itself. It has been a pleasure working here so far and I look forward to the future. Carina, Clinical Psychologist

As an early career psychologist, I was looking for a practice that emphasised support and connection. Peaceful Mind stood out because of its strong focus on psychologist wellbeing and self-care, as well as peer relationships and support. Since starting at Peaceful Mind, I have felt cared for, valued, and supported in commencing private practice work. Claire, Previous Psychologist at Peaceful Mind Psychology

Peaceful Mind Psychology has been a great place to start my career in private practice as a clinical psychology registrar. There has been ample support through the warm work environment, peer supervision, one to one support by principal psychologist, and peer consultation groups. There has also been great training opportunities with CBT-E. PMP has provided me with a positive transition into private practice, as I feel part of a team rather than a sole practitioner. Dani, Previous Psychologist at Peaceful Mind Psychology

I have really enjoyed my time so far at Peaceful Mind and through the group supervision program and professional development opportunities offered by the practice, I have also been able to continue developing my knowledge and skills.

The continued support provided by Peaceful Mind Psychology has helped ground my skills as an early career psychologist, and allowed me to focus on my clients. They go the extra mile to ensure you’re feeling supported and comfortable working as an independent professional, where there are also plenty of opportunities to connect with other psychologists. My experience of Peaceful Mind is that they understand that a well-supported psych has the best clinical outcomes for their clients; PMP's comprehensive admin support goes above the usual administration processes, and there are chances to grow through the extensive array of peer supervision and CPD opportunities consistently offered throughout the year.

The team approaches everything with such care, and work mindfully to ensure both our psychologists and our clients are at the forefront of all decisions. They are always looking for ways they can enhance the practice and give their psychologists opportunity for growth through professional development, social catch-ups, and collaborative problem-solving, and I have seen my skills and confidence develop so much through working here.

Alice, Clinical Psychologist

As an early-career psychologist, the idea of working in private practice is, in my opinion, quite daunting. Thankfully, during my almost two years working at PMP, I have felt incredibly supported and valued. The core principles of PMP are evident throughout the entire workplace - from the calming environment in the rooms, to the management and admin team who are always there to help with such care and kindness, to the lovely, skilled psychologists that I am lucky enough to learn from in various professional development opportunities. There is a strong emphasis on psychologist work satisfaction, which is well balanced with encouraging us to develop as psychologists. I feel very grateful to work at PMP! Emily, Psychologist

Peaceful Mind Psychology was my first position as a psychologist in private practice and it has been a wonderful and supportive place to work. I have experienced significant professional growth and maturity as a clinician through the professional development and training that has been provided- particularly within the field of eating disorders. Peaceful Mind has provided a great balance of support whilst also allowing me to challenge myself with a diverse client load. In addition, the admin team and management are fantastic and always happy to help troubleshoot any difficulties. Alice, Previous Psychologist at Peaceful Mind Psychology

I’ve been with Peaceful Mind for just over a year now, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. I have the perfect balance of autonomy and support, with plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow psychologists through organized catch-ups.

Plus, the admin team is outstanding—efficient, responsive, and highly knowledgeable. Aaminah, Psychologist

I cannot recommend Peaceful Mind Psychology highly enough. It is such a warm and inspiring practice, and I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the wonderful psychologists and the incredibly supportive admin team. One of the things that stands out about the practice is the strong collegiality. There are genuine opportunities to connect, which creates a supportive and collaborative environment that can sometimes be hard to find in private practice. The practice also offers excellent professional development and strong early-career support. I have felt strongly supported throughout my time here and have grown significantly in my confidence as a psychologist as a result.
