Join Our Team
OPPORTUNITY
Fernwood Clinic is an established, local independent practice in Balham, South London. For the last 6 years our team of 10 Chartered Clinical and Counselling Psychologists has been providing assessment, short term and long term treatment for adults, children, families and couples. We care about positive outcomes for our clients and our recovery rates have consistently been twice as good as NHS IAPT for similar presentations. Due to an increase in demand for our services, we are currently looking for a Clinical or Counselling Psychologist to work with adults and / or children.
We are based in a vibrant neighbourhood of central Balham and we have our own dedicated premises. Vast majority of our clients are local professionals, families and young people.
We strive for all of our Psychologists to have an enjoyable and sustainable long-term private practice with us, typically (but not exclusively) alongside an NHS / not for profit sector role. You will have a high degree of independence in choosing the appropriate treatment course for your client and be able to benefit from flexible working hours. All appointments, reminders and client administration are fully managed by Fernwood Clinic, so that you don’t waste your valuable time on unnecessary non-clinical work.
ABOUT YOU
The role would be suitable for a well-rounded, integrative practitioner whose approach fits with our service values which you can review here, with experience of the following common mental health concerns:
Experience with some or all of the following NICE recommended therapies:

BENEFITS

We have implemented the government guidelines regarding safe working, including staggered schedules, social distancing and increased cleaning.
We are scheduling meetings on an ongoing basis.
To apply, please submit your CV and a covering note detailing your availability to info@fernwoodclinic.co.uk for attention of Ana Hood.
