Join the Centred Self team

Centred Self offers psychodynamic psychotherapeutic services to individuals of all age ranges, as well as providing in-depth training, supervision, and mentoring to therapists who want to learn to provide more than just a ‘band-aid’ approach to therapy.

At Centred Self, the client – not some ‘step-by-step structure’ – comes first. We are committed to fostering the therapeutic relationship in order to delve into even the scariest depths with clients. Therefore, we seek therapists who are passionate about fostering their own radical self-awareness and recognise that no matter what discipline they work from, they are the technique. We seek psychotherapists/therapists/counsellors who have a desire to hone their practice to better serve clients.

Learn from passionate psychodynamic practitioners through peer supervision. Grow in your self-awareness and hone your practice as a therapist. Increase your client load and become a part of a thriving practice that is changing what mental health looks like!
