Psychology Jobs London: We Are Now Hiring

Job Description: Qualified LGBT Affirmative Clinical/Counselling Psychologist or Psychotherapist (London)

Harrison Psychology Group is currently looking to hire a fully qualified LGBT Affirmative Clinical or Counselling Psychologist or Psychotherapist who is registered and accredited with HCPC or UKCP. We value an integrative approach to psychological therapy and specifically value Mindfulness, ACT, CFT, CBT and additional Third Wave Therapies. We also highly value Psychodynamic Therapy including Existential, Humanistic and Interpersonal perspectives.

Client's seen in our practice typically present with a wide array of psychological struggles most commonly including depression, anxiety, work burnout, anger issues, relationship difficulties, obsessive compulsivity, trauma, low confidence, addiction and eating disorders.

We specialise in providing affirmative therapy for individuals within the LGBTQ+ community and, as such, actively encourage applications from positively identified LGBTQ+ practitioners and/or practitioners who maintain an in-depth knowledge of issues relating to LGBTQ+ identities and who have clinical experience working affirmatively with this population. 

Our Ethos

As a practice, we pride ourselves on being flexible, down-to-earth, super-friendly and understanding. We practice what we preach, work hard on our own self-betterment and remain dedicated to helping others work through their pain. We always aim to be good at what we do and also value recreation and downtime.

Unlike some jobs in psychology, you will not be pushed to take more than you can handle and we will try our best to meet your needs. At the same time, we will challenge you to always build on your clinical skills so as to develop a broad scope of knowledge and also to bring your heart and soul into your work.
