Psychologist

Our unique business model is based on the principles of social enterprise and cooperative practices. We believe in the equitable distribution of resources where clinicians are not subjected to financial exploitation for the sole purpose of maximising profits. We are focused on creating an environment where psychologists thrive, both professionally and personally. We provide a supportive environment that encourages collaboration while allowing clinicians the freedom to build and shape their own clinical practice.
