Who Are We?

Capital Psychology Clinic is a large, vibrant team of psychologists who have been providing therapy, assessment and group therapy services to the Canberra Community for over 7 years, under the directors, Dr Eryn Davies and Jenna Keen, who were the 2020 Women in Business-Small Business of the Year winners, finalists in the Allied Health Awards 2021 and most recently the winners of the Canberra Women in Business Social Impact Award. To get a closer look at us and our team, please go to www.capitalpsychologyclinic.com or check out our Facebook page to see what the team have been up to.

CPC provides therapy for all ages of care, no we are not just a Paediatric team, although we are well known for that. We also provide assessments and an active group therapy program across the school terms for children of all ages and stages of development. We thrive on supporting as many people in our community as we can, while also maintaining the health and work life balance for our team members. In fact, health and work life balance of our team members is a prominent value for CPC, allowing psychologists to deliver their highest quality of care to the community. This is why we especially seek those who may have been working for a few years in the public sector or may have been working in their own private practice and simply need a change and a team to support them and allow them to gain back their life balance so they can again enjoy their role as a psychologist. If this sounds like you then please read on, as we have one amazing team here waiting to meet you and make your transition to a new job smooth and refreshing. 

Why would you want to join us?

CPC offers strong career progression pathways for advancement in clinical work, experience and promotion. We actively encourage you to speak up about ideas and interests you would like to add to your role, and we encourage design and expansion of clinical services that interest you. We do not expect psychologists to simply see clients and have no advancement or excitement in their career. We provide a caring and friendly team that work together and celebrate together, ensuring your career and family life will also benefit from being part of our team at CPC. 

CPC also provides a full-time administration team who support you to work through your day and provide your clients with a high level of care every time they enter the practice. We also provide smooth policy and procedures for transferring from your previous position or private practice to your new role as our team member, to ensure a seamless change that is focused on your excitement and new work life balance. With not only one, but two directors and a full-time administration team, you will be well looked after. Considering the current times and challenges, we are also prepared to support relocation needs if you are currently not in Canberra. 

Your directors are….  Dr Eryn Davies and Jenna Keen

Eryn and Jenna originally began working within the public health sector and understand the demands and time stressors working within these environments. This means, that one of the most important parts of their role as directors, is to provide their team with exemplary work life balance and understanding through thick and thin, to ensure your move to the private sector or from your own private practice is worth it every day you come into the office.  Eryn and Jenna are a dynamic team, with human and furry families who understand life’s challenges and make every effort to ensure your career at CPC is filled with purpose and life balance. Both directors are still actively involved in client care as well as directing the company, to ensure they are up to date with all requirements, compliance, policy and procedures as well as still having a great understanding of treatment and assessment through their own client load. This provides you with two directors who are always accessible, open to discussion and ideas and can step in when urgent matters are required.
