About the Role

We are seeking experienced Mental Health Counsellors (Contractors) to deliver counselling services across:

  • Provide one-on-one counselling sessions
  • Support clients with mental health, trauma, stress, and behavioural challenges
  • Develop structured, goal-focused therapeutic strategies
  • Maintain accurate progress notes, reports, and incident documentation
  • Work collaboratively with families, carers, and multidisciplinary teams
  • Identify risks and follow appropriate reporting and safeguarding processes
  • Support emotional wellbeing, resilience, and independence

    • Counselling
    • Psychology
    • Social Work
    • Mental Health
    • Community Services (Mental Health)

  • Contractors manage their own tax and compliance

Who This Role Is For

Experienced counsellors who can work independently
Professionals confident managing complex mental health clients
Individuals with strong documentation and compliance discipline
