There’s something broken in psychology.
Clinical psychologists are burning out at alarming rates and when you dig beneath the surface, it’s clear why.
You are overworked, under-paid and under-supported.
You got into this profession because you wanted to make an impact on people’s lives, but you didn’t realise how hard it would be on your own life.
You don’t earn anything near what you deserve. Getting to where you are now took blood, sweat and tears… years of studying, exams, training and evaluation. But the average psychologist earns just over $100k in Australia.
You get told to reduce the number of clients you see, but that just means less income and more financial pressure.
The environment in which you work doesn’t help either, sitting down for hours each day, face-to-face with clients, often in a small room. Who could blame you for being burned out?
We believe this is deeply unfair.
As a clinical psychologist, you are the person we turn to when we are most in need and you do this job because you find meaning in helping people in these moments. You are the ones who help us to get over our biggest challenges and flourish…
But who is helping you?
This is why The Psychologist Collective exists. We are an organisation helping clinical psychologists like you to live the life you deserve, financially, emotionally and practically.
We help clinical psychologists to;
Earn more income (without having to take on more clients)
Spend less time on admin
Open their own practice
Do the work they are most passionate about
Stop getting burned out
We’re the fighter in your corner, the ones ready to pull on our gloves and go tackle your toughest problems for you.
Now, we’re just getting started, but if any of this resonates with you, if you want to transform your experience as a clinical psychologist and open your own dream practice, please do get in touch with us.
I’d love to hear from you.
