About Us

Ashburn Clinic is a psychiatric hospital and democratic therapeutic community established over 130 years ago. We cater for both privately and publicly funded patients, and our treatment model makes a significant and unique contribution to the overall mental health services in New Zealand. Our patients are adults who usually present with mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, addictions, and complex responses to trauma. 

About You

You will have psychotherapeutic responsibility for the assessment and treatment of a caseload of inpatients, and will provide input into the multidisciplinary clinical team and the wider Ashburn community. You will have experience and skills in providing individual psychotherapy within a psychodynamic orientation, and in working within a multidisciplinary team. You would ideally have some experience working in a group psychotherapy and/or therapeutic community setting, or have a strong interest in developing such skills. 

Ashburn also offers educational opportunities where staff provide guidance for trainee psychotherapists in the theoretical aspects of psychotherapy and the apprenticeship model. There are also opportunities for teaching nursing students, medical students, and students from other allied health disciplines.

Must Haves

You must have a formal qualification in psychotherapy and be registered as a psychotherapist with PBANZ in New Zealand, or be eligible to be so registered.

Please note that due to the vulnerability of our patients and staff we require new employees to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
