Australia - Mental Health Therapist - Remote

Who are we and why should you join us?

BetterHelp is on a mission to remove the traditional barriers to therapy and make mental health care more accessible to everyone. Founded in 2013, we are now the world’s largest online therapy service – providing affordable and convenient therapy in 210 countries and over 60 languages across the globe. Our network of over 30,000 licensed therapists have helped millions of people take ownership of their mental health and change their lives forever.

What are we looking for?

BetterHelp is looking for Remote Counsellors to join our provider network, where you can focus on providing clinical expertise while we take care of everything else. 

Who Should Apply:

• Counsellors looking for an easy, all-in-one technology platform for telehealth.
• Counsellors who want to focus 100% on clinical work – not on acquiring clients, billing, support, or operations. (We handle all of that!)
• Counsellors who want a feature-rich platform that is constantly adding new clinical tools – not just video conferencing software.
• Counsellors who want the opportunity to work with specific populations or presenting concerns.
• Counsellors who are obsessed with privacy and confidentiality, and want a state-of-the-art technology platform with secure, encrypted phone, video, and text-based communication.

Requirements

• YOE: 3+ years (Required)
• Membership with Australian Counseling Association, PACFA, Australian Association of Social Workers, or AHPRA.
• A private and professional environment for conducting sessions.
• Excellent written communication.
• Must have professional liability insurance.
• Reliable Internet connection.

Benefits

• Consistent referrals: Desired caseload can be established within the first 30 - 60 days.
• Zero overhead: No fees are collected from the therapist, ever.
• Flexible schedule: You are always in control of your schedule and appointment times.
• Engaged clients: You are connected with clients who fit your specific areas of expertise. Then, BetterHelp provides clients with a wide variety of ways to connect with you so that they can best start their therapeutic journey: from scheduled live sessions, to shared journal entries, to audio and video messages, to clinical worksheets, to formal goal setting and tracking, and more.
• Autonomy over clinical decisions: You are the registered and trained clinician. BetterHelp will defer to your clinical judgment and expertise about the most effective and clinically appropriate approach for each client.
• Personalized marketing: You will have your own website and profile that is optimized for you based on your location, expertise, and availability.
• Resources to keep you connected: BetterHelp has a strong and accessible peer community of over 30,000 Counsellors, available to you directly through the platform.
• Resources to support you: Counsellors on the BetterHelp platform receive a free BetterHelp account – so you can dedicate time to your own self-care!
