For life today. Founded in 2018, The Nest Club is a specialist psychotherapy practice supporting individuals, couples and families through some of the most significant, complicated and emotionally demanding periods of their lives.</p><p><br></p><p>From relationships and fertility treatment to pregnancy, loss, becoming a parent, raising a family, separation and divorce, we provide high-quality, accessible therapy for the things people are really living through.</p><p><br></p><p>That might mean a relationship that's struggling. An affair or loss of trust. IVF that is taking over someone's life. A relationship under the pressure of trying to conceive. Anxiety during pregnancy. Birth trauma or baby loss. Feeling completely unlike yourself after becoming a parent. Two people who have somehow become co-parents rather than partners. Parenting overwhelm. Conflict within a family. Separation or divorce. Learning how to co-parent after a relationship ends. Navigating a blended family. Returning to work. Or simply reaching a point where something needs to change.</p><p><br></p><p>Our work is inclusive of different relationships, families and routes to creating a family — including heterosexual and LGBTQ+ couples, solo parents, blended and stepfamilies, donor conception, fertility treatment and surrogacy.</p><p><br></p><p>Our mission is to significantly improve the mental wellbeing of individuals, parents, partners and families through excellent, affordable and inclusive psychotherapy and counselling.</p><p>And we're growing.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Who We're Looking For</strong></p><p>We're building a carefully selected team of <strong>individual, couples and family therapists</strong> who combine excellent clinical practice with warmth, humanity and genuine specialist understanding.</p><p>You may work with individuals, couples or families — or, as many therapists do, across more than one of these areas.</p><p><br></p><p>We're particularly interested in therapists with experience in one or more of:</p><ul><li>Couples and relationship therapy</li><li>Family therapy</li><li>Relationship difficulties and recurring conflict</li><li>Communication and emotional disconnection</li><li>Intimacy and psychosexual difficulties</li><li>Infidelity, affairs and rebuilding trust</li><li>Relationship crisis and breakdown</li><li>Separation and divorce</li><li>Discernment and decision-making around whether to stay together</li><li>Co-parenting during and after separation</li><li>Parenting across two homes</li><li>Blended families and stepfamilies</li><li>Family conflict and changing family dynamics</li><li>Premarital and pre-commitment therapy</li><li>Fertility, IVF and assisted conception</li><li>Donor conception and surrogacy</li><li>Pregnancy and antenatal mental health</li><li>Perinatal and postnatal mental health</li><li>Miscarriage, termination, baby loss and reproductive grief</li><li>Birth trauma</li><li>Transition to parenthood</li><li>Relationships after children</li><li>Parenting and parental burnout</li><li>Family and systemic therapy</li><li>LGBTQ+ relationships and family formation</li><li>Trauma</li><li>Grief and loss</li><li>Identity and major life transitions</li><li>Returning to work following maternity or paternity leave</li></ul><p><br></p><p>We don't expect one therapist to specialise in everything.

People who can listen deeply, tolerate complexity and combine empathy with appropriate challenge.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>INCLUSIVE & CULTURALLY CONSCIOUS</strong></p><p>Our clients have different identities, relationships, cultures, histories and ways of creating and being a family. We expect therapists to practise with cultural humility and an understanding of the ways identity, sexuality, gender, race, culture, socioeconomic circumstances and wider systems can shape people's experiences.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>SAFE & ETHICAL</strong></p><p>You will work within the ethical framework of your professional body, maintain regular external clinical supervision and practise within your competencies<strong>.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>REFLECTIVE</strong></p><p>We want therapists who remain curious about their work and themselves.

We want therapists who are interested not simply in receiving referrals, but in helping us build an exceptional modern psychotherapy practice. Ultimately, we're looking for people who care deeply about doing good therapy.</p><p>People who understand that expertise and humanity aren't opposites.</p><p>Who know their theory but don't hide behind jargon.</p><p>Who can sit with grief, anger, ambivalence, shame, love, resentment and uncertainty without rushing to make them disappear.</p><p>Who understand that relationships change. That becoming parents can bring people closer together or expose cracks that were already there. That loving someone doesn't always mean a relationship can continue. That separation and divorce can contain grief, relief, fear and hope all at once. That ending a relationship doesn't necessarily end a family. That learning to co-parent, rebuilding a life or creating a blended family can require just as much emotional support as creating a family in the first place. And who understand that desperately wanting a baby doesn't make fertility treatment any less brutal; that loving your children doesn't mean you can't miss who you were before them; and that relationships and families rarely fit neatly into boxes.</p><p>If that sounds like the way you practise, we'd really like to hear from you.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Applications</strong></p><p>Please send your <strong>CV and a short covering note</strong> telling us:</p><ul><li>Your therapeutic modality and qualifications</li><li>Your professional registration/accreditation</li><li>Whether you work with individuals, couples and/or families - this should be in the subject line</li><li>Your specialist clinical interests and additional training</li><li>Your post-qualification experience</li><li>What draws you to working with The Nest Club</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Shortlisted applicants will be asked to provide evidence of qualifications, professional registration, insurance, DBS, supervision and right to work, together with two professional references.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Email:</strong> hello@thenestclub.co.uk</p><p><strong>The Nest Club welcomes therapists from all backgrounds and identities.</strong> We particularly want our clinical team to reflect the diversity of the individuals, couples and families we support.</p><p><br></p>
