ABOUT US
Psych Central was incorporated in 2019, with head psychologist Christel Roets. Psych Central is multi-faceted with two main functions, we offer mental health care services to the general public in the private sector, and we also offer a supportive environment for newly qualified or existing, mental health care practitioners.
Psych Central has now matured into a well organized and safe space, embodying tranquility, stability, and above all, flexibility for everyone here. Starting with only 1 psychologist, we’ve now grown to more than 25 top psychologists.
Before we dive into the specifics of joining, we'd like to tell you a little bit more about Christel and our admin team.

BENEFITS OF JOINING
PSYCH CENTRAL
Our business model is a unique initiative, in that it allows our practitioners to determine their own working schedules, client capacity, and building personal relationships with their clients, all whilst we take care of the tedious admin, marketing, and business related issues. You can even join Psych Central just to substitute your existing practice, or as a sideline whilst working for another organization.
This minimizes the risk and efforts for you, the psychologist, and maximizes your time to practice what you're passion about.
