You will not be an employee of LivLove Clinic About LivLove Clinic LivLove Clinic is a relational healing practice grounded in the understanding that all healing happens in relationship. With a team of licensed therapists and wellness practitioners, we provide depth-oriented, relationally-focused mental health services that honour the inherent wholeness of every person. We believe that symptoms arise when we lose connection to our sacred essence, and that unhealthy coping strategies developed to protect against pain can be shifted by accessing inherent internal resources. Our approach recognises that primary relationships contribute to wounds, and that the relationships we create often re-wound us, as well as, give us the opportunity to heal those wounds. At LivLove Clinic, we exist to support the restoration of coherent relationship — with self, others, environment, and sacred essence. In a world increasingly shaped by AI, we protect what cannot be replicated: human presence, relational depth, and the irreplaceable power of being truly seen. Contract Summary LivLove Clinic is seeking a specialised addictions therapist to join our team as an independent contractor, providing relationally-focused addiction treatment that addresses the underlying disconnection that often drives addictive behaviours. This role is ideal for clinicians who understand addiction as an attempt to cope with pain and disconnection, rather than a moral failing. Many of our clients present not with acute addiction, but with substance use patterns that are creating friction and disconnection in their primary relationships. The ideal candidate is skilled in working at this intersection, supporting couples and individuals where use has not yet become complete dependency, but where it is meaningfully disrupting relational coherence and intimacy.



The successful candidate will approach their work with presence, authenticity, and a deep commitment to honouring the wisdom and internal resources of every client and their loved ones. Here’s
