About Us:

The Psychologists’ Collective was established in 2022 by Straight Consulting Group to offer psychologists flexible room hire for private practice, from hourly bookings to half day or a full day.

Through the Psychologists’ Collective, SCG draws on a small permanent part-time team and a broader pool of casual part-time practitioners. This culturally diverse network of psychologists can use the flexible rooms as needed, expanding SCG’s access to practitioners.

Rooms are located at 25 Mandeville Street, Riccarton, Christchurch
