1-to-1 Coaching for Setting Up a Private Practice

Understandably, the aim of many psychotherapy and counseling students/trainees is to set up their own successful private practice.

This way of working provides so many potential benefits, including greater control over your life and time and the ability to choose how you practice and who you work with.

How to set up a successful practice often isn’t taught though to any significant degree on most therapy courses. This, combined with the number of inquiries I receive asking for advice, is why I now also offer a one-to-one coaching service for anyone looking to realize their dream and set up their own successful therapy practice.

We can use these sessions to explore all topics, including the practicalities of running this kind of business and how to establish the kind of practice you want.

1-2-1 Coaching for growing and developing Your Practice

After more than 10 years now in the profession, I offer coaching for some of the possible routes you can take to grow and develop your practice once it’s established and you have the number of clients you need.

Together, we can look at areas including:

  • how to secure media work,

  • how social media might help, and

  • various other potential forms of ‘passive income’

Make contact now and we can discuss how these sessions might help you.

Career Change/Private Practice Coaching

I offer coaching sessions for both private practice support and career change guidance at a rate of £120 for a 50-minute session.

Whether you’re navigating the complexities of building or growing a private practice, or contemplating a career change that aligns with your passions and skills, I can help you uncover solutions, build confidence, and create actionable steps toward your aspirations.

Our time together can be tailored to your unique needs—whether you're seeking a one-off session to gain clarity on a specific issue or prefer a series of sessions to look more deeply into your goals and challenges. If you're unsure whether a single session or a longer-term approach would suit you best, we can discuss your needs during an initial consultation.
