Therapist Coaching and Mentoring
Setting up private practice can feel incredibly overwhelming. There are so many things to think about and decide and it can be difficult to know where to start, what to do and how to do it. I support therapists and counsellors through this process.
You might need help narrowing down or prioritising what to do because it feels like there's so much; or perhaps you're stuck on one specific aspect of setting up your practice. Or maybe you want someone to talk your ideas and questions through with. A personalised 1-1 conversation, not an influx of replies in a Facebook group, just another therapist who's been where you are and gets it.
I offer a number of things for free to help therapists and counsellors newly setting up their practice. You can download my guide and checklist of what you need to do, and join my online coworking space to get stuff done alongside others starting their private practice. But if a more personalised, 1:1 approach sounds appealing, mentoring might be a better fit.
What can mentoring help with?
Goals and ideas
To help you identify what you want to do and how you do it so your private practice aligns with your values.
Action Plan
To create tangible steps to successfully and efficiently reach your goals and make your ideas come alive.
Accountability
To help with your focus and motivation, I offer an encouraging, supportive and collaborative space.
Some of the things we might talk about are:
Vision What does my practice look like in terms of assessment process, scheduling and number of clients?
Foundations What are the practicalities of my practice, like fees, name and cancellation policy?
Marketing How and where should I advertise myself to get the clients I want?
Admin How should I keep track of client information and finances?
Frequency and schedule
We can meet every week, fortnightly or monthly, this is up to you. I also have some flexibility to be able to offer sessions at different times if the same day/time wouldn't work with your schedule.
If booking three sessions, they have to be taken within 3 months.
Cost
I offer a free 15 minute chat for you to ask questions about what I am offering and see if it aligns with what you're looking for before booking in any sessions.
After this, you have the option to book one session (£70 – £80) or three sessions (£200 – £230). This is on a self-selecting sliding scale, which you can read more about on my rates page. Three sessions can be paid for in instalments if needed.
I offer a number of lower cost mentoring sessions to queer and trans therapists and therapists of colour, as these communities are so needed but underrepresented in the profession.
Next steps
Whether you have a clear idea of what you want your private practice to look like or no idea at all; if you're about to qualify, newly qualified, or have been working in an employed role and now feel ready to set up private practice; whatever stage of the setting up journey you're at, get in touch if you feel 1:1 mentoring would be helpful.
You can email me to book a free 15 minute chat or, if you feel you’ve gotten enough information from my website and are ready to get started, you can also book in one or more sessions right away.
