Hi, I'm Nicola...

I am the business owner of Counselling with Nicola. This is a highly successful counselling service that I run from my home in Scotland.  My business has flourished through two recessions and a pandemic. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine my business would be this successful - but it is!

Do you want to know something else?

 Other than hosting my website I have never paid a single penny on marketing!

Incredible isn’t it? 

Also

within one hour of going ‘live’ with my business, I had secured my first client. 

I will NEVER forget the joy of that feeling! I’m pretty sure I did a ‘happy dance’!

I would love to help you set up and grow your business with little or no marketing costs. 

There is a lot of work to be done to set up your private practice but I have the skills and knowledge to guide you through this process.

So why should you work with me? 

Well, I have a lot of experience setting up counselling services in my local community and supporting therapists to set up their own business. 

The counselling services I set up in my community support people in managing their mental health. These services continue to be a huge asset to the community and are also great placement opportunities for trainee counsellors. Many years later they are still busy and thriving too. 

I set up these counselling services with no extra costs to the organisations involved. 

I have a great deal of experience in working with clients, and therapists. I understand how to connect with clients to meet their needs. I know how to communicate my services to my potential client base. 

I have a great deal of experience in marketing myself with no costs involved.

What stage are you at?

Do you want to quickly learn everything you need to know?

If so my Getting Started Webinar is exactly what you are looking for. It is a 45-minute recording that covers everything you need to get started.

If you want support to create your policies you might want to check out my Creating your Policies webinar. This webinar compliments the Getting Started webinar.

Do you need much more content and information?

If so you need my Practice Ready training course! This is a course packed full of content.

The content is delivered in video form so you can listen to me at your leisure. We explore marketing in depth and discuss all the policies you need. There are downloadable templates to help get you started creating your policies.

By purchasing my Practice Ready Training Course you will also get access to me in my monthly online drop-in group which runs the first Thursday of every month.

Do you just wish you had a space where you could ask questions about setting up in Private Practice? Would you like to have a space where you could learn some tips and tricks about getting started?

Join my Monthly Drop-In!

It's a relaxed, no-pressure Zoom call where you can ask anything, get advice, and hear practical insights. Whether you're stuck on a specific issue or just need some guidance, this is your chance to connect, learn, and move forward with confidence to set up in private practice.

If you are already a counsellor and are struggling to get clients maybe you need me to review your marketing. Here I will look over your website, social media pages, and directory listings, and give you a review on where I think there might be gaps.

And finally come join me at my LIVE EVENTS. These run a few times a year so check out my website for the next available dates! Here you will learn lots and be able to interact directly with me.
