For years now I have supported therapists to set up in private practice. It's what I do.

I have so many ways to help you!

You might want to join one of my live events. I run them in May and September every year.

I also have a starter pack that will get you up and running right away.

Maybe you need direct access to me well, my Mentoring Package is just for you.

Get in touch, and we can discuss ways I can mentor you to set up in private practice.

I am a fully qualified Senior Accredited Counsellor and Supervisor with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (SNCPSAcc.) I qualified as a counsellor in 2005 and as a supervisor in 2009.

My counselling training was with Persona Counselling in Scotland, and my supervision training was with PCT Britain.

I have previously been a Senior Accredited Counsellor with the BACP.

My Live Events are endorsed by the NCPS as online quality-checked CPD Training events.

I am also a Board Member for the Psychologists Protection Society (PPS)

Since qualifying, I have set up three counselling services. Two of them are in my local community and to date, they still make a huge difference to the local people who use the services.

These counselling services also became placement opportunities for trainee counsellors and are still recognised by the universities as good placement opportunities for students in training.

I also set up my own private practice in 2008. My private practice has grown through two recessions and a pandemic, and I have never paid a penny for advertising. In my role as a supervisor, I regularly support trainees at the end of their training to set up their own counselling services.

I also have an online business where I train and support counsellors to set up in private practice. I lecture at universities and Onlinevents about setting up in private practice.

My Live Events are endorsed by the
NCPS as online quality quality-checked CPD Training events.

I have an information booklet to explain everything in my Starter Pack. You can access the booklet HERE

This is where the magic happens.  Here you will have access to all my resources. The pack is set up so you learn at your own pace. You are free to work through it at your leisure. This might mean you want to take your time, or it may be that you want to whizz through it. The pack whilst it is full of knowledge and information will require you to stop and think about how you want to move your counselling practice forward. 

There are lots of reflections and things to consider when you set up a counselling service. There are practical things for you to do along the way.  A flavour of the topics in the package are – Marketing, Policies, and Pricing and all of these topics will be covered in depth. These are huge topics and I discuss them thoroughly. There will also be downloadable templates for the policies which will help you get started. You will be free to make them your own so that they fit your counselling service.

Once you have signed up for the Private Practice Starter Pack, you automatically get THREE months of free access to my Monthly Online Drop-in call. This happens the first Thursday of the month from 10 am -11 am. If you cannot make the call there will be a recording available for you. Once your three months of drop-in calls are finished you are welcome to pay for and join any drop-in calls thereafter. The Private Practice Starter Pack is great value for money. You get the full pack and three months of support from me! You will be Practice Ready when you have finished this resource.

Well, the short answer is you don’t.  If you are like me though and you want to find everything in one easy place and lots of support then you have come to the right place. The starter pack has been set up in such a way that the order of topics flows in order from the very first thing you need to think about to when you secure your first client. 

If you sign up for my Private practice starter pack you get an automatic three month entry to my monthly online Drop-in clinics. In the drop in clinic you will get a chance to ask me anything about your private practice. You will get access to my expertise. I will be active in this group once a month to answer any questions you may have.

The question is why wouldn’t you sign up for my Private Practice Starter Pack?

The content will be relevant for anyone, anywhere in the world to help you set up your private practice.
