Strategic Workshops for Therapists Building or Growing a Private Practice
Build a Private Practice That’s Sustainable, Ethical, and Yours
You trained to become a skilled, compassionate therapist.
But when it came to running a business - you were left to figure that part out on your own.
If private practice feels overwhelming, confusing, or like you’re constantly guessing what to do next, you’re not alone. The business side of therapy is rarely taught, and yet it’s the foundation that holds your clinical work.
These Smart Therapy Workshops were created to change that.
Whether you’re preparing to launch your practice or you’re already established and craving more spaciousness and strategy - these are not just business workshops. They are transformation days for therapists ready to take their next step with confidence.
Why These Workshops Matter
Many therapists qualify feeling passionate and prepared to support others - but deeply unprepared to build a practice that works for them.
That gap is more than logistical. It’s emotional. It’s financial. It’s exhausting.
Without a clear roadmap, therapists often:
→ Undercharge or avoid raising fees out of fear
→ Delay setting up their practice due to uncertainty
→ Reach full capacity but feel unfulfilled or burnt out
→ Struggle to trust their own vision because they lack structure
You don’t need to figure this out alone.
You need space, support, and a plan that fits your values.
These workshops are here to give you that - so your business can support your life, not consume it.
A Client Story: From Confused to Confident Business Owner
When I first met Ashley, she was qualified, ambitious, and had a vision of building a private practice and eventually opening her own therapy rooms.
But like so many therapists, she was unsure where to begin. She didn’t know how to structure her services, market ethically, or manage the legal side of her dream.
We worked together on her offers, systems, and strategy - and now? She owns a thriving private practice and a beautiful therapy space that other therapists rent from, too.
She’s built a business that’s financially stable, emotionally fulfilling, and aligned with the kind of life she wants. Watching that transformation unfold is exactly why I do this work.
I’ve supported almost 100 therapists through my private practice workshops and consulting. Whether you’re just getting started or already a few years in and ready to grow, you don’t have to do it alone.
