Personal therapy for professionals

I offer personal therapy for trainees and fellow practitioners. This may be to enhance personal development or to untangle a specific concern.

There are no time limits to this work which can be a single session several sessions, a specified number of sessions to meet training requirements, or longer term work developing into a long lasting therapeutic relationship.

Mentoring for private practice

If you want additional support to navigate this curious profession, as your mentor I will offer advice and guidance based on my own knowledge and experience owning a successful private practice business.

I believe having a trusted mentor to whom we can turn for assistance provides an essential and invaluable sounding board. My offer allows you to explore the development and establishment of your business in a confidential safe space on a one to one basis separate to your training and supervision.

I will help you with:

  • Business planning – planning for profit, understanding your costs and managing cashflow
  • Financial records – from individual clients to HMRC
  • GDPR responsibilities – organising your data and working in line with your privacy policy
  • Marketing within ethical boundaries and the law
  • Your clinical will
  • Where you practice and how you deliver your services
  • Work life balance

Individual or small group tutoring

I provide tutoring for trainee therapists who want to strengthen their understanding about different theoretical approaches to counselling and psychotherapy. The approach to teaching which some institutions adopt can leave some students looking for additional teaching and an opportunity to further develop their understanding about complex theoretical concepts or have answers to their specific questions answered in more depth. If you are a trainee and recognise yourself in this description I will welcome your enquiry.

My experience includes being a member of a teaching team delivering post graduate training for psychotherapy and counselling and I have a wealth of knowledge and experience which I am always delighted to share.
