BE CONSCIOUS
Mentorship
Are you a therapist in training or newly qualified therapist wanting to set up private practice but have no idea where to start?
Are you already established in private practice but are struggling to find clients, market yourself or make the level of income you want?
Do you feel like you have hit a ceiling with your practice but want to grow and diversify as a therapist and entrepreneur?
I know exactly how you feel...
As qualified counsellors and psychotherapists, we go through years of costly training and supervision to ensure we are ethically and psychologically equipped to support clients effectively. However, in my experience (and as validated by many colleagues) most training organisations offer very little guidance on how to set yourself up in private practice, and next to no mentoring on how to actually run your practice as a sustainable business.
I started my practice feeling completely alone, with no idea where to start and no-one to ask questions or check if I was ‘doing it right’. However, over 18 months, having used my marketing background to my advantage, I was in a position where I could quit my corporate job having grown an established private practice with a waiting list. I attribute my success to realising early on the importance of separating out my ‘therapist role’ from my ‘business head’, investing time and energy into behind-the-scenes planning, practicalities and promoting my services. However, I wish that I had had someone already set up that I could consult with and generally feel supported by.
I am now in a privileged position where I earn 3 times more than I did in my corporate job; I work with clients and organisations that align with my values and have created a practice that provides me both with flexibility and fulfilment.
I want to support you to have the same…
How Mentoring Works...
As well as the wisdom of establishing my own private practice, I have a wealth of expertise, knowledge and learning to share having invested in mentorship and business coaching myself. As your mentor, my mission isn’t just about supporting you to reach your private practice outcomes, but also in nurturing the foundations for sustainable growth and personal enrichment.
Through an alchemy of experience, marketing expertise (my corporate background) and profound 1-1 bespoke support, Be Conscious Mentorship can support you to:
-
Define your private practice mission, vision and values: clarify your desired income, client caseload and niche with personal with integrity
-
Set up the ethical practicalities for private practice: from insurance and supervision, to contracting and managing client load
-
Build your business management skills: client communications, financial tracking, note taking and fine tuning your efficiency
-
Recognise your core qualities and unique self expression as a therapist: beyond modality and training, discover who your therapeutic style, inherent gifts and passions
-
Create client visibility and professional credibility: develop a professional social media and PR presence to help you to find the right clients and the right clients find you
-
Identify and transform limiting mindsets that hinder success: uncover unconscious beliefs that keep you stuck or in a cycle of self-sabotage when it comes to boundaries, money and growth
-
Unleash your potential through increased confidence and self belief: activate your will in service of personal transformation that propels your professional potential
Mentorship is perfect for you if:
-
You are a therapist nearly/newly qualified or already qualified (Diploma level)
-
You want to build a sustainable private practice as your primary income
-
You are ready to go but don’t know where to start; or are already set up in PP but aren’t getting clients
-
You have hit a ceiling in your current practice and want to up-level both your offering as well as your income
-
You are willing to invest in your PP business and ready to receive the rewards of that investment
Mentorship isn't for you if:
-
You are not a qualified therapist or at the very beginning of your qualification (Certificate level)
-
You want to work in an agency or NHS and are not interested in private practice
-
You are looking for someone to do it all for you or aren’t ready to take action
