As a Psychologist we are conditioned to think we need to like al aspects of our roles….

Newsflash and unpopular opinion alert….. We don’t and I certainly didn’t.I loved supervision when I first started and truth be known I do stil enjoy aspects of this.

At one time I had 22 students I was supervising so I realy did enjoy it but I did burn out as this was predominately what I did each day of the week.

It was odd to admit that I no longer got enjoyment out of something I once loved but after sitting with this I began to accept this.

I dive into this topic in detail in my podcast tomorrow Episode 58 Why saying yes ruined Wednesdays for me.

When winter hits, sickness spreads faster than office gossip.

And if you’re running a psychology practice, it’s not if staff call in sick… it’s when.

In Episode 57 of The Private Practice Academy Podcast, I do a deep dive into exactly how to prepare your business so you don’t spiral when multiple clinicians are out at once.

Because when you’ve planned for it, staff sickness becomes an inconvenience… not a meltdown.

🎧 Listen to Episode 57 for the full breakdown — DM me the word “SICK” and I’ll send you the link.

Everyone wants to know - where do I find great staff?

And yes this matters

But here’s the thing no one likes to admit.

The key factor in attracting and keeping the right people isn’t just about the ad or the platform you post it on.

It’s what happens before you start looking.

Do you have:

* Clear policies and procedures

* Documented expectations around communication

* An onboarding system that sets both your practice and new staff up for success.

* When you’re ready to scale, start by getting everything behind the scenes in order, then go and find the right people to join your team.

DM if you would like mentoring support to build these foundations and make hiring a long term
success

Nobody really talks about what it’s like to get a podcast sponsor — especially in the therapy or
business coaching world.

So I am.

This season, The Private Practice Academy Podcast is proudly sponsored by .ai — and it felt like the right time to share the story behind that.

It didn’t happen overnight. But with consistency, clarity, and a clear voice, it did happen.

DM me if you would like support with your podcast.

Marketing your practice is about letting the client know that you understand their
pain point.

Once we understand this then our marketing will start to convert.

If you are having trouble with this DM me ‘waitlist’ and I’ll put you on my waitlist for
my new training on how to market yourself on social media and convert these
into clients.

About us

Have you been thinking about setting up your own Private Practice? Are you an established psychologist, or are you a recently endorsed Psychologist, or have you just completed your 4+2 or 5+1 pathway and wanting to start your own Private Practice? If so you are in the right place.

At the Private Practice Academy, I provide you with a complete step by step guide to setting up your own solo psychology practice so that you can finally make the difference and money you deserve. Once I finished my postgraduate studies at University I started working for other organisations and started to feel like my values were not aligned with theirs. I wanted to work with the clients that I love to work with rather than every client that walked through the door.

So how do we start?

I will work with you to understand what success means to you and how to set up your practice to achieve that. Guide you through the exact steps that are required to set up and maintain your solo private practice. Help you attract a consistent pipeline of your ideal, niche clients. We provide you with education and ongoing accountability to stay on track and thrive in business on your own.
