Some days are diamonds and some days are gold.

This is all part of running a practice - learning to ride the waves!

I remember my accountant saying to me when I first met him, this is something as a practice owner you’ll need to learn to master.

Have you learnt to master this?

Two resignations in one week.

When that happens, you need to be ready to rehire and that starts with having a clear, repeatable interview process.

A solid interviewing system means you know exactly what to ask, what red flags to look for, and how to spot the right fit early. It’s not just about filling the role quickly — it’s
about protecting your team, your clients, and your sanity.

In Episode 63 of the podcast, I’m walking you through my exact process for screening new hires — the steps, the must-ask questions, and how to spot warning signs before they become your problem.

Ever had to work your way through a disaster at your practice?

15 years ago, a friend told me:

“Having your own practice isn’t the be-all and end-all of psychology.”

I was particularly smug when she said it — because at the time, I thought having your own practice was the ultimate career goal.

Fast forward to now, and I see exactly what she meant.

You can love psychology and build a career that looks different to what you imagined.

Think:
• Online trainings & courses
• In-person workshops
• Expanding into a group practice
• Consulting & mentoring

Your career doesn’t have to fit into one box.

And your “ultimate goal” can evolve over time.

When these problems pile up, walking away can feel like the only option.

I cover this in detail in Episode 61 of The Private Practice Academy Podcast — and how to turn it around before it gets to that point.

I have read these books this year and each has had an impact on my life.

Unstoppable Success is a mindset book designed to stop you playing it safe. Drunk on confidence - not about drinking but about becoming the most confident version of you.

10x is easier than 2x - who would have thought it is actually to 1 really well than try and spread yourself across 15 projects.

The Courage to be disliked really chalenges the way we think - Alfred Adler talks about not being defined by our past.

Surrounded by idiots - this really explained to me why I feel the way I do about others. I am a combination of red and yellow!

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.

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.
