I keep thinking about the LinkedIn male profile experiment so I’m going to share my take on it.

If you’re not familiar, women (including a therapist) reported significant increases in traffic and engagement as a result of changing their profile to male.

Prior to the news breaking, I’d noticed LinkedIn was a man’s world. I saw more posts from men than any other social media platform I’m on, including male therapists. I’d had a lot more interaction on my posts from men than any other platform. Mostly positive, but I also got a regular taste of mansplaining & even a bit of scolding, something I’m not used to in self-employment.

What the LinkedIn experiment revealed is something I’ve known for a long time. Men and women listen to men, but few men will listen to a woman. Boys won’t watch or read movies with a female lead. Some women still see men as greater authorities than women. I see this even in the field of therapy.

Men are over represented at the top of the therapy field - compared to the gender spread on the ground. There’s more male thought leaders, academics & trainers than there should be if the balance represented the workforce.

A long time ago I made the decision to support women trainers & thought leaders in the field of therapy to address this.

It’s just one thing I can do to correct the imbalance.

It’s one thing I can do to empower women.

I’d love to know your thoughts about the LinkedIn profile experiment.

This week, the woman behind the scenes of many psychologist's practices, Tali Stow, founder of the VA Circle, joins me to explore how virtual assistants are revolutionizing the therapy and allied health sectors.

Tali shares her inspiring journey of building a thriving VA agency that supports psychologists and health professionals, and dives deep into the mindset shifts required to embrace delegation. From overcoming trust barriers to unlocking time and energy for growth, this conversation is a must-listen for therapists ready to step into true business leadership.

You’ll also hear about Tali’s new Reset and Refine offer, designed to help small business owners streamline operations, boost efficiency, and finally stop doing it all alone without committing to long term VA contracts.

If you’ve ever wondered whether outsourcing could be the key to scaling your practice—this episode will change the way you think.

This weekend I've been moving through the Jeffrey Young Schema Therapy Association (JYSTA) Symposium content. I think everyone who attended would agree the symposium ran smoothly and had engaging content - a credit to the JYSTA and the events team.

I had the pleasure of attending two sessions live and the rest I watched or am watching via recording. I learned the hard way some years ago that doing all-nighters to attend conferences in other time-zones was not in my best interests. My Healthy Adult Mode says "No".

I was glad to see that the symposium included sessions addressing a topic often missing from past events and trainings I've attended: the influence of online communities and powerful algorithms on how clients present and engage in therapy. These forces also shape their expectations of both therapists and the therapeutic process.

More and more often in supervision these days I ask my supervisees "Where does your client get their information from? What online community spaces do they inhabit or participate in? How much chatGPT do they use?".

Thank you again to the JYSTA for bringing the schema therapy community this event.

If the algorithm brings this post to you, I'd love to hear more about whether you use these types of questions and how you are finding the online sphere is impacting your work with clients.

Whew- I need to be on NY time this week.

I’m in the middle of a pitch challenge with a marketing expert and world renowned keynote speaker who’s based in NY.

This pitch challenge is 🔥. I have been high fiving myself for taking a chance on it because it is perfect for where I am at.

And today I’m a participant in the first ever Jeffrey Young Schema Therapy Association event- it starts tonight and is also on NY time.

Thank goodness for recordings that allow me to take part it in and also sleep and take care of my business and family responsibilities.

I can’t wait to share my takeaways with you all and of course all the goodness with my coaching clients and supervisees.

Here are some of the coaching outcomes I’ve seen my coaching clients in the last 12 months, therapists just like you, while working with me.

- Sold multiple 5 figures of training. They came to coaching barely able to sell one ticket. The difference - guidance on sales copy and launch strategy

- Create a thriving email list and sell their specialist supervision service directly to their subscribers

- Develop and implement a comprehensive content plan (blogs and social media) that is resulting in increased SEO and client bookings (their content is fire)

- Undertake their first ever Black Friday sale and get their offer sold ++!

- Open up a new branch of a private practice and selectively market to their ideal client only (different to the foundation site which is a generalist psychology practice).

- Be offered speaking opportunities with an audience of ideal clients as a direct result of networking

- Implement a brand new high ticket offer with lots of interest and takers

- Create their offer for their additional income stream as well as the entire funnel into it – launching soon

- Work on their brand message and get clients

- Let go of old jobs that didn’t serve them and negatively impacted their business

- Be offered project management opportunities in their area of expertise

- Get clear and confident on their expertise, the kind of work they want to do (and don’t want to do) and made the necessary changes, making their business energising, lighter and more profitable.

- Allowing themselves to get support to run Facebook ad campaigns instead of getting overwhelmed – they got concrete data on what does and doesn’t work and some new clients

- Taking the leap into podcast guesting and building the brand voice at the same time

- Launching group supervision offers that booked out.

- Standing firm on the side of their business with difficult competitors instead of giving in.

- Selling out in person trainings

- Creating and selling a profitable course

- Got royalty payments from book sales come in

- Delivering training internationally and becoming known as “the one” in their area.

- Create website copy that was clear and appealing to the ideal client for an upscale consulting service that is launching soon.

-Turn up everywhere on social media promoting their speciality service via talking reels, after being a “no way” on socials.

If you’re a therapist & you’re looking for an additional income stream but you don’t want to add in something that will weigh you down - take note.

I met a new coaching client with this exact concern.

She's already great at content creation- she has a fabulous TikTok account about non-psychology stuff with an engaged audience. Not many therapists come to me with social media skills, so that was fun for me, and also positions her well, as she understands what it takes to build an audience.

Here’s what we focused on in the session.

We leaned into what energises her in her business currently - the type of client, the goals & topics.

And also what burdened her & she didn’t want more of.

We also talked about how that could possibly link to her personal interests or whether it would feel better to leave the TikTok topic to a hobby.

If you’re not sure, go through a similar process, the pathway to your additional income stream will become clear.

If this sounds like you - check out Day 4 and Day 5's coaching offers in my 5 Days of Deals Sale.

They are seriously good. Available for 24 hours only.
