“Building Your Private Practice”

“Building Your Private Practice – Starting, Surviving, Thriving”

A business start-up workshop for counsellors and therapists.


This workshop provides a wide range of personal, professional and practical insights for counsellors and psychotherapists who are considering setting up a private practice.

Drawing on my own recent and ongoing experiences as a therapist in private practice, I will be sharing my knowledge and inviting discussion and reflection on a number of key topics.

The program for the day is divided into the following broad sections:

  • The Personal Side

The personal side of private practice: me and my journey, my support crew and my potential clients

  • Perspectives and Strategies

Short-term and long-term views: assumptions, expectations, timelines and goals; strategies for start-up, survival and growth

  • Working ON the Business

What I’m offering, how I’m offering it and how I’m going to reach my potential clients

  • Working IN the Business

Setting up internal processes, turning enquiries into clients, refining your service delivery, follow-up

  • Staying In Business

Sustaining yourself and your practice, with or without Medicare rebates

  • Your questions and areas of concern
