There are so many times as a practice owner you wil ask yourself is it worth it?

Some days the answer wil be no, but most days the answer wil be yes.

There is so much that goes on behind the scenes when you run a practice and you do need a great team to support you!

It also relies on you to show up even when it’s hard, when it would be easier to just not.

It’s learning that often there won’t be clapping to cheer you on but you need to keep going anyway.

That’s what true leadership is about but often not acknowledged and talked about.

Drop a yes in the comments if you have ever felt like this.

Wrapped up at Channel 9 tonight after chatting about the upcoming social media ban for under-16s 🎥.

What I love about opportunities like this is that they remind me how much psychology matters outside the therapy room.

Whether it’s media, schools, or business our voices as psychologists can shape public understanding in powerful ways.

And for those of you growing your own practice never forget that building visibility and confidence to speak publicly is part of leadership too.

If you’re noticing your team’s flat, quiet, or a little snappy, it’s not just you — November hits everyone hard.

After eleven months of emotional load, the smallest things start to feel big.

This isn’t the time to push harder.

It’s the time to check in, simplify, and help your clinicians finish well.

A calm, connected end to the year means fewer surprises (and fewer resignation emails) in January.

November’s always heavy — everyone’s tired, clients are distracted, staff are counting down to their leave and it’s very likely so are you.

But here’s the truth most practice owners ignore:

🧾 January isn’t “quiet.” It’s expensive.
If you don’t plan now for clinician leave, reduced bookings, and cash flow, that lull can cost you $20K+ in lost revenue before the year even starts.

In this week’s episode (67) of The Private Practice Academy Podcast, I share 4 simple things you can do this month to protect your income and your sanity and
keep the $22k in your pocket!

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.

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.
