Still riding the energy of last week’s Into Practice Business retreat for female mental health professionals in private practice.

One day to work on the business, not in the business. Seven therapists. Lots of big mindset shifts.

We looked at diaries and redesigned them to work in alignment with values.

We challenged over-functioning and over giving.
We stopped pretending that undercharging is ethical.
We created business models that can actually sustain a meaningful life.

Working harder isn’t the strategy; we’re done with hustle culture. We’re working mindfully and intentionally.

When I asked the attendees for feedback, here were some responses:

“Warm and emotionally safe group, knowledgable facilitation, so much inspiration”
“A great group and leader, with lots of wisdom and experience in the room.”
“A balance of personal reflection and teaching that worked really well.”

On the question - “What shifted today?” here is a snippet of replies:

✨ “Reconnecting to the values that led me to private practice.”
✨ “I’m ready to do this - I have marketable skills others don’t.”
✨ “It’s OK to focus on the business model whilst holding human values.”
✨ “I feel excited and energised about building my business instead of feeling fearful.”

Into Practice is about holding the dualities:
You can be clinically excellent and business savvy.
You can hold depth with clients alongside business structure.
You can build something powerful that works for you, without burning out.

A well structured private practice won’t just happen by default, it needs to be designed - from a place of regulated nervous system too.

If you’re ready to stop hesitating and start building intentionally, watch this space. My online offerings are coming soon, and in person retreats later in the year.

One of the strange truths of being a psychologist is that we often don’t get to know how people’s stories unfold.

We sit with uncertainty, we walk alongside people during chapters that feel tender or unfinished, and we often have to trust that the seeds planted will keep growing long after therapy ends.

Sometimes in sessions though, we’re offered a glimpse into what has shifted. And it’s a genuine privilege.

So receiving this message recently from a client at the end of our therapeutic work together was one of those moments that reminds me why I do this job. Knowing you’ve helped someone feel safer with themselves, more compassionate, more trusting of their own capacity… it’s honestly so moving. A real highlight of this work.

If you are looking for a psychologist or executive coach, working with the mind and body, alongside EMDR and IFS, do get in touch. I do have a waiting list, but I’d love to hear from you. Email me - hello@theyogipsychologist.com

Some lovely words from a client I worked with this year 🥹 it reminded me what a privilege it is to be invited into someone’s inner world. I often hear stories from people they’ve never told anyone before. Therapy is such a sacred space - to witness someone’s growth, vulnerability, and courage is one of the greatest honours of this work. 🤍

On courageous vulnerability, and embracing our own ‘bumbling ineptness’ as a portal into authentic connection with ourselves and others ❣️

We can spend a lot of energy, time and emotion defending against the idea that deep down we’re not good enough, we’re not worthy.

How would your life be different if you didn’t grip that belief so tightly?

How would you stand, walk, talk?

Don’t believe everything you think 💕

How deeply can you let yourself rest? Not zone out in front of a screen, but truly rest.

We’re so busy that for many, this feels uncomfortable. Unfamiliar. Frightening, even.

But there’s magic to be found in the pause. Space. Not-knowing. Curiosity.

Let’s stop glamourising overwork and productively and start glamourising rest.

Can you take 10 minutes to lie on your back (maybe bend your knees, or not), let all the sediment of the day settle. Let your breath lengthen. See what’s with you today, when all the noise quietens down.

When you get some disappointing news, something doesn’t go to plan, or something hard happens - how does your body react?

Do you tense - your jaw, your shoulders, your core - preparing to ‘do battle’ - even if only mentally?

You might think things like…
“This isn’t fair” “I can’t believe this is happening to me” “I’m outraged”.

Or does your body collapse - folding inwards with slumped shoulders, a crumpled sigh - do you withdraw, avoid?

You might think…
“I can’t cope” “It’s too much”

You might even pendulum between the two.

Next time something happens that throws you, take a moment and notice what’s happening in your body - it holds the key to our patterns of relating to ourselves and the wider world.

How much simpler would your life be if you trusted your intuition rather than second guessing yourself?

That second guessing is usually fuelled by worrying about what others might think, or what we ‘should’ do.

I combine body based approaches with therapy and coaching because I’m so passionate about the importance of connecting to our bodies - they already know the answer.
