Are You Building a Private Practice… or Working In One?

Most therapists I speak to fall into private practice almost accidentally.
I went from taking your first client or 'dipping our toes' to juggling a full diary before I had even really thought about what I wanted my business to look and feel like. With so much admin, both clinical and non clinical its easy to fall into a business that’s somehow running you.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.

Here are 3 questions I invite you to pause and consider—questions that separate a busy private practice from a thriving, intentional one:

1️⃣ What are your core values as a clinician—and does your business actually reflect them?
Many therapists have a deeply ethical, human-centred approach to their work
…but their systems, pricing, or boundaries don’t always match the values they hold.
Alignment is where ease begins.

2️⃣ Where are you carrying beliefs that quietly limit your growth?
Common ones I hear:
• “I shouldn’t charge more.”
• “People won’t pay that much for therapy.”
• “I can’t say no; they need me."

"I'm not clever enough"
"I don't want say that online, i might get criticised"
Our beliefs shape our business more than our skills do.

3️⃣ If someone shadowed you for a week, what would they notice you avoid?
Saying no? Boundaries? Visibility? Pricing decisions? Enforcing structures?
Avoidance is information. It points to the next area of growth.

💬 Why this matters
Independent practice isn’t just clinical work—it’s identity, mindset, boundaries, self-worth, and vision.
When you give yourself space to think as the leader of your practice, everything becomes clearer:
• Decisions become easier
• You stop overworking
• You create structure
• You grow with integrity, and respect yourself and your time

🌿 If this resonates…
I’m running a supportive, reflective Mastermind for therapists who want to build a values-led business without burning out or compromising who they are.

It’s not a salesy programme.
It’s a space for clarity, honesty, accountability, and doing the work that transforms everything else.

So many of my coaching clients tell me that they are 'stuck' or have a decision to make. But so often they know exactly what they want...... the difficult part is owning a decision , admitting what you want, especially if it doesn't fit with everyone else's vision of you. This post sums it up so well

Knowing the right move means nothing if you don’t act on it.

Most people aren’t lacking knowledge, they’re lacking ex*****on.

You already know what habits to change, what boundaries to set, what work to start, and what distractions to cut.

But comfort keeps you where you are, convincing you that “later” is a plan.

Clarity isn’t your problem, discipline is.

The life you want is on the other side of doing what you keep avoiding.

Stop waiting for the perfect moment.

Take action and watch the momentum pull you forward.👊💥

A great quote to start the day

🧠🏆 Success starts in your mind, and it’s built in your actions.

Believing in yourself gives you the confidence to chase what others think is impossible.

Discipline and consistency give you the structure to turn that belief into reality.

One without the other isn’t enough. You need both vision and ex*****on.

Belief sets the direction, discipline drives the effort, and consistency ensures the progress compounds.

The formula is simple. Believe, commit, repeat.

Do that long enough, and what once felt impossible becomes inevitable.🔥

Oooooh perfectly put!

The journey to success forces you to grow in ways comfort never will.

Every setback, every challenge, and every hard lesson turns you into someone tougher, wiser, and more capable than you were before.

Most people get obsessed with results and overlook the real reward—the growth that comes from showing up every day, even when it’s hard.

Once you become the person who can handle anything, nothing can hold you back. Success stops being a question and starts being your new normal.💪🔥

I think this really is true, and discomfort can often stop me or cause resistance. If you can keep pushing through the uncomfortable stages, that's where real change and transformation happens. This quote is going on my wall!

I really don't! if something is too achievable, are you pushing yourself?
In my opinion, no you're not setting your sights and ambitions high enough. This isn't a judgement call for those who are happy with how things are going.

But some of us are not happy with modest achievements. Some are super ambitious and have huge dreams, others have no choice, they may be the bread winner or a single parent who NEEDS to achieve more.

So here's a new acronym HUGG Huge Unbelievably Gigantic Goals. Because why aim for something easily achievable?

My next Mastermind is 5th September, I am looking for 3 more ambitious people to join me
