I am a fully qualified Senior Accredited Counsellor and Supervisor with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). I qualified as a counsellor in 2005 and as a supervisor in 2009.

My counselling training was with Persona Counselling in Scotland, and my supervision training was with PCT Britain.

I have previously been a Senior Accredited Counsellor with the BACP.

My Live Events and recorded webinars are endorsed by the NCPS as online quality checked CPD Training events.

Since qualifying, I have set up three counselling services. Two of them are in my local community and to date, they still make a huge difference to the local people who use the services.

These counselling services also became placement opportunities for trainee counsellors and are still recognised by the universities as good placement opportunities for students in training.

I also set up my own private practice in 2008. My private practice has grown through two recessions and a pandemic, and I have never paid a penny for advertising. In my role as a supervisor, I regularly support trainees at the end of their training to set up their own counselling services.

It truly is an honour to be part of this experience with them.  I know without a shadow of a doubt I have the skills and expertise to help you set up your own private practice.

I also have an online business where I train and support counsellors to set up in private practice. I lecture to universities and Onlinevents about setting up in private practice.

My Live Events and Webinars are endorsed by the
NCPS as online quality checked CPD Training events.

If you are a qualified counsellor looking to set up in private practice, this is the place to be.

You will be supported, encouraged and guided throughout the process.

If you are a qualified counsellor and would like a bit of help with your marketing I can support you with this too.

I offer recorded Webinars that cover everything you need to know to get your counselling service started and to help you Create your Policies.

I offer a Practice Ready resource package where we explore everything from the Webinars in a much deeper way. There are downloadable templates of policies in the resource package too. We explore marketing in a big way in the resource package.

I offer a monthly online Drop-in Group where you can ask me anything about your private practice.

I offer a Marketing Review. This is for counsellors who are already up and running with their business and would like to increase the number of enquiries they are getting. I will check your marketing to see if there are any gaps.

I also facilitate online events where I offer a workshop to set up in private practice.

I also offer a Power Hour where you and I can get together to carve out a plan to set up your private practice.

Finally, I offer a VIP Exclusive Access package where I support you fully for six months as you launch your private practice.

There are two webinars on my website. One called Getting Started and one called Creating your Policies - where do you even begin? The webinars are 45 minutes long and are delivered to your inbox as soon as you purchase them. They provide information to get your private practice off the ground and information to help you start creating your policies.

Do you just wish you had a space where you could ask questions about setting up in Private Practice? Would you like to have a space where you could learn some tips and tricks about getting started? Join my Monthly Drop-In! It's a relaxed, no-pressure Zoom call where you can ask anything, get advice, and hear practical insights about setting up in private practice. Whether you're stuck on a specific issue or just need some guidance, this is your chance to connect, learn, and move forward with confidence. Once you have purchased the product you will be sent a Zoom link with the details of the call on it. If you can't make the call live there will be a recording for people who have purchased a ticket. The call will happen the first Thursday of the month from 10 am- 11 am.

This is where the magic happens.  Here you will have access to my full resource package. This is set up so you learn at your own pace. You are free to work through the course at your leisure. This might mean you want to take your time, or it may be that you want to whizz through it. The course whilst it is full of knowledge and information will require you to stop and think about how you want to move your counselling practice forward. 

There are lots of reflections and things to consider when you set up a counselling service. There are practical things for you to do along the way.  A flavour of the topics in the package are – Marketing, Policies, and Pricing and all of these topics will be covered in depth. These are huge topics and I discuss them thoroughly. There will also be downloadable templates for the policies which will help you get started. You will be free to make them your own so that they fit your counselling service.

Once you have signed up for the Practice Ready resource package, you automatically get THREE months of free access to my Monthly Online Drop-in call. This happens the first Thursday of the month from 10 am -11 am. If you cannot make the call there will be a recording available for you. Once your three months of drop-in calls are finished you are welcome to pay for and join any drop-in calls thereafter. The Practice Ready resource package is great value for money. You get the full package and three months of support from me! You will be Practice Ready when you have finished this resource.

Well, the short answer is you don’t.  If you are like me though and you want to find everything in one easy place and lots of support then you have come to the right place. The resource package has been set up in such a way that the order of topics flows in order from the very first thing you need to think about to when you secure your first client. 

If you sign up for my Practice Ready resource package, you get an automatic three month entry to my monthly online Drop-in clinics. In the drop in clinic you will get a chance to ask me anything about your private practice. You will get access to my expertise. I will be active in this group once a month to answer any questions you may have.

The question is why wouldn’t you sign up for my Practice Ready resource package?

You can be based anywhere in the world to access my resources. The package is online, and you work through the content at your leisure.

The content will be relevant for anyone, anywhere in the world to help you set up your private practice.

In the Marketing Review, I will send you a form for you to complete. Once you return the form to me I will review your marketing within ten days. I will then email you a written report and make any suggestions about any gaps in your marketing that I might have found. I will cover any websites, social media, directory listings and adverts that you might have. You are free to implement any suggestions I make.

This is an INCREDIBLE package. You will have a huge amount of support from me directly. I will support you from the beginning stages to launching your business.
