Helping Counsellors and Therapists build a private practice that unlocks the life they desire without experiencing burnout

Claire Feldman - Therapist Business Mentor

Let's get your practice thriving

Do you dream of having a practice that not only supports your clients but also supports the home and business life that you desire?
 
Let me tell you, this is absolutely possible for you. I'm here to show you how and support you along the way.

Is this you?

  • Are you new to private practice and feel overwhelmed at all the steps needed to set up and market your services

  • Perhaps you're longing to leave your employed role but worried about the financial impact

  • Or maybe you've been in your practice a little while but just not seeing the results you’d like

  • You're getting burnt out working for EAPs for pittance and feel there must be a better way to earn a decent income

  • Maybe you feel overwhelmed every time you type ‘How to…’ into google,’ due to all the conflicting advice on building and growing a practice

  • You’ve taken some steps to build a website and social media account, but have given little thought to its content (if you’ve images of stacked pebbles or lotus flowers on your site, I’m looking at you) 

  • Imposter syndrome keeps holding you back from pursuing your goals and leads you into yet ANOTHER CPD course

  • You’ve great ‘outside the box ideas’ for your business but the opinion of others makes you tow the line

  • You yearn for greater financial security but internalised beliefs about your profession and making money stop you charging the rate you want 


I see you, I've BEEN you

You see, as mental health professionals we invest years of our time and eye-watering amounts of money into creating this amazing career……but no one actually taught us how to make it financially viable.

You’ve maybe been told by lecturers or peers that….
 “You don’t become a counsellor to make money”
“You’re here to help people, it’s selfish to expect more”
“People can’t afford therapy”
“People can’t afford your fees”

As Therapists we can often feel conflicted about desiring more from our career when our profession is helping people through difficult mental and emotional issues. I think it’s time that we changed this narrative!

It is both possible to have a wonderful fulfilling career as Therapist AND be fairly compensated for it.  We’re in the business of changing lives and so we need to have greater faith in the value of our services.

My 5 pillar framework

Counsellors and therapists have not invested all this time and money to do this as a hobby, so I am passionate about helping them build and grow their private practices with a business mindset (and still be wonderful and caring people).

I will help you do this through coaching on my 5 pillar framework:

1. Mindset

Overcoming money and mindset blocks that sabotage the chances of success

2. Niching

Clarity on who your ideal client is and how you serve them

3. Marketing

Connecting with your ideal client through clear and intentional messaging and branding

4. Sales

Setting fees and packages that enable you to be the most effective therapist

5. Operations

Streamlining your processes to capitalize on your time

What my clients say...


"I"I’d been aware for a while that I needed to niche, but I didn’t know where to start or how to approach it. Then I attended a seminar Claire ran on niching, and something clicked. Following her advice, I took a leap of confidence and decided to focus on supporting women through the emotional toll of IVF treatment. I was so nervous about making the change, but it’s been 100% worth it..

Her guidance comes from real-world experience. Claire has been there and done it, and genuinely understands the challenges. Her dry sense of humour and down-to-earth approach make it so refreshing, and she completely normalises the idea that it’s okay to want success in the world of counselling. I can’t recommend her enough!" - Gemma
