Hi, I'm Claire

 I am passionate about helping mental health professionals thrive in private practice without experiencing burnout
  • Do you love being a therapist but have no idea how to be a successful entrepreneur?
  • Do you wish you could have ‘great fit’ clients at times that work for you instead of working long unsociable hours?
  • Do you long for financial stability so you can continue doing the thing you love?

I hear you, and I’m here to help! 
LET'S GET STARTED

My Story

I qualified as a CBT therapist back in 2012 and was keen to start a small private practice to supplement the small number of hours I’d secured working in a GP practice.


Back then it was relatively easy to be found by prospective clients.  I decided upon my practice name, set up a Facebook page and even built my own website on yell.  And sure enough, clients began to trickle in.  

Whilst I was delighted and grateful to be getting clients, it came at a cost.


I was:

  • Seeing clients at times that suited them but not me or my family

  • Kicking my husband and two small children out of the house at all hours to accommodate appointments in my home office

  • Saying YES to every single client enquiry, even if it felt ‘off’

  • Charging a rate lower than everyone in my area to try and attract more clients

  • Having no clear cancellation or no-show policy, leaving me regularly out of pocket


Can you relate?

After a year or so of this, I became so jaded by private practice that I abandoned it and earnt my living by working for GP practices, EAP providers and community organisations.

Things began to change around 2018 when I was pursuing further training in an area of interest (hello imposter syndrome again) and this led me to become qualified as an Eating Disorder practitioner.

I finally felt like I had found my calling in this field and began to build a private practice serving clients struggling with Binge Eating Disorder.  And I haven’t looked back.

What I’ve learnt

Over the last 5 years, I have been on such a journey learning how to not only place much greater value on the work I  do as a therapist but also learn all I can about how to get my services found by my dream clients.

I knew how to help people, but I hadn’t a clue how to:

• Build a website

• Connect with my ideal audience

• Find my brand messaging

• Be a copywriter

• Be a social media manager

• Or an email marketer

But I’ve learnt all these things….and made many mistakes along the way!

And now I want to help you build and grow the practice of your dreams, without repeating all my mistakes.

Why work with me?

I have the unique perspective on having already walked the path you are on and can share my learnings and experience with you.  I’m not just a coach or mentor offering cookie-cutter advice, I’m still seeing clients in my practice, I know the struggles you have and I understand your clients.

I offer both practical and strategic guidance to build and grow your private practice and challenge the limiting beliefs that arise around what you think is possible for you.

Because with the right support, you really can have it all.

Are you ready to unlock the life you desire?
