Turn your dream of your own private practice into a reality
Private practice is the fastest growing sector in our profession. With limited jobs and employment squeezes, more and more therapists are taking the plunge into setting up their own practice and why not?
Working in your own private practice brings so many benefits:
- autonomy of working practice
- flexible hours and lifestyle
- working with clients in the way you want
- developing different income streams
- upscaling or downscaling your workload
- having choice and control in your working life
But making a successful transition into private work can be daunting and not everyone makes it. My Private Practice can support you in every aspect of setting up your own practice. Based on a therapeutic coaching approach, your 1:1 sessions can offer you tailored advice and guidance to support with any aspect of setting up or building your practice, from the set-up stages through to developing a thriving business.
Run by a qualified therapist, supervisor and mentor with over 20 years’ experience to share, our bespoke support will help you overcome all the fears and obstacles which have been holding you back.
Blended Supervision to meet all your clinical and professional needs
Supervision is one of our favourite activities as therapists. Good supervision gives you the chance to talk about your clients, the way you are working, the stuff that is bringing up for you and how you can learn and grow from all your working experiences.
Clinical supervision is at the heart of your work, keeping you on track professionally, ethically and working to best practice guidance. But the relationship with your supervisor should also be able to support your development and career and that could mean going in new directions and taking on challenges like tackling your accreditation or moving into starting up your own private practice.
Blended supervision is an approach which can offer you a little bit of everything. Working with a therapist with over 20 years’ experience, you will be encouraged to think about your career as a whole and the direction it is taking. What benefits could accreditation bring? Would you like to start working with just a few private clients and start making the transition into running your own practice? Are there new areas you would like to train in and add into your model?
What My Private Practice Could Do For You
Margaret started working with Alex when she realised she wanted guidance beyond clinical skills. She was looking to complete her BACP accreditation and to develop her private practice.
“While my previous supervisor provided valuable clinical insights, I was motivated to find a supervisor who could offer a more comprehensive approach to my professional development. I chose to work with Alex because of her expertise in accreditation support and private practice building which are crucial for my long-term career goals. Her ability to integrate these aspects into our supervision sessions was a key factor in my decision to change supervisor.”
Alex and Margaret worked together on her accreditation application over several months, weaving in clinical supervision which supported the case material part of the accreditation.
“Alex’s guidance in navigating the accreditation process was instrumental in helping me achieve this important milestone. The structured support and encouragement you provided not only helped me meet the necessary requirements but also deepened my understanding of best practices and professional standards. This experience has significantly enhanced my confidence and competence as a practitioner. Achieving accreditation was a pivotal moment in my career, and Alex’s support was crucial in making it possible. I am truly grateful for the dedication and expertise she brought to this process, which has had a lasting impact on my professional journey.”
The blended approach of supervision addressed both the clinical work and the accreditation and started looking at where and how Margaret was working with multiple agencies and referral companies.
“Each area received the right amount of focus, and I felt that the time we dedicated to each was well-proportioned based on my evolving needs. Even when we were working on accreditation or private practice matters, I felt adequately supported with my clinical work. Alex’s ability to integrate these areas ensured that I was growing as a clinician while also preparing for the broader demands of my career. Overall, the balanced approach not only met my immediate needs but also helped me build a strong foundation for the future.”
With the milestone of accreditation successfully achieved, it opened up other possibilities for work and the focus in supervision shifted to consolidating these into a private practice which met her professional, personal and lifestyle goals. Over time, Margaret has built a thriving practice and is thoroughly enjoying her new way of working and the confidence it has given her.
“Alex has a remarkable way of nudging me forward, whether through her insightful feedback, sharing her own experiences, or simply offering words of encouragement when I needed them most. This consistent support helped me stay focused and confident, even when faced with challenges. Her belief in my abilities and commitment to my success instilled a sense of determination in me. It made a tremendous difference, not only in completing my accreditation but also in building my private practice. One of the key benefits of her approach to supervision is the ability to tailor our sessions to address immediate needs while also keeping long-term goals in mind. This flexibility allows for a more personalised and adaptive learning experience, which I have found incredibly valuable.”
