Book Your PlaceAbout This Workshop
"What does it really take to go out on your own — and how do you do it in a way that feels right?"
Private practice can feel equal parts exciting and daunting. There's so much to figure out — the legal and ethical side, the practical setup, the quiet fears that show up when you're considering taking the leap. This workshop brings it all into the open: grounded, honest conversation led by two experienced practitioners who've been through it themselves. Come curious. Leave clearer.
The Programme
What You'll Explore
Building Your Practice
Understanding self-employment including the legal, ethical, and practical foundations — before, during, and after setup. We cover what you actually need to know, without the overwhelm.
Clarity & Confidence
Working through the common fears, questions, and barriers that come up when you're considering private practice — with honest, grounded guidance from people who've navigated it themselves.
Supportive Community
An interactive space to connect with fellow therapists exploring private practice — ask questions, share concerns, and leave feeling less alone in the process.
