Welcome to the podcast for counsellors and therapists who want to grow a thriving private practice—without selling their soul, pretending to be a TikTok influencer, or using tactics that make their stomach turn.
Hosted by Claire, a straight-talking business and marketing mentor for therapists, this show is your permission slip to build a practice your way—calmly, ethically, and with a CEO mindset that actually feels good.
Whether you're just starting out or scaling up, you'll find:
Honest conversations about what it really takes to grow a private practice
Ethical marketing tips that won’t make you want to hide under a blanket
Mindset reframes to quiet the inner critic and ditch the "I'm not business-minded" story
Practical strategies for content, visibility, niching, and staying booked
And the occasional pep talk when you're wondering if you should just become a florist instead
If you’re done with gimmicks, hacks, and “one-size-fits-all” formulas—and you’d rather build a sustainable, values-led practice that honours your brain, your energy, and your integrity—you’re in the right place.
Pull up a chair. Let’s build a private practice that fits you.

We use the new BACP Ethical Framework as our anchor — the 2026 version, mandatory from 3 November, which addresses AI and digital technology explicitly for the firs...
