Hi, I’m Jodie, Private Practice Business Coach & Clinical Supervisor Supporting Therapists Across Australia.
I help counsellors and psychotherapists build thriving, profitable and sustainable private practices from the inside out.
I launched The Psychosynthesis Centre after 20 years of private counselling, coaching and psychotherapy practice, and provide training, private practice business coaching, supervision, resources and tools to help counsellors and therapists add depth, creativity and meaning to their private practices.
I also love to help therapists promote the gifts of counselling and psychotherapy via my Facebook groups, Opening the Door on Private Practice, Psychotherapy in Australia and Counsellors Connect – Australia.
About Me
With 25+ years in private practice, I’m the founder of The Psychosynthesis Centre, Trauma Warriors, The Soul Sessions with Jodie Gale Podcast andJodie Gale Soul Centred-Therapy for Women , and an Etsy shop creating resources for therapists in private practice.
I am a member of the PACFA College of Supervision, a PACFA Certified Clinical Supervisor, Private Practice Business Coach, Trainer, Facilitator, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and an Eco-Psycho-Spiritual Registered Clinical Psychotherapist® on the Northern Beaches of Sydney & Australia-wide online.
I was blessed to train in Psychosynthesis in London. My lived experience, the personal work I undertook and the 8 year personal and professional commitment to becoming a psychotherapeutic counsellor and psychotherapist is the foundation of my private practice success. I am one of only a few formerly trained in, and the only Masters qualified Psychosynthesis psychotherapist in Australia. I am excited to be bringing this transpersonal, psycho-spiritual and soulful model to private practice business coaching, clinical supervision and continued professional development to counsellors and psychotherapists in Australia.
I have built two successful Medicare and insurance free, private pay, private practices – one in London and one at home in Sydney. My private practice in Sydney consistently ran at 18 clients a week. Nowadays, I work part-time in private practice and part-time running private practice business coaching and clinical supervision sessions, as well as continued professional development for therapists online around Australia.
My work has been featured in global counselling and psychotherapy blogs, psychotherapy journals, PsychCentral, The World of Psychology, Private Practice Toolbox, Businesses In Bloom, Australia Counselling, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Journal of Australia (PACJA), CAPA Quarterly Counselling Journal, Recovery Warriors, Australian WellBeing, Australian Yoga Journal, MammaMia, The Manly Daily, ABC & 2UE Radio.
