THRIVE IN PRIVATE PRACTICE: COACHING, COURSES & PAPERWORK FOR THERAPISTS

Businesses in Bloom: Building a Practice as an Eating Disorder Specialist

Businesses in Bloom episode 55

In this interview with Juliet Austin, I talk about my experiences being in therapy, which led me to return to school to become a therapist and an eating disorder specialist. I share with Juliet about my two successful practices in the UK and Australia and how I manage a wait list in my Sydney practice. I also discuss my business practices and how I split my time as a therapist, blogger, and full-time mum.

I would like to say thank you so much for today. I came thinking I was going in one direction and left in another - it feels so much more congruent.
Counsellor, Sydney
I contacted Jodie because I read one of her blogs about how she turned her practice around. Even though I am completely green to the world of online presence, I left our session feeling like I have a good idea about where I need to go – first step new website!
