Business coaching for professional counsellors and therapists with Ali:
Grow your own successful private practice, your way
Before you go any further…
Are you:
a qualified counsellor who’s tired of working for EAPs and/or counselling charities & organisations, where the pay is non-existent, super-low and/or you have to wait AGES for it to come?
day-dreaming of running things your way?
feeling limited by the organisation you currently work for and feeling restricted in the care you can provide?
longing to work with clients you can help properly, and earn good money from doing work you love?
overwhelmed by all the other aspects involved in making your private practice a real, breathing business - things like getting new counselling clients, setting up your insurance, creating a social media presence and getting paid for your work?
…Then this is kind of perfect for you.
Private Practice Pro is a 1 to 1 coaching programme for qualified counsellors who want to create their own private practice but feel lost in the admin and overwhelm of making it all work.
Whether you’re brand new to private practice, or have been going a while (but it isn't quite working out like you thought it all would), Private Practice Pro is designed to help you dare to dream.
To help you create a private practice that attracts and serves the clients you love to work with, while helping you find a work/life balance to meet your needs.
“Every time I talk to Ali about my private practice I come away buzzing, with a million ideas! She helps me feel like anything is possible! Like I really can DO this! And I am doing it! I’m doing what I love, helping clients change their lives and at the same time, it’s changing my life too! Thank you, Ali!”
While you’re clearly amazing at the therapy and counselling side of things, counsellors aren’t trained to market themselves… and that’s kind of a problem when you’re trying to run a business.
We’re trained to work for peanuts, or for free, and to depend on organisations that take much more than they give. Basically, we’re taught to have the money mindset of a nun. And that ain’t good!
You deserve better.
And that’s what Private Practice Pro is pretty much all about.
I want to help you:
Work out what you want your private practice to be. We set the vision, lay it all out on the table, so you know what you’re aiming for.
Get butts in seats. Helping you to pin down who you want to work with so you attract clients you genuinely enjoy. Oh, and get paid good money for your work, too!
Put the pieces together on how to set it up and make that a thing. I’m talking about the practical elements that can feel like a stress- your insurance, your tax, staying on top of your admin, and handling assessments.
Make use of networking opportunities so you get used to putting yourself out there without feeling salesy or like you’re doing something ‘wrong’.
Establish a social media presence (if that’s how you want to market your business).
Navigate this unfamiliar territory. Building a business can be lonely, it can feel like you’re on your own. You’re not. I’ll be in your corner every step of the way, cheering you on as you create a private practice that feels like ‘you’.
“Our teachers at counselling college are famous for telling us that we will never make a living as counsellors - that it’s a vocation, and that we shouldn’t expect to make a good living from it. Ali helped me to realise that this is not true and that I can create a private practice that is a force for good in the world and actually pays my bills. Phew!”
A 10 week programme to help you make your dream of running a successful private practice a reality. A beast of a business, alive with purpose, something that makes you great money from helping great clients…with you at the centre of every decision.
Your business. Your way.
How do you know, Ali?
What do you know about all this?
It’s a fair question. And one I’m really proud to answer.
Because I’ve been in your shoes.
Tired of working for free.
Tired of battling with broken-down systems that always ask way more of you than they’ll ever give back to you.
Being told by senior colleagues and teachers that ‘you’ll never make a living in private practice’.
Which is, of course, completely untrue.
Becoming a self-employed counsellor and opening my own private practice was the best decision I ever made - spiritually, emotionally and financially.
If you want it, you’re going to have to carve it out for yourself.
That’s what I did and now I can help you do it too.
Hit me with the cost… What’s the investment?
Private Practice Pro starts from £1500
What’s the time commitment like?
A one hour session per fortnight PLUS time spent in between sessions for you to do whatever is required of you to set up and get your business running. Plenty of time for action without feeling like you’re running around non-stop.
NB: Allow for a minimum of 1 hour per day for your business set-up time (this has the potential to increase as the programme progresses)
You can do the same purposeful, powerful work for your clients AND build a successful and profitable practice at the same time. But you’ve got to know how to do that. And that’s where I’d love to help.
Book a free chat- let’s have a proper conversation about what’s going on for you and then you can decide if I’m the right person to help you grow.
Or maybe DON’T…
And if you KNOW you don’t want to do all the marketing, website building, social-media-mogulling and all that jazz, and you’re a qualified, expeirenced therapist, who’s passionate about supporting clients to create lasting, positive change… maybe you’d like to apply to be an associate counsellor with Ali Harris Therapy & Co?
