Hello, so glad you are here!
Welcome to Therapists’ Corner – a community for therapists setting up and building value-led private practices, working with self-funding clients, and looking to achieve consistent 5K+ monthly earnings.
Remember the days of the staff room, a place to share ideas, bounce ideas off colleagues, collaborate and get answers to those business questions that pop up each day? Well, ‘Therapist Corner’ is here to hit that spot.
