One of the questions I hear most from therapists thinking about private practice is:
“Where on earth do I start?”
Because although we’re trained to be therapists, most of us aren’t trained in how to actually set up and run a private practice.
Suddenly there are fees, insurance, policies, contracts, GDPR, therapy rooms, websites, directories, accounting, marketing…and the list can feel endless.
So I’ve recently updated my Getting Started in Private Practice Checklist because Enrolment is open for the next Getting Started in Private Practice Course starting on the 15th Sept so things need an update - have a look at the course here
The checklist is a free download and it’s designed to help you work out what you need to do and, importantly, what you don’t need to worry about yet.
Inside you’ll find prompts covering:
the practical foundations of setting up
deciding what your practice will offer
your workspace and equipment
money, fees and finances
beginning to build your caseload
your next steps
a simple 7-day challenge to get you moving
You don’t have to build your whole private practice in a weekend.
You just need to know what your next step is.

Want some help actually putting it all into practice?
The checklist gives you the what.
My Getting Started in Private Practice Course takes you through the how.
It’s for therapists who want support setting up their practice properly without spending months trying to piece everything together themselves.
I’ll take you through the process step by step — and you’ll also get access to many of the systems, resources and approaches I’ve developed through running my own private practice.
The next course begins 15 September 2026.
