I’m Sarah Rees — CBT, EMDR, and Compassion Focused Therapist, supervisor, author of A Therapist’s Guide to Private Practice, and creator of the Getting Started in Private Practice course.
Remember the days of the staff room—a place to share ideas, ask questions, collaborate, and get support from colleagues? Therapist's Corner is designed to bring that same sense of connection to your business life, along with a weekly reminder to work on your business, not just in it so that you can achieve a fully booked caseload with self-funding clients. It’s where therapists in private practice gather to learn, grow, and build sustainable, profitable and ethical private practices. It’s the next step after reading the book or taking the course.
We want this community to be to your business what supervision is to your clinical world—a place of support, reflection, and guidance.
Being a Free member is perfect for the private therapy practice curious, early in your business journey, and figuring out if it is right for you.
When you are ready, the next step is the roadmap, the perfect done-for-you solution
Then continue in our community, surrounding yourself with people who genuinely care about doing good work—and doing it well. You’re in the company of therapists who are not only clinically skilled but also committed to building rewarding practices that reflect their values and gives them the perfect work-life balance without burnout.
To make it easier for you, I have organised everything under headings. Please take a look here…..
There’s also an active chat function inside Therapist’s Corner, where you can ask questions at any time—I’ll personally respond, and you’ll often hear from other therapists too. It’s a space for honest conversations, gentle accountability, and shared wisdom.
