I’m Jane and I’m an ex counsellor that now works with other counsellors to grow their private practice, hence the name of the show. I’m the author of the Grow Your Private Practice book and also run the Grow Your Private Practice Club, where counsellors can get together and learn all about marketing Okay, that’s the official stuffy 'about me' bit out of the way, because honestly, it’s so much more than that. The truth is, the thing that really drives me, is helping people - people like you - to get more freedom and choice into your life so can work when you want to, how you want to and with the issues that you’re passionate about. And importantly, to get paid properly to do so. Because you have the freedom and choice to run a thriving practice whilst also creating a fulfilling life for both yourself and your family. If you want that too, please click subscribe. I hope you enjoy listening.

Forcing yourself to do something you hate is NOT the way to do something well. It's possible to enjoy your marketing, and when you enjoy your marketing, you do it more, get better at it and as a result, it's more effective. Which means more clients, better outcomes and increased income. So you not only enjoy your marketing but naturally get the results you want. Don't believe me - then listen up, and I'll show you how.

    I thoroughly enjoyed training to be a therapist, and couldn't wait to start a practice of my own. But once I became qualified, I realised how uncomfortable it felt to do the marketing necessary to attract clients. How could I promote myself whilst staying within personal disclosure boundaries?How could I be visible without it compromising my client work?And now that my business is all about helping other therapists to grow their practice, I am aware of them going through exactly the same difficulties.So today, I chat with Lindsey Bryan-Podvin about these conflicts that arise and we talk about how therapy training can hold you back as a private practitioner - and what you can do to market yourself effectively while not crossing any ethical boundaries. In this episode, we cover:How our training as therapists makes it difficult to trust ourselves How our training makes it hard to feel comfortable marketing ourselvesTips to cultivate self-trust in and out of the therapy roomHow a niche (and my seedling niche) can help attract the kind of clients and issues that you feel passionately aboutWhat you can do to market yourself effectively while not crossing any ethical boundaries.How to be visible without compromising your client workThe importance of the Therapeutic AllianceI hope this opens up an area to explore, because the more comfortable you are with marketing, the more successful that marketing will be.

Because podcasting is massive.And since the pandemic, 40% more people listen - so that's around 19.1 million in the UK, and globally a massive 464.7 million. That's mindblowing! I started my own podcast on 8th July 2020 and this is episode 137 - with the majority being weekly until January this year when unfortunately my dad became ill and died, so I've reduced it to fortnightly for a while.And I've seen how it's benefited my business in many ways. Not only that, it's fun to do! I've interviewed some amazing guests, including todays guest Phil from My Podcast Assistant, who is my podcast editor. So if you've ever considered starting a podcast and like the thought of helping people whilst also growing your business - and increasing your income, then this is your lucky day.
