Business Mentoring for Therapists
Building a Practice with Clarity & Ease

You’ve done the training, finished your placement hours, and you’re ready to step into the world as a counsellor or therapist. You love the work itself – holding space, supporting clients, doing the therapy. But when it comes to setting up your practice, you feel a little lost.

Where do you even begin? How do you move from student to practitioner, or from employee to business owner, without it all feeling overwhelming?

That’s where I come in. I mentor new and emerging therapists at the very start of their journey – helping you set clear foundations, align your practice with your life and values, and grow your confidence as a business owner.

Together, we’ll create a practice that feels authentic, sustainable, and life-giving, from the ground up.

My Approach to Mentoring

Just like counselling, professional mentoring with me is gentle, practical, and centred on you. I believe building a therapy practice should bring clarity, confidence, and ease – not burnout.

To guide this, I share the same framework I use in my counselling work: EASE – Explore, Align, Strengthen, Engage.

The EASE Framework for Therapists

Starting your own practice can feel exciting — but also overwhelming. There are so many moving parts, and it’s easy to lose sight of why you wanted to do this work in the first place.

That’s why I use the EASE framework as a simple, flexible guide for mentoring. It’s not about ticking boxes or following someone else’s formula. Instead, it helps you stay grounded, build confidence step by step, and create a practice that truly reflects you and the way you want to work.

EXPLORE

Get clear on your unique strengths, values, and natural way of working.

We’ll uncover what makes you different as a practitioner, so your practice feels authentic, aligned, and true to you.

ALIGN

Shape your practice around what matters most – your vision, your lifestyle, and the kind of clients you want to support.

Together we’ll notice where things already feel in step, and where small shifts can bring more balance and ease.

STRENGTHEN

Grow your confidence and build the practical skills that matter – from pricing and boundaries to marketing and client flow.

This is where you strengthen the backbone of your practice, so it can carry you for the long term.

ENGAGE

Bring your ideas to life.

Step into your practice with more steadiness, clarity, and presence – creating a business that not only supports your clients, but sustains and energises you.

Why Work With Me

I understand the realities of starting and running a practice. I know what it’s like to juggle clients, admin, family life, and still want a business that feels meaningful. My approach is practical and encouraging, grounded in both professional knowledge and lived experience.
