  • Building a diverse and successful associate practice in 2025 with Dr Esther Cole
    Building a diverse and successful associate practice in 2025 with Dr Esther ColeWelcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. Today I'm joined by Dr Esther Cole, the clinical director and founder of Lifespan Psychology, which is a proudly diverse and thriving associate practice. She's here today to talk to us about what it takes to build a thriving associate practice, particularly in the more challenging context we find ourselves in in 2025. This is a must listen if you are somebody that is thinking about building your team and expanding your impact through associate work. Esther is also an impressive psychologist in her own right. In 2020 she won the BPS Early Career Award for a book that she initiated and co-edited on pediatric acquired brain injury. Esther has a great passion for helping people who may not always feel confident to come forward for therapy and may not always be well served by the therapy on offer, and that's part of the reason that she set up her podcast ‘Breaking Through Therapy’, which I think is amazing.Full show notes and a transcript of this episode are available at The Business of PsychologyReferences:10x Is Easier than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing Less by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy We Should All Be Millionaires: A Woman’s Guide to Earning More, Building Wealth, and Gaining Economic Power by Rachel Rodgers Links for Esther:Breaking Through Therapy Podcast: www.lifespanpsychology.co.uk/podcastBOSS: www.lifespanpsychology.co.uk/coachingWebsite: www.lifespanpsychology.co.ukLinkedIn: Dr Esther ColeInstagram: @lifespan_psychologyFacebook: Lifespan Psychology - The Diverse PracticeLinks for Rosie:Substack: substack.com/@drrosieRosie on Instagram:@rosiegilderthorp@thepregnancypsychologistThe highlightsEsther tells us about her podcast, Breaking Through Therapy 01:20Esther tells us about herself and her career, and how she came to set up an associate practice 02:39Esther talks about the most common mistakes she’s come across in associate practice 16:12 I ask Esther how we can encourage dedication from our associates 20:29We discuss recruitment and how to find the right people for your practice 26:42We talk about the skills you have to develop as a manager 34:10I remind people to listen to the Breaking Through Therapy podcast...

  • Financial planning in Private Practice with Anna Gooch
    Financial planning in Private Practice with Anna GoochWelcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. I'm really excited to be here with Anna Gooch. Anna is a unique individual with a fantastic background in financial planning, and also a counsellor with a lot of passion for supporting people with their mental health. This is a fantastic combination to have, and we're going to talk about Anna's personal story, where her passion comes from, but also about how we might support clients who are going through financial difficulties; we all know that many of our clients go through financial difficulties during their time with us. And then finally, about how we might look after ourselves financially, because most people listening to this will be independent psychologists or therapists, and we often don't have the most robust financial plan in place.Full show notes and a transcript of this episode are available at The Business of PsychologyLinks for Anna:LinkedIn: Anna GoochEmail: [email protected] for Rosie:Substack: substack.com/@drrosieRosie on Instagram:@rosiegilderthorp@thepregnancypsychologistThe highlightsAnna tells us about her career and how she ended up being a counsellor and financial advisor 1:18We discuss the shame and embarrassment people feel when talking about money 10:35Anna talks about why her niche is working with counsellors 21:31Anna takes us through what she looks at with a client, including insurance and pensions 29:10I ask Anna what a first good step is, if you’re feeling overwhelmed 33:00Anna explains what a lasting power of attorney is 35:46I ask Anna if we should consolidate our NHS pension with other pots 38:05Anna explains how how working with a financial advisor works 40:21Anna tells us how we can get in touch with her 43:22Evolve and Thrive MastermindAre you a psychologist or therapist with a thriving practice, but you're feeling stuck?

  • Tools for effective and resilient private practice
    Tools for effective and resilient private practiceWelcome to The Business of Psychology podcast. Today we're talking about AI tools. I wanted to update the list of helpful tools that I created a couple of years back, because AI has come in and made such a big difference to the way that most of us are running our practices. If you're not using AI tools yet, it's probably something that you've been thinking about and wanting to explore, so this podcast is an update to the podcast that I made a couple of years ago on the tools of private practice. I've handily combined both of these episodes together into a PDF ebook that you can download and get all the hyperlinks to all the tools that I recommend for every type of task in your practice.Full show notes for this episode are available at The Business of PsychologyLinks/references:PDF eBook: Essential Private Practice ToolkitEpisode Links:Episode 92: What tools do I need to run my practice?Episode 158: How to find your ideal clients in 2025: SEO for psychologists and therapists with Chris MorinEpisode 162: Using AI in therapy and other legal questions with Clare Veal from Aubergine LegalLegal Packs:Legal Essentials: Contracts, Policies and ProcessesLegal essentials for working with children and young people in independent practiceLinks for Rosie:Substack: substack.com/@drrosieRosie on Instagram:@rosiegilderthorp@thepregnancypsychologistEvolve and Thrive MastermindAre you a psychologist or therapist with a thriving practice, but you're feeling stuck?
