How much can I earn as a psychologist or therapist in private practice?
How much can I earn as a psychologist or therapist in private practice?Hello and welcome to the Business of Psychology. Today I'm talking about a subject which will probably make you feel uncomfortable. None of us really like talking about money or the fact that we want it or need it. Those things typically give us the ick, and I'm no exception to that, so expect me to sound awkward today. But the fact is that when you are starting out in any business venture, very often there is a financial gap that you need to fill and there should be a financial aspiration, something that you want to aim for, for yourself, for your family, for whatever your reasons are, for wanting a decent income, and it is nothing to be ashamed of. The fact is, earning money in your independent practice does a lot of good both for you and your personal life, but also for the world in general. But many people going into independent practice, or considering growing their practice, will be asking themselves the question, how much should I expect to earn from this business? And today I'm going to talk a bit about how we might start to answer that question.Full show notes for this episode are available at The Business of PsychologyEpisode Links:Episode 41: How to set your fees in your psychology private practice with “pricing queen” Sally FarrantEpisode 98: The unexpected costs of running a private practiceEpisode 19: How Psychologists And Therapists Can Use An Ideal Client Avatar To Co Create And Market Their ServicesEpisode 158: How to find your ideal clients in 2025: SEO for psychologists and therapists with Chris MorinEpisode 134: Leadership in your Psychology PracticeEpisode 61: Turning a practice into a service with Dr Melanie LeeEpisode 152: Thinking differently about your practice: A tool to put the client firstSubstack: substack.com/@drrosieRosie on Instagram:@rosiegilderthorp@thepregnancypsychologistEvolve and Thrive MastermindAre you a psychologist or therapist with a thriving practice, but you're feeling stuck?

A different type of insurance - Clinical Wills with Anna Bunch
A different type of insurance - Clinical Wills with Anna BunchWelcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. I am thrilled to be here today with my friend and colleague, Anna Bunch, from Psych VA. You might remember Anna, she's been on the podcast before talking to us about the systems and processes that we need to have in place for our independent practices. But for this season, which is all about resilience and adaptability, I just had to get Anna back on to talk about something which I know that she's really passionate about, but to be honest, wasn't at the top of my list when I started in an independent practice. And that is this concept of a clinical will, which is not the right term for it, and we're going to talk about why, but that plan that needs to be in place for if you are incapacitated and can't run your practice anymore. It's a really important area, it's one that I've avoided for the eight years I've been in independent practice, and I'm sure that many of you will also have avoided, but Anna has absolutely convinced me that it's important and something that we all need to address.Full show notes and a transcript of this episode are available at The Business of PsychologyLinks:Links for Anna:Website: psych-va.co.ukClinical Continuity Plans: psych-va.co.uk/clinical-continuity-plansLinks for Rosie:Substack: substack.com/@drrosieRosie on Instagram:@rosiegilderthorp@thepregnancypsychologistThe highlightsAnna talks us about her business, Psych VA, and how it came about 01:23Anna tells us what a clinical will, or rather, a clinical continuity plan is, and why it’s important 04:28I ask Anna about the process of putting clinical continuity plan in place 17:10Anna talks us through the two packages she offers 18:23Anna tells us what sets Psych VA apart in offering this service 20:20

Self care for caregivers with Dr Jenny Turner
Self care for caregivers with Dr Jenny TurnerWelcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. This week I am delighted to be bringing you an interview with Dr Jenny Turner. She is a clinical psychologist like me, and somebody I have the pleasure of knowing personally. Jenny's here today to talk to us about self-care and how to really nurture and look after ourselves as we do the difficult work often of being a mental health professional. This is something that Jenny is really passionate about, so she's a brilliant person to turn to if you find yourself feeling a bit buffeted by the storms that can come along with independent work as a psychologist or therapist, so I hope you're going to find this episode really supportive and restorative.Full show notes and a transcript of this episode are available at The Business of PsychologyLinks:brenebrown.comLinks for Jenny:Instagram: @drjennypsychologistSunstack: mindbodysoulpsychology.substack.comWebsite: www.mindbodysoulpsychology.co.ukLinks for Rosie:Substack: substack.com/@drrosieRosie on Instagram:@rosiegilderthorp@thepregnancypsychologistThe highlightsJenny talks about what she does in her independent practice 01:30I ask Jenny how her career wound up here 09:44Jenny talks about how she was blindsided by changes around pregnancy, motherhood and perimenopause 14:44Jenny tells us about the Brene Brown shame resilience training she did 25:56I ask Jenny why she thinks therapists and psychologists are reluctant to come forward for help? 34:08Jenny talks about what she thinks good support for therapists looks like and how people can work with her to improve their self-care 45:34Jenny tells us how we can find her 53:00

How to find your ideal clients in 2025: SEO for psychologists and therapists with Chris Morin
How to find your ideal clients in 2025: SEO for psychologists and therapists with Chris MorinWelcome to The Business of Psychology podcast. The first episode of this brand new season of The Business of Psychology is a recording of the free webinar that I held with Chris Morin from Moonraker. Chris is an online marketing expert with tons of experience and a particular passion for helping psychologists and therapists get found by the right clients. I chose this to be our first episode because the trends I see as most threatening to independent practice in the short term are changes to the way that search engines work. This workshop with Chris is all about the simple strategies and steps that we can take now to make sure that we are the people that get found by the people that need us, rather than the generic platforms.Full show notes and a transcript of this episode are available at The Business of PsychologyEpisode Links:Episode 103: Why you should specialise – old gold that is still importantEpisode 128: Who are you helping?

Are you a mental health professional with a feeling in the pit of your stomach that the system is BROKEN?
Did you start your training full of ideas about changing the landscape of mental health for the better but now you find you are so busy seeing people in crisis that you don't have time to do any of it?
Do you KNOW that we need to get out of our therapy rooms and start reaching people in other ways? Do you KNOW that the key to better mental health is prevention not crisis management?
If you do then join me for a mix practical skills, strategies and inspirational interviews with psychologists and therapists just like you who are using their skills to do BIG things way beyond the therapy room.
Prepare to get your "trainee spirit" back.
