When you train as a therapist, running your own business might not have been something you envisioned. Therapy training equips us with the skills to support clients, but it often leaves little room to prepare for the reality of setting up and managing a private practice.
The result? When you start thinking about making your dream a reality, it can feel like navigating a minefield. Questions about legal requirements, financial planning, and building a client base can quickly become overwhelming and confusing.
If you’re hesitating because you’re unsure about the what and how of starting your practice, The “Getting Started in Private Practice Course” is designed with you in mind.
This course is your roadmap designed to help you confidently start running your private practice. You’ll be guided by someone who’s walked this path before and understands the unique challenges and opportunities of creating a values-led, sustainable business as a therapist. Led by therapist Sarah Rees, who has run a fully booked therapy practice for over a decade, Sarah focuses on seeing self-funded clients and is the author of “The Therapist’s Guide to Private Practice- Building a Values-Based Practice”(out now order here).
This course is your compass for navigating the complexities of establishing a thriving practice. Sarah’s expertise, coupled with her recent writing for Routledge, ensures that you’re in capable hands.
Sarah’s aim is to help you build a resilient, sustainable, and profitable business that you run with confidence, one that runs smoothly so that you can focus on what you love to do the most: delivering effective and transformative therapy to your clients who need it the most.

"I can't pin point one aspect over another as the content overall is excellent. Sarah offered both personal and professional advice which was really relatable in the way in which she delivered it. There were plenty opportunities to ask questions and the course material/resources are going to be invaluable. The course offered all the things I would never have thought about, such as, a therapeutic will!"
"It's hard to pick one thing! The whole structure of the live sessions and the online content that supported these have been invaluable. As I'm only just starting out, information on what to include on my website and developing my business strategy as well as getting to grips with the legal matters has all been really helpful."
"Informative, thought provoking, no frills with lots of useful evidence. Worth every penny and would definitely recommend to any therapist thinking about private practice."
"It's given me the practical and professional knowledge to begin building my business plan and certainly more confidence to dip my toe in the waters of private practice."

I think Therapists Corner is brilliant, especially for people like me who have only worked for the NHS and need guidance on what to do next/ figuring out how to make this a reality."
