Creating your Private Practice

A creative writing programme to help you envision, shape, and develop your private therapy practice

About the programme

Creating Your Private Practice is a structured programme of creative writing exercises designed to help you reflect on and develop your therapeutic practice.

We use writing to help you:

  • Envision and clarify your goals

  • Identify your strengths, skills, and areas of interest

  • Explore blocks, doubts, or uncertainties

  • Connect reflective insight with practical planning

  • Move towards a clearer, more sustainable way forward

The emphasis is on insight, clarity, and direction, using creativity as a tool for professional development.

Is this for you?

This programme may be helpful if you are:

  • Starting out in private practice as a counsellor or psychotherapist

  • Recently qualified, or soon to qualify

  • Struggling to attract enough clients or build a sustainable income

  • Feeling isolated as a sole practitioner

  • Curious about using creative approaches to explore your practice and direction

If so, this course could be a good fit for you.
