Private Practice Made Simple
Private practice isn’t just a clinical step — it’s a structural, financial, and psychological shift.
This five-session programme is designed to help consultants build a private practice deliberately, confidently, and sustainably — without learning everything the hard way.
It combines:
Lived experience from consultants who’ve done it
Clear systems and governance frameworks
Practical business and financial foundations
Decision-making tools to prevent overload and burnout
Each session builds on the last, mirroring how a practice is actually created.
