From Employee to Private Practice
Supervision and mentoring for counsellors and allied-health practitioners ready to move from an employed role into a private practice that actually lasts.
Who This Is For
This is for counsellors, therapists, and allied-health practitioners currently working in an employed or contracted role who are ready to move into private practice — but want to do it with a plan, not a leap of faith.
What the 90 Days Covers
Foundations & Readiness — where you’re starting from, sole trader vs. company structure, an honest first look at the numbers, what “successful transition” means for you specifically.
Money & Structure — working with an accountant, GST/tax setup, business banking, real running costs vs. revenue.
Clinical Foundations — sourcing the right supervisor, scope of practice, professional indemnity/liability insurance, registration requirements.
Building Your Client Pipeline — contracts and referral pathways (ACC, EAP, private pay), how you actually get your first clients.
Forecasting & Pacing — realistic first-year income modelling, a sustainable caseload, avoiding over-committing early.
Launch & Safety Net — pre-launch checklist, risk-reduction review, what to do if something goes wrong, options for ongoing support after the 90 days.
Why Learn From Me
I’ve built and run a working private practice myself — including the parts nobody tells you about until you’ve already made the mistake. This isn’t theoretical coaching. It’s mentoring from someone who has already made (and corrected) the decisions you’re about to face.
DAPAANZ registered, accredited supervisor. This mentoring offering sits under my existing supervision accreditation, so you’re working with someone credentialed to supervise, not just advise.
