    Jul 3 2025

    Repurposing your content is supposed to make marketing easier… but does it ever feel like more work?

    You’re not alone.

    • Turn one piece of content into several without it sounding the same
    • Avoid the common mindset blocks that keep therapists stuck in content overwhelm
    • Show up consistently on Instagram without burning out
    • Make peace with reusing your own brilliant ideas (because yes, you absolutely can!)

  • The Quiet Power of Blogging for Introverted Counsellors
    Jun 26 2025

    Ever feel like marketing is made for loud, confident people – and definitely not for introverts like you?

    You’re not alone. And you don’t have to fake it or force it to get found by more clients.

    In this episode, I’m talking about how blogging can be a calm, confidence-building way to market your private practice, especially if visibility makes you want to hide under a blanket.

    We’ll explore how blogging:

    • Plays to your strengths as an introverted counsellor
    • Helps you get found without having to be constantly ‘on’
    • Builds trust and connection – without burning you out
    • Can make marketing feel more natural (and less like you’re “doing it wrong”)

    So if the thought of producing videos for social media makes you break out in hives, but you do want to grow your practice in a way that feels good, this one’s for you.

  • How to Keep Your Practice Going When Life Gets Messy, with Laura from Worditude
    Jun 19 2025

    Running a business as a counsellor is never simple, but what about when life throws you even more to carry?

    In this honest conversation, I’m joined by Laura Robinson, a marketing mentor and copywriter who’s grown a thriving practice while parenting neurodivergent kids, managing chronic health challenges, and tuning out hustle-culture noise.

    Laura shares her Suit Yourself First philosophy: where your business and marketing flex around you, not the other way around.

    We talk about:

    • How to keep your therapy practice going when energy is low
    • What comfy marketing really means, and why it works
    • Letting go of the “shoulds” that keep you stuck
    • That infamous moment someone told Laura she was “upper limiting”
    • Real self-care that isn’t just bubble baths and candles

    If you're a counsellor navigating work and real life - grief, burnout, overwhelm, or just general messiness- this episode offers validation, calm, and a new way forward.

    Expect honesty, humour, and the reassurance you didn’t know you needed.

    About Laura

    Laura is an online marketing mentor and experienced digital copywriter.

    Over the last 10 years, she has helped hundreds of business owners create and sell 1-1 services, courses, memberships, and group programs.

    She’s taught thousands of people around the world through the copywriting training she created for international business organisations including Female Entrepreneur Association, Enterprise Nation, and Membership Academy.

    She is also the author of the Comfy Business Playbook, and the creator of the Comfy Business Newsletter for people who want a business that flexes around their other life challenges, priorities, and adventures.

    She champions a Suit Yourself First approach to marketing, where decisions are based on what the business owner wants, rather than guessing the preferences of a hypothetical ideal client.

  • Stop Chasing Clients: How to Get Found by Your Ideal Therapy Clients
    May 29 2025

    If you’re a therapist, you probably didn’t train to become a marketer or to feel like you’re in some sort of marketing talent show, trying to prove yourself to everyone.

    The whole idea of “attracting clients” can feel… off. Like you’re tap dancing for attention, competing with other therapists, and constantly performing.

    But here’s the good news: you don’t have to.

    Today, I’m sharing a small but powerful mindset shift that can make marketing feel easier and more aligned with your values. No convincing, no manipulation, no performance.

    Let’s talk about shifting from attracting clients to simply getting found by the people who already need you.

    What We’ll Cover:

    💛 Why “attracting clients” feels so uncomfortable for therapists

    💛 The common fears around visibility and marketing

    💛 The subtle manipulation in traditional marketing and why it doesn’t sit well

    💛 How shifting to getting found by therapy clients changes everything

    💛 Real-life examples to help you feel the difference

    💛 Simple, practical ways to start getting found without feeling salesy or pushy

    💛 Why blogging is a perfect fit for therapists wanting to build trust and visibility

    Key Takeaways:

    ✅ You’re already enough, you don’t have to prove or perform

    ✅ Getting found is about trust, not tactics

    ✅ Visibility fear is real, but you can show up in a way that feels safe and authentic

    ✅ Marketing doesn’t have to be manipulative; it can be a gentle, human way to serve and connect

  • A Therapist’s Guide to Creative Journaling, with Julie Kuhn
    May 15 2025

    We all know journaling can be a powerful tool for reflection and healing but what if the words just won’t come? Or what if journaling feels like another task you’re “failing” at?

    In this episode, I sit down with Creative Arts Counsellor, Julie Kuhn to explore a different way of journaling.. one that uses colour, movement, and playful marks instead of words.

    We talk about how creative journaling can help you (and your clients) reconnect with yourself, let go of perfectionism, and process emotions in a way that feels freeing and pressure-free.

    And if in the Grow Your Private Practice membership, keep an eye out. Julie will soon be running a creative journaling workshop where we’ll explore this together.

    About Julie Kuhn:

    Julie Kuhn is a Creative Arts Counsellor who blends traditional therapeutic approaches with creativity, nature, and expressive journaling to help people step into their true selves. She works with individuals who are ready to break free from people-pleasing, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with who they really are gently but powerfully.

    She runs monthly workshops inside the Creative Counsellors membership and has contributed to Creative Counselling with Adults (The Creative Counselling Collection).

    With a deep belief that healing doesn’t have to happen in neat sentences, Julie’s work centres around playful, out-of-the-box techniques that support self-awareness, emotional expression, and personal growth.

    Creative journaling is at the heart of her practice, offering a pressure-free, empowering way to process emotions when words alone aren’t enough.

    Julie regularly shares her expertise through monthly workshops inside the Creative Counsellors membership, inspiring therapists to explore creativity in their own work.

    She has also contributed two creative interventions to Creative Counselling with Adults, part of The Creative Counselling Collection curated by Tanja Sharpe.

    Whether she’s holding space for clients or guiding fellow therapists, Julie invites people to rediscover their voice, creativity, and inner strength, one playful mark at a time.
