Finding Space For Therapists offers bespoke guidance sessions and community support for therapists in Australia including psychotherapists, counsellors, psychologists, and mental health social workers.

For Therapists was created by me as a response to my own fear about becoming a therapist, working in private practice, my own therapy journey surrounding burnout and fatigue, and managing day-to-day life alongside work and study. I often left my Master’s lectures with more questions than I had going in; most of which didn’t necessarily surround the course content, but rather what the Self of the therapist was, and how to work practically in the outside world.

I spent hours diving deep into podcasts, books, and blogs about what it meant to be a therapist. I met up with other therapists asking for advice. I booked sessions with business mentors in the helping space. I began my own therapy journey specifically for unpacking this new role I was in, and this new Self I was becoming. What I realised was that very few spaces exist totally for student and provisional therapists for support and guidance. Even less for those therapists who began their work in private practice.

For Therapists combines my skill as a therapist, my experience as a university teacher of the Master of Counselling program, my experience as a researcher in integrative psychotherapy practice, and my intense passion for cultivating an intentional life and business. Here we explore the Self of the therapist, what it means to be a therapist, how to build a practice that works for you, how to cultivate self-preservation and -care, and how to work toward a life of purpose and passion. Receive expansive guidance, grounding, clarity, and momentum.
