How To Grow Your Practice: Group Coaching For Therapists.

For many therapists, mental health is a calling. We want to make the world a better place. We also deserve to make a living from what we do. After a few years, many of us reach the point where we either need to scale up or scale down. There are only so many hours in the day, right? How can we maximise our potential as clinicians and ensure our time and energy is delivering us the return on investment we seek? What does best look like?

Online Group Coaching Programme

I am excited to announce our six-month leadership & development programme for mental health practitioners. In addition to the six group coaching sessions, each participant will receive three individual coaching sessions – at the outset, at the mid-way point and after the programme. Each group coaching session lasts half a day and is held monthly. Participants meet in-between the monthly sessions to review and implement their experiences.

Groups create an opportunity for transformational change. When we see ourselves in others, we become vulnerable and open to change. This is where growth can flourish. There is nothing more powerful than working with a small group of people as they unlock their potential.

As an Official Member of the Forbes Coaching Council and a business coach, I offer high-impact career coaching which is results driven. I bring my depth of business experience, psychological insights from my work as a therapist and experience and knowledge from my expertise as an executive coach. All that is practically applied in a safe and supportive setting. I am also a U.K. qualified therapist (BACP Member), certified sex addiction therapist (CSAT) and qualified relationship and psychosexual therapist (COSRT).

Who Should Attend?

The ideal candidate might be a therapist who is established in their field but at a crossroads or a therapist who is forward thinking and planning their career. For example, what comes next? How do you scale your practice? How do you move up the ladder at your organisation?

The maximum number of people in the group is six to eight. The group is expected to meet in-between the sessions.

Eligibility

To participate in the group, each participant will have a 30-minute interview to assess eligibility and to ensure they join a group with like-minded individuals with shared values and goals.

Investment

The investment fee is €250 per month, per coachee. This includes psychometric assessments (DiSC model) which are offered to all participants.

Themes

The idea of group coaching is to meet the individual needs of all participants, hence there is a homogeneity to each group. Typical themes include:-

  • Scaling your therapy practice
  • Maximising revenue/creating multiple income streams
  • Time management
  • Diversification or specialisation?
  • Building a team
  • Leveraging technology

The aim is to unlock the potential of each practitioner within a group context. A process of self-discovery creates a substantive shift in self-awareness which once seen is hard to unsee. In group coaching, each participant is held accountable for their personal development and also takes responsibility for the group which further enhances the internal growth.

Group coaching brings people together with a shared focus with the intention of individual development. Unlike most training, success is measured.

In summary, coaching is about removing the roadblocks that we often self-impose between ourselves and our potential success. It is a fluid, dynamic process where transformational change can and does occur.
