5 things I’ve learned in 5 years of working with therapists

It’s my anniversary! Yes, I’ve been working with counsellors and therapists to help grow their practice for 5 years (ok, a bit longer than that, but what’s a few months between friends?). And I’ve come a long way and learned a lot in that time - and am still learning. 

But there are 5 main things I’ve learned about working with counsellors in that time and I talk about them in this episode. 

In this episode we explore:

  • The process of learning
  • That (sadly) there are no quick fixes
  • The importance of being curious
  • Why you need to start with the ABC’s
  • The pros and cons of change

To be honest, I’ve learned way, way more than 5 things, and this episode could have ended up being hours long!


I’ve had a blast running the Grow Your Private Practice membership. I’d like to thank all the members both past and present for trusting in me, and I’ve really enjoyed hearing about your successes.

I hate when members leave, but when its because they are at capacity, then it makes me a very happy person and I realise all the hard work has been worth it. 

So if you’re fed up of going round in circles, and you’re ready to make real progress, come and join us. CLICK HERE for details and to join

About the Podcast

The Grow Your Private Practice Show
Helping Counsellors and Therapists Get Found By More Clients More Easily
I’m Jane Travis and I’m an ex counsellor that now works with other therapists to grow their private practice, hence the name of the show.

I’m the author of the Grow Your Private Practice book and also run the Grow Your Private Practice membership, where counsellors can get together and learn all about marketing, with a special love of all things blogging.

Okay, that’s the official stuffy 'about me' bit out of the way, because honestly, it’s so much more than that.

The truth is, the thing that really drives me, is helping counsellors - counsellors like you - to get more freedom and choice into your life so can work when you want to, how you want to and with the issues that you’re passionate about.

And importantly, to get paid properly to do so.

Because you have the freedom and choice to run a thriving private practice whilst also creating a fulfilling life for both yourself and your family.

If you want that too, please click subscribe. I hope you enjoy listening.

Jane Travis

Hi, I’m Jane. I’m a former counsellor who now helps other counsellors and psychotherapists to grow their private practice, hence the name of the show.

I’m the author of the Grow Your Private Practice book, and I run the Grow Your Private Practice membership, where therapists come together to learn all about marketing in a way that feels doable, ethical, and actually kind of fun.

Okay, so that’s the official, slightly stuffy “about me” bit.

But the truth is - it’s about so much more than that.

What really drives me is helping people like you create more freedom and choice in your life. So you can work the hours you want, in the way that suits you, with the clients and issues you’re passionate about. And most importantly? Get paid properly to do it.

Because you CAN build a practice that supports you - not just emotionally, but financially too.

I hope you enjoy listening.
