From Blank Slate to Authentic Voice: Why Your Marketing Needs to Show Who You Are, with Caz Binstead

Are you marketing your private practice but feel like something is missing? You’re not alone. Many therapists struggle to bridge the gap between professional boundaries and showing their authentic selves.

In this episode, I sit down with Caz Binstead to explore why authenticity is essential in modern marketing and how you can move away from the outdated ‘blank slate’ model.

Together, we discuss practical ways to let your personality shine through while maintaining professionalism.

If you’ve ever wondered how to attract clients who truly resonate with you, this episode is a must-listen.

What We Cover:

  • Why the ‘blank slate’ model creates barriers instead of trust
  • How thoughtful self-disclosure can make your marketing more effective
  • The ripple effects of showing up authentically—for you and your clients
  • Breaking stereotypes in the therapy profession
  • Real-world examples of marketing that feels genuine and impactful

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.
