About
This course consists of 11 video lessons with approximately 2.5 hours of content. You'll receive lifetime access and can work through the material at your own pace. If you've ever felt drawn to working for yourself as a therapist, counsellor, or psychologist, this course is designed to show you that the goal may be far more achievable than you imagine. Many people want greater freedom, independence, and meaning in their work, but never take the first step because the path feels unclear or overwhelming. They assume they need more qualifications, more confidence, more experience, or a perfect business plan before they can begin. In reality, most successful self-employed therapists start in a much simpler way. This course is especially relevant at a time when many men are struggling. Many signs suggest that the next generation of young men may be even more vulnerable to mental health difficulties, and there is a real need for grounded, capable professionals who can understand these issues without judgment or condescension. For men who have spent time thinking critically about modern relationships, masculinity, and the expectations placed on men, this path may have particular significance. Many men can see that something is deeply wrong, but they do not always have access to mature, psychologically informed guidance. Becoming a self-employed therapist or psychologist can be a way to build a meaningful independent life while also offering something that is likely to be sorely needed in the years ahead. In this course, I share what I have learned from building a successful private practice and working independently with clients for many years. We look at qualifications, finding your niche, attracting clients, creating an online presence, setting up the business side of things, and knowing when it may be the right time to leave traditional employment.
