Hello

Here we are in December already. It’s time to deck the halls, peel the sprouts (well, maybe not quite yet), throw ourselves into the den of festivities and get ready to step into Christmas. There’s so much to get excited about! 

We have lots waiting for you, so go get a deliciously nutritious aromatically spiced smoothie, a hot chocolate brimming full of squidgy marshmallows and sprinkling of cinnamon, or a warming glass of mulled wine steeped with rich heavenly spices and give yourself a boost while you catch up on our highlights this month. 

If you have a self-assessment deadline lurking, don’t let this spoil your party, we have a step-by-step guide on how to complete a self-assessment return online from our partners at Sage.  

The fifth article in WebHealer’s excellent series is out now. Here’s a link if you haven’t seen it. The series is all about WebHealer’s highly refined approach for helping therapists attract more clients through the web and this latest article is one of the most interesting of all. It explains how to encourage your website visitors to take action and contact you.  This will be followed shortly by the sixth and final article which covers the phase WebHealer call Nurture. Nurture, in many ways, is what I am doing right now – staying in touch with you and sending you useful information which hopefully means that your appreciation and regard for Private Practice Hub continues to grow. Do let me know if it’s working!

Do you run out of ideas when it comes to making CPD plans for your next business year? We have an interesting article over on our blog about how to optimise CPD opportunities – this could be the wind beneath your wings to set you soaring into the new year. 

Social media is a really powerful tool in business. If you want to know more about how it can help your therapy business, check out our guest blog on How To Run Your Private Practice Social Media Accounts Effectively.

I hope our newsletter has given you plenty of inspiration, tips and advice to help you with plans for your therapy business in the new year.  

Myself and the team here at Private Practice Hub wish you a joyous Christmas and a successful New Year. 

Best wishes
