Hello 

The recent mini heatwave brought us some glorious days full of warmth and sunshine, and it really put a spring into our step here at Private Practice Hub.

Zoom and Skype calls with family and friends have become a bit of the norm now. Here at Private Practice Hub we regularly hold our team meetings by video conferencing, guest appearances from each other's children, pets and other family members are a regular occurrence and always jolly things up!

We have been busy putting the final touches to our annual audience survey, this will help us get better at what we do and ensure we bring you exactly what you want from us. So keep an eye on your inboxes for this as it will be dropping by pretty soon!

In order to get clients, you need to be more than just a good therapist, you also need to be able to market yourself so that people know what services you offer, how to contact you, read your testimonials etc. Marketing doesn’t need to be scary, our Marketing Hub is full of online resources for simple effective marketing that will help get your business noticed.

Coronavirus has provided all business owners with an opportunity to press the reset button. The new Private Practice Hub website makes it even quicker and easier for you to find exactly what you are looking for. The redesign is part of our own ongoing evolution as a trusted source to bring professional therapists everything they need to help start, manage or grow an efficient private practice. Go to our Events page to view all events and opportunities. You’ll love how easy it is!

Our recent Ask the Expert webinar proved very popular. Dr Colin Clerkin from Your Practice Coach and Jayney Goddard, President of The Complementary Medical Association discussed the fundamentals in getting started in private practice, which would serve anyone well at any stage of running a therapy business so if you missed it, catch it again here.

Our next Ask the Expert will be taking place on Thursday 30th July at 10.30am Our guest this month is Damien Adler from Power Diary and he will be talking about making the transition from working IN your business to working ON your business. The webinar will be led once again by our expert host Jayney Goddard. Please do share and sign up to our next webinar here. If you missed any of our previous webinars, you can find them here.

Define your purpose: 4-day programme in the Languedoc mountains
The Mind Environment Individual Programme is for people who want to work intensively on their purpose in a unique setting. Designed and led by an experienced psychologist and executive coach, the programme takes place over four days and nights in Bardou, a remote, privately owned mountain village in Southern France. Through a combination of facilitated group discussions and outdoor activities, the programme takes participants on a journey of deep exploration into their purpose, and supports them to develop a purpose plan that they can put into action when they return home. If you are a psychotherapist, psychologist, counsellor or coach, this programme could be of interest, either for clients who you feel might benefit from an intensive group process, or if you are looking for your own personal and professional development opportunity.
