Therapists Starting Up in Business
In 2007 I made the brave decision to walk away from the safety net of corporate life and a regular salary. I had been quietly training behind the scenes to become a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, something completely different to the 25 years of marketing that had been my previous career. In the evenings and weekends my business had started to slowly grow, as the business grew so did the client referrals. As I write this, the client referrals account for well over 70% of my client base and whereas I initially worked from home, now I work from three separate clinics.
When therapists start their new career, their backgrounds are diverse, but rarely have they come from a self-employed status. So not only do they have the pressure of finishing their training schedule and final exams, but then there is the daunting prospect of setting up their company. My advice is simple, write down a plan of action and, as much as possible, stick to it. Then use the many very helpful websites out there which will guide you and give you the information you require. It is all there, it’s just a matter of knowing where to find it.
