About Psychology Business School
Back in 2017
I was pushed into private practice well before I was ready. I didn’t have a clue how to run a business and, after a difficult year and a hyperemesis pregnancy, my imposter syndrome made it feel impossible to even call myself a Clinical Psychologist. I turned to google looking for another psychologist to hold my hand through the minefield of data protection, fee setting and finding clients but all I found was generic business advice that didn’t quite fit my vision.
Over the years
I invested in business education and coaching and pieced together a way of working that has allowed me to live my values and do the work I find most fulfilling, all around my life as a mum of 3 and military spouse. In 2020 I founded Psychology Business School so you can get there too, and much faster and easier than I did!
5 years later
An MBA and a dream team of legal experts, administrators and business coaches later I’m incredibly proud of the supportive community we have built here. I’m excited to help you build your dream practice!
Testimonials
“I have to share a really exciting win! I had my first enquiry from Psychology Today – it was right up my street! And I was brave and quoted my normal rate- and they said yes! I’m so chuffed as this is the kind of work I really wanted to do but didn’t know how to get into it.”
“Joining Psychology Business School has been such an enriching experience. I have to admit I was tempted in by the offer of the legal templates which are invaluable to a very novice start-up like me, but there has been so much more learning to savour from the abundance of masterclasses and workbooks to help me build the solid foundations to private work. The biggest thing is learning in the brave space that Rosie holds for us all. Rosie doesn’t flinch from walking alongside us, sharing her own vulnerabilities and growth – such a Role model. Thank you Rosie : )”
“I joined the membership because I was struggling to allocate my time effectively as I am involved in several projects. Peer supervision gave me greater clarity and has helped me make some decisions that feel right for me at this time. The membership gives me accountability – a place to take the wobbles that might come moving forward. A sense of solidarity of other people also taking the road less travelled and less secure.”
“I feel that my confidence and motivation have increased as a result of the course helping me to narrow down the area I am interested in working in. It also breaks down the different aspects of building a private practice down into different areas that are organised in a logical and manageable way. I really like the fact that it is guided by our personal and professional values, which helps better connect with the process, and is in line with how I like to work with others. The fact that there are live sessions with other members allows experiences to be normalised and to learn from each other.”
“I’ve now taken several proactive steps in the road to financial security and feel like I have a roadmap for where to go next. Having access to the community to ask questions along the way has proven invaluable.”
“I have not worked in private practice before and felt stuck in moving this forwards. I was anxious about getting the legal stuff and processes correct and had no idea about marketing etc. Before starting I felt isolated in this endeavour. It has certainly helped me to move forwards. I know so much more about different options for private practice, the practicalities and ways to gain clients. It has connected me with others doing similar things which is important to me. It has helped me to consider options which I would not have thought of otherwise.”
