Do you:

  • Struggle to commit to a direction for your business? You have tons of amazing ideas but no time to implement any of them...

  • Feel your creativity crushed by imposter syndrome every time you see someone else bossing it on Instagram?

  • Long for a moment of peace and reflection to properly plan your business but always get pulled into “busy work” with clients, running your practice, managing your family and life instead?

  • Feel isolated and crave connection with like-minded people?

Join us on the beautiful coast of Somerset to connect with your values and other ambitious psychologists

Take the space you need to get clear on your vision for your business and start moving forward with your plans.

Taking time out of the madness of life to get clear on your business vision, values and strategy isn’t an indulgence. It’s part of the nourishment your business needs to grow. 

You are the most important asset in your business, so spending time nurturing your wellbeing and creativity is an essential business investment. 

The Psychologists’ Business Retreat can help you get clear on what you and your business need to flourish in 2026 and
we are confident that the connections made and
the lessons learned will make it feel a lot easier too.

Last year we had the best time. Here is what some retreaters had to say:

Liz Gillet

Well beyond my expectations –
I’ve been trying to find this type of connection without much success – but the style, venue and participants really worked for me. Came away with some unexpected but very welcome insights. Your ‘light’ touch approach was delivered with ‘effortless’ skill and was perfectly pitched. More please!

Michaela Thomas

It’s been brilliant! I feel lit up and energised, coming home tired but full of meaning. It was theconnection and informal conversations with established business owners like me which felt most satisfying, sharing resources and contacts and even recording a little fun reel together with one psychologist! It was a lovely retreat venue, where I would definitely consider hosting my own retreats too!

Absolutely loved it. I thought it was so wonderful

The venue and environment was incredible, the pace was great, I think you both did an amazing job organising this and you should feel so proud of what you have achieved.

It was great. I think a big part of what was great was the cohort and I think this was well curated

About Us

The retreat is brought to you by Dr Claire Plumbly from Plum Psychology and Dr Rosie Gilderthorp from Psychology Business School.

We got together to create the Psychologists’ Business Retreat because we know how isolating and frenetic growing a successful practice alongside all the other commitments can feel. We found ourselves craving a moment of calm to think through the ideas racing around in our heads at the same time as desperately wanting to connect with others who are in the thick of it too.

So we created the retreat we wanted to attend!

Between us, we have years of experience in independent practice and have launched associate practices, group programmes, online courses, workshops, books and now…retreats! We know it is possible to create a business that allows you to live your values while also increasing your income.

You just need the time and headspace to plan it properly so join us in Somerset to create the perfect environment for your inner creative entrepreneur to flourish!

FAQs

  • Can I pay in instalments?

    Yes, when we send you your payment link you can choose Klarna at the checkout and split the payments.

  • Do you offer refunds?

    Unfortunately, we are not able to offer refunds as we will already have paid suppliers but if an emergency comes up and you can’t attend please let us know and we will do all we can to help you sell your ticket to someone else.

  • What's the accommodation like?

    In a word? Beautiful. If you book a private room, you will either be in a beautiful room with an ensuite in a farmhouse, or a private shepherd’s hut with views of the sea. If you opt to share with a friend, you will relax in a twin room with two single beds in the farmhouse, with a shared bathroom. You can see some lovely pics of the site and accommodation here.

  • Where is it?

    The Old Rectory is a 30 min drive from Taunton train station. We will organise a group cab to and from Taunton station based on when most trains are getting in. We will sort out the time of the cab will be arranged nearer the time when we know what time everyone’s trains arrive. Driving is also very convenient as there is plenty of parking at the venue.  Address: Old Rectory House, Sea Lane, Kilve, Somerset, TA5 1EG.
