If you're a psychologist who wants to diversify beyond 1:1 work, you're in the right place. 

We work with psychologists who feel like they're at a career crossroads, whether that’s longing to leave burning systems behind or stuck in "successful" practices that are leaving them burnt out and bored-out. 

Here's what makes this urgent: You have expertise, experience, creative ideas for groups, programmes, resources that could genuinely help people - ideas you've been carrying for years. The time-for-money treadmill means you can't get these wonderful ideas out of your head and into the hands of people who truly need them.

Right now, everyone is losing out.

We help you bring these psychology products and services to life and create more sustainable, scalable income along the way.

If This Is Where You Find Yourself…

You are a great psychologist but the way you've been working may have left you doubting that. 

Toxic workplaces, impossible targets, risk-heavy cultures and overfull caseloads have a way of getting to feel like personal failure. After a while, it's hard to tell the difference between "this way of working is unsustainable" and "maybe I'm just not cut out for this." 

Or you're already in a successful private practice with a full 1:1 caseload, decent income, solid reputation. From the outside, it looks great. Inside, it feels like a treadmill. There's no room to think, rest, create, write, work with organisations or communities, or even take a proper break. 

Underneath the exhaustion and self-doubt, there's a clear signal: 

Your current way of working is too narrow and too depleting, for you as an ambitious professional, and for the complexity your clients and communities are bringing.

There's a more expansive version of your work waiting to come to life. But your current way of working doesn't give it room to exist.

The Real Problem:  The Time-For-Money Model

 

You didn't get into this work to spend decades on the 1:1 treadmill. There's no slack for illness, creative thinking, or the strategic work that would actually grow your practice. Your calendar fills up, your week fills up, and eventually you realise: this is it. This is the job. Back-to-back sessions until you can't do it anymore.

And here's what makes it worse: you're underutilising your unique expertise. The insights you share in sessions that other practitioners would pay for. The frameworks you've developed from spotting patterns across thousands of client hours. The groups and programmes that communities actually need. All of it stays stuck in your head because the time-for-money model means you never have space to articulate it, let alone build it.

What clients are bringing now is different, too. Referrals that used to be straightforward now feel heavy. You're holding grief and overwhelm you barely have capacity for yourself. Social media used to build genuine connection. Now it feels like performing in a collapsing circus while everyone pretends things are normal.

The business coaching advice hasn't caught up. It's still 2019 advice for a world that doesn't exist anymore. "Just niche down and then scale" doesn't leave space for your clients' emotional journeys. "Build a signature framework and automate" doesn't address the fact that you're too depleted to develop anything in the first place.

You're not burnt out yet. But you can see it coming. And you're smart enough to want to redesign the model before exhaustion makes the choice for you.

The problem isn't you. It's the old system that needs to be retired.

 

Our work as psychologists was never meant to be done within systems that drain the life out of us.

Yet many of us trained, worked and then built private practices within structures that normalise overwork, isolation and self-sacrifice, and call it "being a good psychologist." When those patterns follow us into private practice, we end up doing beautiful, ethical work wrapped in business models that quietly exhaust us, even when the diary is full. 

Meanwhile the world your clients live in, and the systems you work within, are changing rapidly. Economic uncertainty, political instability, communities struggling all impact our practices. How can we respond rather than feel the need to shut down. 

Your practice can be both:

  • A Safe Base - a financially, structurally and emotionally safe place for you to work in the here & now
  • A Brave Practice - that brings your most courageous and valuable work to the world 

The Safe Base, Brave Practice™  Model

Using regenerative practice design and our Safe Base, Brave Practice™ model, we help you:

  • Rebuild the foundations of your practice so it fills your cup first.
  • Right-size your 1:1 offerings for where you are right now, whether that means leaving them behind or leaning into them even more
  • Design and launch diversified offers that harvest your valuable expertise: groups, programmes, supervision, consultation, organisational work, digital resources...the blend is unique to you.
  • Create space for courageous leadership, community contribution, and the world-changing projects that have been squeezed to the edges

The result: a successful, flourishing practice with multiple income streams where you can thrive and live too.

When you redesign your practice around what brings you to life, the shifts happen inside and outside.

On the outside, you're working fewer clinical hours while maintaining or even growing a stable, ethical income. There's room in your week to think, rest and have a life. Time off no longer feels like a threat, and your work has a clearer shape. The people and projects in your practice feel more "right fit", and you're recognised for something distinctive rather than "just another psychologist in private practice".

Inside, something more fundamental begins to change.

The self-doubt seeded by toxic systems and exhausting work practices loosens. You can see that the problem wasn't you, but a structure that never honoured your limits or your potential. As you redesign the practice, your rebuild trust in yourself as a practitioner and a leader.

Over time, the extra space and energy flow into work you've long wanted to do like programmes or services for communities you care about, groups and supervision that ripple beyond your caseload, or writing and consulting that nudge systems in a better direction.

Your practice stops feeling like a treadmill and more like a evolving system that is life giving to you, your clients and the communities you're part of.

Ways to Work Together

Not sure what you need? Book a 15-minute practice design conversation. We'll explore what's not working in your current model and whether redesigning parts of your practice is the right move for where you are now. This isn't a sales call where I convince you to join something. It's a diagnostic conversation where we both figure out if the work fits.

This conversation makes sense if you're bored with the 1:1 model, have ideas going to waste in your cupboards, and you're curious how redesigning your practice could work for you.

 

Coaching

1:1 support for psychologists at a crossroads

Coaching is for psychologists who need to pivot but can't see the path yet.

Maybe your practice isn't working for you anymore. Maybe you're burnt out. Maybe you have an idea you really want to bring to life but you can't get off the treadmill long enough to design it properly.

What Clients Say

About Wendy

Wendy Kendall – Psychologist, regenerative practice designer, principal coach

"I've been a psychologist for almost three decades, with more than 23 years in private practice across several countries. I've worked in and alongside large international organisations, spent over a decade as an Associate Partner in a seven-figure global talent consultancy, and studied how systems fail or regenerate since my 1996 master's thesis on organisational pathologies.

On paper, it all looked impressive. In reality, I hit the same wall many of my clients now face: the way I was working was quietly draining the life out of me.

So I began redesigning my own practice as a safe base and a living, regenerative system. Those experiments became Inspiring Psychology Practices and the Safe Base, Brave Practice™ philosophy.

Since 2018, through TPPA (The Psychology Practice Accelerator) alone, I've helped nearly 100 practitioners across 12+ cohorts redesign their practices from their roots to their furthest branches. I've also coached and run practice development workshops for several hundred more practitioners.

I want more psychologists to have that experience: practices that fill their cup first, so they have the capacity to do the life-giving work they came here to do".
