Sometimes you know something needs to change, but you cannot yet see clearly what you should be developing.
At other times, the work is already established and you need concentrated help with one significant strategic question.
I offer two forms of private support for those situations:
- Private Practice Diagnostic Sessions and;
- Private Practice Intensives
Not sure which option fits? You do not need to decide before you enquire. Tell me what you are working on and where you are getting stuck, and I’ll tell you which option, if any, I think is most useful.

Diagnostic Sessions
When you can see several possibilities, but you are not yet sure what they add up to.
You may have substantial experience, ideas and opportunities, but still be unsure where or how to concentrate your attention to take your practice to its next stage of evolution.
Perhaps you are considering a new body of work, organisational or corporate opportunities, a different practice model, training or consultancy, or a more fundamental professional change.
The Diagnostic Sessions give us space to work out which opportunities are genuinely worth your attention, what they might become, and the development you and your practice need to take advantage of those opportunities.
Across three private sessions we explore:
- the expertise and capability that you are currently underusing;
- what is constraining you and your practice;
- the body of unique work or intellectual property that may already be taking shape;
- the opportunities most worth pursuing;
- and the developmental route that makes most sense from here.
You will finish with a concise Leading Practitioner Development Map setting out the strongest opportunities we can see, the decisions they create, and the next steps that will give you better information about where to invest your attention.
Three private sessions over approximately eight weeks

If it becomes apparent that TPPA would be a great next step for you, £500 of your Diagnostic investment can be transferred to one of the next two scheduled TPPA cohorts.

“I was able to explore for myself what I really wanted to do and that was really powerful for me. There’s something about investing in ourselves that feels quite difficult at times.".
Leading Practitioner Intensives
When the work is already established and you need to solve one significant strategic question.
The Intensive is for established practitioners or practice founder teams with a substantial body of work already in motion.
You might be asking:
- How do I turn this methodology into a coherent and scalable model?
- Should I certify other practitioners, license the work or continue delivering it myself? How would I grow or scale each of these options?
- How do we develop a training school without creating another delivery treadmill?
- How should we position this work for an NHS, university, professional body or corporate partnership? How do we create a business case to substantiate the offer?
- How do several successful strands of our practice fit together?
- What needs to change in my leadership role as the work grows beyond me? What's my development plan to expand my leadership?
Before we meet, I review the relevant material and we will agree the central question we need to answer.
We then spend two focused half-days working on it together, followed by a review session once you have begun implementing the decisions.
You will leave with a clear answer to the strategic question we have been working on, the decisions that follow from it and a practical route forward. Depending on the brief, we may also map the model or architecture and build a 180-day implementation plan.

ENQUIRE ABOUT THE INTENSIVEWhy Work with Me
Deep experience of psychology, practice and business.
I have spent 30 years as an occupational and coaching psychologist and 23 years in private practice, establishing a six-figure global talent development practice in two countries and co-leading a seven-figure consultancy across Europe and the Nordics. For the past eight years I have worked closely with practitioner psychologists, so I understand both the professional realities of this work and what it takes to turn distinctive ideas into work that people understand, value and pay well for.
A regenerative approach that does not force you into someone else's model.
I do not start with a standard business model, or an inherited idea of what a psychologist’s practice should look like, and try to fit you into it. We look at the expertise, patterns and possibilities already present in your work, then test them against the outside world. Is there a meaningful problem? Do people care enough to act? Is there a credible route to clients or buyers? And is there enough evidence to justify investing more of your time and energy?
An idea that sells but recreates work you do not want is not a good outcome.
A method that consistently transforms practices
Since stepping into this space in 2017, I've coached hundreds of practitioner psychologists and therapists of all backgrounds. Many have built thriving multi-offer practices, stepped into leadership roles, stabilised their income, or revitalised their work after burnout, illness, parenthood or disillusionment. My clients consistently say things like:
“I didn’t know my practice could ever feel like this.”
“You helped me see possibilities I couldn’t see for myself.”
"Other psychologists haven't been able to capture my vision, and tried to limit what I could do. Your session was the best thing I did in terms of making sense of what my practice would be"
Seeing what is hard to see from inside your own practice.
I love helping practitioners see the brilliance in themselves that they’ve long forgotten or minimised. My clients tell me I have an amazing way of turning complexity into clarity, doubt into grounded action, and helping them see possibilities they could not see for themselves.
Clarity is developed in partnership with you
You do not need to arrive with the answer. Often the challenge is that you have several credible possibilities and cannot pursue all of them.
I am listening for the through-line beneath what can feel like unrelated ideas, and for the signals that tell us which possibilities deserve more of your attention. We can then give the strongest ones enough shape to take into the real world, learn from what happens and make better decisions from evidence rather than trying to achieve certainty unnecessarily early.

Which kind of support do you need?
“I genuinely don’t know which direction I should be developing.”
Start with the Leading Practitioner Diagnostic.
“I know what I want to develop, but I need structure, feedback, experimentation and accountability to turn it into something substantial.”

TPPA is a nine-month development programme for practitioners building a distinctive body of work and the practice and leadership presence around it.
