And it needs to have more than therapy in it… Many of us stumble into private practice as an add on to an already busy NHS (or other public health) role. It is too easy for us to just assume that all we do is rent a room and use our existing skills. Many talented clinical psychologists, therapists and counsellors are shocked to discover that they don’t make much money from their private practice. I was in that position a year ago. I had gone full time in my practice and was busy with clients. But I wasn’t making much money, didn’t have the flexibility I needed to fit around solo parenting my two children and most annoyingly I found myself with NO time to do the community psychology interventions I was passionate about. I noticed I was heading for financial, creative and emotional burnout and invested in business coaching to figure out how on earth to make it right. It was the best decision I ever made and I have put the key learning points into this blog and the psychology private practice business plan workbook (available when the Crowdfunder goes live on March 2nd!) to help make sure you don’t make the same mistakes as me. If you are just starting out you might find yourself feeling resistant or “a bit icky” about some of this stuff. Don’t worry that is part of the journey. You will feel better when you are up, running and helping lots of people. The Foundation of a Psychology Business Plan Mission: What do you want from your private psychology practice or project? All too often we set off into a venture without being intentional about what we are trying to create. However you run your practice, whether full time or part time I guarantee it is going to have you working more hours than you ever did in the NHS. The good news is many of those hours won’t feel like “work” at all if you are passionate about the purpose of your practice. So don’t skip this bit if you want to feel fulfilled rather than drained by your work! The following questions should help you figure out your personal and professional mission: What is the change you want to create in the world?What is the change you want to make in your life? Write out one or two clear mission statements that sum up the impact you want to have for other people. Then write one that puts into words what your work needs to provide for you and your family. I want to help X (insert group of people you want to help) to do X. I will use my X skills to do this. I want to create a life that allows me to live my values. The things I value most in life are x, y and z. My business will help me to have more of these in my life by x, y , z. My examples: I want to help solo parents to parent confidently through hard times in life. I will use my therapy and writing skills to do this. I want to help psychologists and therapists who want to have big impact but feel stuck and don’t know how get their projects off the ground. I will use my writing, marketing and coaching skills to do this. I want to create a life that allows me to live my values. The things I value most in life are health, being present with my family and creating social change. My business will help me to have more of these in my life by giving me financial freedom, flexibility in my hours and the ability to reach people who find it hard to access NHS services. Structure of the Business: Should my psychology practice or project be a Ltd company, social enterprise or sole trader? Don’t get hung up on this! This question is mostly about what is going to happen to your “profit”. I am not an expert in company formation (by a long way) but my research for my own business has given me a basic understanding. It seems to me that if you are a sole trader all your money (less your personal tax allowance) is taxed through self assessment so all you need is a separate bank account and rock solid records of everything you spend and receive. In a social enterprise you pay yourself and others on the team a salary and then the profit gets reinvested into your business or other projects that align with the social change you told the government you want to make. There are a few different ways of setting these up that dictate how much freedom you have. A Ltd company usually involves paying yourself a salary and then taking a dividend if you make extra “profit” on top of that basic salary. It can be tax economical if you are making good money and most SEs and all Ltd companies have the benefit of limiting your liability so your own assets are protected if the company goes bankrupt and can’t pay its debts. If you are setting up ...

Hannah is an educational and child psychologist who's worked beyond the therapy room in both the public and private sector, starting out as a primary school teacher before training as an ed psych in 2005. She's been involved in projects that would seriously intimidate most of us, including setting up a school and supporting the community after the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower. Not to mention setting up and building her own private practice. Welcome to the podcast, Hannah, there's so much that I want to ask you about and so much that we could talk about. So let's start at the beginning. What inspired you to leave teaching and become an ed psych?Hannah (00:38):Gosh, what a big question, and what an introduction. It actually made me really emotional listening to that. I think I always knew that I wanted to work with special needs children, and in my second year of teaching, it was really made concrete. There was a little boy that I had in my class who had been diagnosed very early on with autism. And we formed a really strong bond and a really good understanding of each other. And I think that absolutely cemented the fact that I knew that I wanted to go and work as an educational psychologist and kind of work in a more systemic way supporting staff and families and working very collaboratively. Yeah, the picture of him and my mind is so clear, but I remember coming into the class one day just going, yep, I absolutely have to follow this. So I think I had an idea from very early on.Hannah (01:35):I also did work experience when I was 16 in a school for children who were deaf, and they taught me to sign really quickly. Obviously, I was not fluent. But I think for me it's always been about communication, and interestingly, about communication with people who find it more difficult to communicate in the neuro-typical way. So I think from a really young age, I was really interested in building relationships and building bonds. And I think that ed psychs have an incredible gift of being able to do that in all sorts of different settings. So I hope that answers your first question.Rosie (02:09):Yeah, it does. I mean, I was just thinking about how strong that motivation must've been. Like you've literally, I can see, the audience can't, but I can, and see like Hannah gets really animated when she's thinking about that boy. I'm thinking, was that what got you through what must've been really difficult? Because training as a psychologist is hard, especially as a second career.Hannah (02:29):Yeah, I think I had a real clear vision, I was very lucky because I had a very clear vision right from the start. And I'd read psychology at university with a kind of view to, I know I want to follow this. But I also think that I wanted to work with children in the sense that at that age I was probably quite naive and thinking, well, you can make a bigger difference with younger people. And I suppose it's maternal instincts and mothering instincts as well that kind of kick in. So I think that very much played a part.Hannah (03:08):Training to be a psychologist is incredibly tough. You will know too. It's really, really tough. And I think there is the difference of becoming an ed psych, because when I trained you had to be a teacher, and we had all these teachers who'd come in, who'd felt incredibly confident and competent being in a classroom, and then when you're training to be a psychologist you're questioning everything, and suddenly you feel like your skill base is zero, and you're looking around for validation the whole time. And it was very... What's the word? There was a very uneven feel about walking into their schools when you knew you understood a school, but suddenly you were coming in as the outsider.Hannah (03:54):And I think that was the part of the training as a psychologist that was the really, really tough bit, is that suddenly you just felt completely deskilled. But actually we understood how schools worked, and the pressure that teachers were under, and the pressure that families were under, and the different systems in place. So I think that plays a massive part in rebuilding your confidence when you're training.Hannah (04:20):I think it's interesting, because I always question, when psychologists only train others, and the meaning behind that, and what are their needs ultimately? Because being in the front line is a very different place to be. So ...
