Good Enough Counsellors

Drowning in Admin?


Listen Later

f you’re replying to emails late at night, chasing invoices between sessions, or taking your laptop on holiday “just in case”, it might feel like admin is taking over your life.

For private practice therapists, enquiries, invoicing, cancellations, GDPR, practice management systems, and Making Tax Digital can eat into the time that you'd much rather be using for seeing clients.

In this episode, I’m joined by Anna Bunch of Psych VA to explore how virtual assistants for therapists can help lighten that admin load.

We talk about:

  • What a virtual assistant actually does in a therapy practice
  • Managing client enquiries and follow ups
  • Support with invoicing and insurance companies
  • Getting set up with practice management systems such as WriteUpp
  • Making Tax Digital and accounting software like Xero
  • Confidentiality and GDPR when outsourcing admin
  • How to know when it might be time to get help

If admin is creeping into your evenings and weekends, this conversation will help you decide what support could look like for you.
