In this episode of Good Enough Counsellors, we’re diving into the third “C” of social media success for therapists: Community.

It’s tempting to think of social media as just another marketing tool, but for many people, it’s a lifeline - a place to feel seen, connected, and understood. And as therapists, we have a unique opportunity to create that safe space online.

Takeaways:

• Why community is one of the most powerful ways to attract therapy clients
• How giving (not numbers) is the heart of community-building
• The mindset shift that helps you get past the “cringe factor” of sharing your work
• Why showing your real, imperfect self builds trust and connection
• How engaging with others (even in small ways) helps grow your reach
• The importance of not broadcasting, but building relationships online
• Post ideas for September 2025
