Do you keep putting off your marketing tasks even though you really want to grow your private practice?

You’re not alone.

In this episode, I'll share a simple, low-pressure habit that’s helping therapists break the procrastination cycle and finally take consistent action: the Get It Done Hour.

It’s one hour, one task, and no faff – a gentle but powerful way to build momentum without burnout.

You’ll learn why it works, how to start your own Get It Done habit, and 10 simple marketing tasks you can tackle in your next session.

Does your inner critic have the mic again, saying things like “You’re not ready,” “You don’t know enough,” or “Who do you think you are?”

Yes… me too sometimes.

In this episode, we explore how to turn down the volume on THAT voice and start tuning into your inner cheerleader instead.

The one who reminds you that you’re already enough, that you’ve done hard things before, and that you can do brave things, even if you're doing them scared.

You’ll learn practical ways to reconnect with encouragement, build confidence, and feel more supported especially when you’re stepping outside your comfort zone.

Let’s be honest, marketing your therapy practice can feel really uncomfortable.

Like you’re standing in the middle of a crowded room, waving your arms, and shouting, “Pick me! Pick me!”

And that just feels soooooo wrong.

But here’s the thin - you don’t have to “sell yourself” at all. There’s a small but powerful tweak that makes marketing way easier.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

✨ Why marketing feels so icky for therapists

✨ The simple shift that makes it feel natural

✨ How blogging can help you market with less stress

✨ Why this approach works (and why you shouldn’t stop there)

Marketing doesn’t have to be painful. Let’s make it work for you, not against you.

If you’ve ever held back from talking about the benefits of therapy because you’re afraid of making promises you can’t guarantee, this one’s for you.

It makes sense. You’re an ethical therapist, and therapy isn’t a quick fix. But the problem is that potential clients need some reassurance before they take that first step.

They’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, maybe even hopeless. They want to believe therapy can help, but they’re not sure. And if your marketing is vague or filled with clinical jargon, they’ll move on.

So, if you struggle to put into words how therapy helps (without overpromising), listen in.

Do you find yourself cringing at the thought of calling yourself an expert?

You're not alone.

Many therapists struggle with this, often brushing off compliments from clients with, "Oh, but you did all the work!"

But avoiding the 'E' word could be holding you back.

It impacts your confidence, makes it harder to attract clients, and ultimately affects your income.

So if you’ve been holding back from stepping into your expertise, this episode is for YOU.

Let's get you seen, valued, and fully booked.
