TRAINING FOR THERAPISTS

Nicky has had many requests from colleagues for guidance/supervision to generate ideas of creating income streams beyond the therapy office. While often one-on-one consultations are needed to look at individual abilities and interests, Nicky has decided to offer this webinar to generate ideas that are more general to the mental health field. The topics covered in this webinar:

• Why some therapists struggle with the demands of a full-time private practice long-term
• How diversifying our income can help to stimulate our creativity and talents - as well as become a burn-out prevention tool
• What options are available for diversifying our income
• Passive verses Active income streams
• HPCSA rules on income generation beyond a clinical practice - what you need to know and how to be ethically compliant

Join Nicky in Johannesburg for this full-day workshop, carefully curated for colleagues who are in various stages of their private practice career. It’s ideally suited to those who need insight into the BACKSTAGE of private practice. ON STAGE, many private practitioners can make it look so easy to have a flourishing business. Therapists are notorious for comparing themselves to others & doubting their own abilities, which ignites the imposter syndrome. Anyone who has done training with Nicky will know that she is exceptionally generous with her knowledge and skills. Her openness to share the parts of practice life that many keep guarded is what makes it a valuable experience whether you’re starting out or are already several years into private practice.

As therapists, we are often not equipped with the skills and resources to market our private practice.
