Season 3 Episode 3: Falling Into Private Practice: Anna’s Shift from Health to Business Owner
Description
In this episode of OT Coaching Confidential, I chat with Anna, an Occupational Therapist working in the adult space with a growing private practice focused on chronic fatigue, Long COVID and invisible illness.
We explore:
Transitioning from public health into private practice (and the culture shock that can come with it)
The discomfort around charging for therapy and how Anna is starting to claim the value of her time and experience
Developing a therapy model that works in a flexible yet sustainable way - including clearer session structures, communication boundaries, and client pathways
Using tools like Halaxy and Google Workspace with privacy in mind
Strategies for growing a caseload, setting up referral systems, and building long-term client relationships
Creative ideas for reducing admin load and building group or maintenance-style support in the future
We also discuss my workshop Sensational Start in Private Practice
