🧭 Steady: Mentorship for Therapists Starting Out
A 10-session support space over 20 weeks
Starts Monday 29 July 2025 — Online
€595 | Very small group — max 15 spaces

🌱 You’re qualified. But are you held?

You’ve done the training. You’re starting — or about to.
And suddenly it’s real.

You’re holding clients, but no one’s holding you.
You’re trying to build a practice, but wondering what that actually means.
You’re battling guilt about fees, dread about cancellations, and self-doubt so loud it drowns out everything else.

This isn’t a course. It’s not a business promise.
It’s not supervision.

It’s a mentorship space — structured, relational, and honest — where you can be held as you begin.

✨ What It Is

Steady is a 10-session online mentorship group for therapists who are either about to start or have just started private practice. You don’t need to have it figured out. You just need to be ready to show up — as you are.

I used to run one-off intro days and half-day sessions. They helped — but I saw over and over again that what people really needed was more time, real follow-up, and a sense of not doing it alone. That’s why this exists.

Steady is coaching, mentorship, and community — live, dynamic, and grounded in real practice.
It builds on my years of teaching, supervision, and clinical work to help you move from panic to clarity — and stay steady in the work.

And if you’re further along in your journey, I’m considering a “Master Mentorship” for next year. But this one is for those first few months — when the ground still feels shaky.

👥 What You’ll Get

  • 10 x 2-hour themed group calls (every two weeks via Zoom)

  • Pre-session handouts and post-session reflection prompts

  • Up to 2 individual support emails between sessions

  • A private WhatsApp group for light-touch connection

  • Catch-up notes provided for each session (sessions will not be recorded)

  • Max 15 participants — small enough to feel seen, real enough to grow

While it would be great if you could attend all sessions live, I get that life happens. You’ll still be held.
But ask yourself: can you carve out this time for yourself now?

🧭 What We’ll Explore
Just a flavour — the real learning comes from what emerges in the room:

  • How to actually start your private practice — systems, fees, presence

  • Building an online presence and networking

  • Boundaries, emotional labour, and your relationship with time

  • Fee anxiety, cancellations, and the discomfort of visibility

  • Clients who ghost, push, or trigger you

  • Ethical wobbles and trusting your inner compass

  • Burnout signs, imposter syndrome, and staying in your lane

  • What kind of therapist you’re becoming

  • Lots of extras inclusing a ready made paperwork starter pack

It’s structured but not rigid.
Practical, but reflective.
Real, not performative.
It is slow and it is steady

This is about becoming the therapist you want to be — and building a practice that actually fits your life.

💶 The Cost
€595 for 20 weeks of support
That’s just €30 per live session — or €15 a week.


About the cost of three coffees — for something that will shape how you hold yourself in the work.

Most therapists pay 2–3 times that per hour for supervision — and you’ll likely charge 2–3 times this for a single therapy session.

I know there are so many costs in our profession — the CPDs, the rooms, the platforms, the supervision. It all adds up.
But this isn’t just another cost — this is an investment.
And I’m making it as accessible as I can, while still valuing myself and the amount of work we’ll be doing together.

Payment plans available:

  • 1 x €595

  • 2 x €298

  • 4 x €149 (Direct Debit only)

  • 8 x €75 (Direct Debit only)

🗓️ Details

Max 15 spaces — once it’s full, it’s full

This isn’t a guarantee of X clients in X weeks.
It’s not a one-day workshop where you come away thinking that was great, now what?

This is a mentor at the end of the phone.
A coach to talk you through your nerves.
A cheerleader when you land that first client or make that first reel.
A sounding board when you’re finding your niche or wondering if you have one.

This is the real world — but steadier.
Together.
