The journey of hope and recovery

Our Approach to Coaching

We believe that starting a private therapy practice is as much about mindset as it is about strategy. Our coaching is designed to give you both — the confidence to step into private practice and the practical tools to make it work.

Working with therapists, counsellors, and psychologists across the UK, we take a tailored approach that reflects your background, goals, and the community you want to serve. Whether you’re looking for guidance on marketing, pricing, client management, or simply building your confidence as a business owner, we’ll meet you where you are and guide you forward.

Our sessions are collaborative and focused on action. You’ll leave each meeting with clear next steps, personalised resources, and the reassurance of knowing you have an experienced mentor walking alongside you.

Benefits of Coaching for New Therapists

Launching a private practice can feel exciting — but also overwhelming. Our coaching helps you cut through the uncertainty and focus on what matters most.

By working with us, you can:

  • Save time and avoid mistakes by learning from someone who has already navigated the challenges of private practice.
  • Gain clarity and direction on your services, pricing, and ideal client base.
  • Build confidence in running the business side of your practice, not just the clinical work.
  • Learn effective marketing strategies that feel authentic and ethical.
  • Develop systems and processes that keep your practice running smoothly.
  • Maintain work-life balance by setting boundaries and creating a sustainable schedule.

Whether you’re in Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, or anywhere else in the UK, our aim is to help you feel prepared, supported, and ready to grow a practice you’re proud of.

Real testimonials
from real people like you

DM Therapy helped me navigate one of the hardest seasons of my life.
My therapist was kind, honest, and completely non-judgemental.

I felt heard for the first time in a long while, and I’m leaving with the tools to keep moving forward.

Female client, age 37

We came to DM Therapy for couples sessions after years of struggling to communicate.
The process wasn’t always easy, but we felt genuinely supported throughout.

Our relationship feels stronger now, and we’re actually listening to each other again.

As a parent of a child with autism, I often felt overwhelmed and unsure where to turn.

The support I received through DM Therapy’s group sessions gave me real insight, emotional relief, and connection with others who understand the journey.
