The First 10 Clients — Building a Therapy Practice

A 4-hour live workshop for newly qualified/qualifying therapists.

Getting your first clients. Pricing. Referrals. Websites. Visibility. Confidence. Paperwork. Everything nobody taught you after you qualified.

Here's what I see  time and again in audits, in supervision, in peer support: visibility is the thing we stress about most. Social media? A directory? Cards into the local pharmacy? They all work — and most of us already know what to do. The block was never the information. It's what sits underneath it: the fear that keeps us "getting ready" instead of getting started.

A second and just as big an issue is 'I will start when x' The time to start this is now, marketing has a 30-90 day lag, there is nothing to be disheartend about with this you are not behind but if you wait until August and 

So this is the practical, repeatable side of building a practice — and an honest look at what actually stops us.

We'll cover:

• How to get your first 10 clients

• Visibility that works — without the dread

• Pricing and money, honestly

• Referrals and relationships

• What actually matters online (and what doesn't)

• Paperwork and systems, kept simple

• Confidence: starting before you feel ready

You'll leave with a clear plan you can repeat — plus a workbook, a usable client contract, social media prompts, and the recording to keep. 4 hours CPD + certificate.

A note on the price. €40 is a lot of money for many in this economy. We're all out here doing our best, and things are hard right now — that's exactly why I've kept this as low as I can while still being able to run it properly. If you're newly qualified and finding your feet, this is meant for you, those who need this most are often those with the least means as therapists.

📅 Saturday 13 June · 9:30–13:30 (Irish time) · live online via Zoom  (this will be a recorded session even if you cant/do not wish to attend live you will still get full benefit and resrouces)· €40 (plus booking fee)

Facilitated by James Byrne — psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and founder of Rainbow Minds.
