Fit to Practice
Built by experienced psychologists and practice leaders, our programs draw on decades of expertise in clinical practice, regulation, governance and business. They are designed to help practitioners reduce risk, improve quality and build practices that are sustainable, well run and trusted.
Exploring the key domains of practice
Private practice can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time. This course guides you step by step as you prepare, plan and build a practice that is ethical, sustainable and right for you.
The book Creating Impact describes four pillars of successful practice. These pillars are essential, but how you put them into practice needs to be the right FIT for your business.
Fit to Practice – Level 1
Level 1 is the foundation program, designed to help you build a strong, ethical and sustainable private practice.
The course is created and delivered by three experienced clinicians and practice owners with more than 80 years of combined experience in private psychology practice. Each of us has founded, grown and successfully sold a group practice.
Across nine modules, Level 1 covers business structures and operations, finance, clinical governance, evidence-based strategies for client retention, professional development and therapeutic impact, and the foundations for scaling your practice and strengthening your business skills.
Fit to Practice – Level 2 & 3
Levels 2 and 3 are about running an established practice and growing, diversifying and even selling a practice in the future.
Each level has short video lessons, self-reflection exercises, applied tasks that build your personalised Practice Planbook and downloadable tools and templates. Written materials drawn from FIT to Practice and Creating Impact books.
