Are Your Assumptions Stopping You from Attracting Clients?

Have you ever decided not to tell someone about your private practice because you've assumed they won't be interested?Or perhaps hesitated because you think people won't be able to afford your fees?As therapists we can often tell ourselves that people won't want to hear about our practice and will think we're being pushy or we're too expensive. But are those assumptions really about other people - or about protecting us from anticipated rejection and disappointment?If we never tell people how we can help, we're taking away their opportunity to decide for themselves.In this short episode, we explore:The fear of rejection that can stop us talking about our private practiceHow we let our assumptions about what others will think stop us in our tracksThe importance of allowing potential clients to make their own decisionsReady to take the next step?If you'd like some practical support to become more visible and attract more of the clients you most want to help, I'd love to welcome you into Therapy Growth Group.Our 12 Action Steps programme is beginning again soon, guiding you through three months of manageable, practical actions to help you grow your private practice with confidence and without becoming someone you're not.You'll find all the details HERESetting up in private practice?
