Therapists often find my paperwork shop when setting up private practice and can’t face the 30 or 40… or even 50 hours of reading, researching and formatting policies.
They want to make sure their i's are dotted and t's are crossed.
Luckily, I love paperwork. No, really! Even though I love being a therapist, I'm a policies and procedures geek with a professional background in insurance and compliance.
I am passionate about researching ethical guidelines and providing clear, professional, lawyer approved document templates that support clients at their most vulnerable moments, help therapists to feel confident and prepared AND protect our private practices.
I've worked with therapists, researchers, solicitors and lay people to make these documents professional and clear, and I hope they save you time and stress!
Here's how it works...
Who Are These Documents For?
SETTING UP PRACTICE
If you are a counsellor, psychotherapist or psychologist starting your own private practice, these documents will save time so you can get up and running.
You can edit them in an afternoon and welcome your first client the next day!
RETURNING TO PRACTICE
After a break, some of us like to review our policies and procedures and make sure we are up to date with ethical guidelines.
Having our documents in order supports our professionalism and means we can get back to the work as soon as we want to.
EXPANDING PRACTICE
For therapists switching between online and in person, getting documents organised can alleviate stress and increase confidence. Therapists expanding their practice abroad will benefit from professional, lawyer reviewed privacy policies and supporting documentation.

- 1Diversity, Equity & Anti Racism Our documents include wording suggestions for a Personal Values Statement, Anti Racism Commitment and Inclusivity and Diversity Statement. We consulted with Anti Racism and Racial Trauma Professionals on a coaching, training and ethical review basis with respect to document wordings and company practices.
- 2Affirming & Inclusive Our documents use gender inclusive and affirming terminology and we encourage Therapists to do this in session. We have undertaken training and consulted with LGBTQIA+ Professionals with lived experience regarding wording and script suggestions.
- 3Ethical & Sustainable We pay all consultants and independent contractors their asking rate and do not solicit services without fair payment or exchange. We are committed to working with people of diverse experiences, racial and cultural backgrounds and professional expertise.
