Wanting to grow a sustainable private practice in 2026? The advice used to be simple: get on a directory, have a good website and wait. Those things are still important, but search has changed, AI is around and clients are potentially finding and connecting with therapists in lots of other different ways today.

The Prosper in Private Practice Summit (21–26 June, FREE) is designed to help therapists think clearly about all this, not with panic, but with grounded conversations from people who understand the reality of running an ethical and successful therapy practice in 2026.

I'm really pleased to say I'm one of the 25+ speakers at the Summit this year. My talk is on 'Beyond Instagram: Using YouTube to Attract Clients and Grow Your Practice'. I'll be talking about why I think YouTube is such a great way to connect with potential clients, along with some things I wish I'd known about being a YouTube content creator if I was starting that journey today.

* Dr Paula Hall on overcoming compulsive s*xual behaviour and recovery from s*x addiction (recording this month)

* Dr Henry Aughterson on training to become a therapist as a doctor and the differences between the medical model and psychotherapy

* Jeremy Lipkowitz on overcoming p**n addiction, mindfulness, and personal growth (recording next month)

* Dr Joshua Gebhardt on s*xuality, disclosure within relationships, mixed-orientation couples, and what helps when a relationship faces crisis

Let me know what you think in the comments below any of the conversations and also if there's anyone else you'd like to me talk to and subjects you'd like me to cover on the channel in the future. Thanks for watching and for your support of the channel!

Was really pleased to have spoken with on my YouTube channel recently. It was a great conversation about his choice to train as a therapist and how he's finding it all.

I also asked him for one piece of life advice and he talked about how we often resist prioritising our own wellbeing because we fear it’s "selfish." The reality is the opposite though - when you are mentally and emotionally aligned, you can be the best friend, the best partner and the best version of yourself for those who need you.

I was included in this short highlights clip from Rail Wellbeing Live which was lovely to see. A recording of a practice of my talk is now up on my YouTube channel. It was about staying connected in a digital world and includes a look at both social media and artificial intelligence, hope it’s helpful 👍

Yesterday I spoke at Rail Wellbeing Live 2026, part of a week of conversations about mental health at work. The subject was ‘Staying Human in a Digital World’ looking at how we make sure the various digital media actually help us maintain connection in our lives, rather than interfering with it.

I was followed by an amazing, inspiring talk by , which was great. Really enjoyed being part of it all and
I’ll be sharing a recording on YouTube soon of one of my practices, although it seemed to be different every time : ) More on that in the next week or two.

Thanks to everyone who attended and engaged and to Rail Wellbeing Live for the invite!

I’m really pleased to say that I’ll be speaking at Rail Wellbeing Live 2026, the rail industry’s biggest health and wellbeing event.

It’s a great line-up this year, including Joe Marler, Frank Bruno MBE, Giovanna Fletcher and Dr Nighat Arif and I’m delighted to be contributing alongside them.

My session will look at how we stay emotionally connected in a world shaped by technology, the impact of AI on therapy and wellbeing, and the practical things that help us feel more grounded, supported and connected to each other in daily life.

I'll also record my talk for my YouTube channel in the New Year and let you know when it's up!
