S11 | E8 A Day in My Life as a Therapist (4 Years On)

Four years after my first "Day in the Life" video, I’m revisiting what a typical day looks like as a private practice therapist. In this video, I share the habits, routines, and boundaries that have helped me build a sustainable career over the last 15 years.

In this video, I revisit my “day in the life of a therapist”, not as someone newly qualified, but years into building a private practice.

What does the work actually feel like now?
What’s become easier… and what still matters just as much?

I take you through a typical day, from my morning regulation routine to supervision, client sessions, and the reality of administration,  including some of the things I wish I’d known when I first qualified. We also look at how the profession is changing, including the rise of online therapy and using platforms like YouTube to reach a global audience.

Along the way, I share some of the things I wish I’d known earlier, especially if you’re thinking about becoming a therapist, currently in training, or finding your way in the early stages of your career.
