Emotion Focused Therapy with Dr Anna OldershawWelcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. In this series, we're exploring the different ways that psychologists and therapists can work in independent practice. 
One thing I've come to appreciate over the past few years is how beneficial it can be for professional fulfilment and building your personal authority to maintain connections to a university. Dr. Anna Oldershaw is a clinical psychologist working independently and as a reader in clinical psychology at the Salomons Institute for Applied Psychology, which is part of Canterbury Christchurch University, and it's where I trained as a clinical psychologist. I've known Anna for a little while, as we've been working together on the marketing strategy for the emotion focused therapy courses that Anna convenes and teaches on at Salomons. Before I met Anna, I really didn't know very much about EFT, but when I started reading up on emotion focused therapy and I heard Anna describe the difference that it's made to clients, I got really excited about the possibility that it holds, especially for clients that might not get the most benefit from some of the talking therapies. So I'm really pleased to have Anna here today to talk to us about emotion focused therapy, EFT.

Passive Income Workshop:
The Passive Income Workshop is happening on Monday the 25th of March at 7pm live.
I'm running the workshop on how to bring passive income into your practice, so you can create more space. It's honest, with no get rich quick promises, but I will share what's worked for me and the many psychologists and therapists that I've supported to bring passive income into their practice. Crucially, I'll also...

What Mental Health Professionals Should Know About Passive IncomeI get a lot of rubbish in my inbox about online courses and how creating one is going to allow me to live a “laptop lifestyle” working from anywhere and having oodles of money and free time. It’s annoying because I think I've made a really successful job of passive and semi passive income over the last few years, but that still isn't anywhere near the lifestyle that I lead. Partly that is because I'm a mental health professional, so the passive and semi passive income that I've created reflects that. I haven't just decided to move into an industry which is particularly lucrative for this stuff, although my things have done well, I have made money from them, and I continue to do so. But I think maybe some of the gurus that are in our inboxes are selling a story which may have felt true to them, but perhaps it isn't the most self reflective story and perhaps doesn't reflect the circumstances in which they started their business, and certainly doesn't reflect the values and ethical considerations that I know everybody listening to this shares. So in this episode, I'm going to talk about the realities of passive and semi passive income for mental health professionals by dispelling some of the myths that you've probably heard. 
Myth 1: You can make a lot of money with little or no investment.For example, many of the people that land in my inbox talking about passive income had a lot of money to invest in their business at the beginning, or maybe they were in a position where they didn't need to take a salary from it for a long time because perhaps they'd left a very highly paid corporate job in order to pursue their dream, or maybe they had a very wealthy partner so they didn't have that pressure to bring an income in early.
This is really important because reaching profitability from an information product like an online course or a digital download, largely depends on scale. If you're selling a £47 course, and you...

Educational Psychology and Disability with Dr Kirstie ReesWelcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. In this series, we're exploring the different ways that psychologists and therapists can work in independent practice. I've been talking to a lot of authors recently, and it's always a real pleasure to do so because the passion and commitment that it takes to author a book is infectious, so I've been really looking forward to our interview with Dr Kirstie Rees today. Dr Kirstie Rees is a child and educational psychologist, specialised in the areas of disability, neurodiversity and mental health and wellbeing.

Just a quick note to say Merry Christmas and encourage you to take a moment to stop and reflect.
Here are my recommendations for some reflection:
Collect up your year, month by month what were the learnings, achievements and challenges (use your diary to help)
Ask yourself these questions:
1. what do you need to let go of from 2023?
3. what do you need to bring with you into 2024?
4. what do you want to create in 2024?
4. what does fulfilment look like for you?
Merry Christmas and happy reflecting! I will see you on the 29th for the new series of the Business of Psychology!
