Supporting you to better wellbeing
Mentoring for Therapists
Louise Green offers Mentoring for Holistic Practitioners, Bodyworkers and Massage Therapists.
One to one professional support for you from an experienced therapist in your field
This can be an occasional session, a course of sessions on a particular issue or regular ongoing guidance.
With mentoring you set the agenda. It can be what you need it to be.
Mentoring provides a compassionate, confidential space for you to talk about your work as a therapist to a fellow professional who is experienced in your field of work. It is considered a tax deductible business expense and is a valuable investment in yourself and your practice.
In talking therapies, undertaking regular supervision as well as your own therapy is seen as an essential part of your training and development. It is mandatory for counsellors and psychotherapists.
Holistic Practitioners and Bodyworkers don't have this requirement in our framework as therapists but we benefit hugely from having regular support from a mentor. It helps us be better practitioners, allows us to help our clients better and makes it more likely that we stay in practice and have a sustainable and satisfying career as a therapist.
You support your clients; who supports you?
Who can you talk things through with in confidence when you need to?
Who gets what it is like to work as a self employed solo practitioner with its unique challenges where you are often running a business alongside the real work of treating clients?
Who helps you explore your professional hopes and dreams for your career development?
You might want support with setting yourself up in practice, have had a break from practice and want to get going again, want to make changes and want help and advice as to how to proceed, want a space to process everything that goes on in your treatment room, or want someone to help keep you accountable to reaching the goals you have set yourself.
It is often a space to figure out how to manage problems and develop opportunities in your practise but can also be a more personalised form of emotional support to help hold space for you just as you do for your clients.
Mentoring can involve elements of coaching, consultancy and/or counselling. It really is up to you.
No plans or formulas, no one size fits all programmes; bespoke sessions to suit your needs..
As with all Louise's services, come as you are, say what is going on for you, talk about what you are looking for help with and how you would like to proceed, and we will figure it out together one session at a time or over a course of sessions as you prefer.
Mentoring is available in person in clinic or online with a videocall.
Your first session will generally be a getting to know you session and we will figure out where to go from there.

You can book a set of 4 sessions to be used over 3 months for £200 which would be a good place to start your mentoring journey.
A single session of mentoring is 60 minutes, £60
Mentoring sessions can be taken outside of Louise's clinic hours so please get in touch if the appointment slots don't work well for you as we may be able to set up a mutually agreeable regular slot.
