THRIVE
6 month group mentorship programme
*Thrive is pausing for 2025*
To reflect significant business and life transitions for us both, Thrive will no longer be running in 2025. It's important to us that we practice our values of sustainability and congruence, and we're excited to reopen when we are fully resourced.
We really appreciate your interest and support!
Are you an ambitious therapist in private practice seeking to grow your business?
Would you like to optimise how you're working to better align with your goals and dreams for your business?
Do you want to expand your practice beyond 1:1 therapy and develop multiple income streams to boost both your finances and work satisfaction?
Would connection with fellow business-minded therapists feel welcome and supportive?
If the answer is yes, then we created THRIVE for therapists just like you!
"I joined this group because I was feeling really alone in my private practice and wanted to connect with other ambitious therapists. Honestly, it’s been amazing to experience so many ‘me too’ moments, where I realised I’m not the only one going through certain challenges. It’s been wonderful to have a group of cheerleaders who understand and support each other. Not to mention the wealth of practical wisdom about running a private practice that focuses on thriving - not just hustling - have been incredibly helpful."

Perhaps you'll resonate...
As therapists we go through extensive training and undergo clinical supervision to ensure that we are qualified and equipped to support our clients.
We may also have personal therapy to help us navigate our own life challenges, but what about the business challenges of running a private practice?
Where do you take your questions about what systems can help with ethical admin? Who do you ask about how to approach a fee increase (and get guidance on how to have those awkward conversations?!)
How do you gain evidence-based guidance on how to market yourself better or launch a new offering?
Tailored for therapists already in practice, our 6-month mentorship is designed to help you clarify your business vision, accelerate action and growth and to connect you with a group of like-minded colleagues who really 'get it'.
THRIVE is for therapists interested in:
If you're keen on diversifying income streams, mastering fees and finances, and creating a sustainable schedule that suits your lifestyle, Thrive is your catalyst.
Sustainability
Whether your definition of success includes financial milestones, professional goals, or achievements, Thrive is for therapists with ambition and vision.
Success
Thriving is as much about how fulfilling your business feels as it is financial abundance. We want to help you identify the work you love and do more of it!
Satisfaction
“The Thrive process has been supportive, inspiring, insightful and knowledgeable! Charlotte and Elsie provide a meaningful space for business-focused communication and exploration. They actively listen to each members unique focus/experiences and offer their insights to support. It has also been lovely to receive support from the other group members too. It was a space that felt incredibly safe and everyone was valued. I feel very proud to be part of the first Thrive - what a fantastic space you have created for therapists. Thank you both!!”

More about the programme:
Our next cohort starts in 2026 - dates to be confirmed. We'll meet bi-weekly from September to March, with the option to join a monthly continuum thereafter.
There are 8 spaces available, and all calls are held on Friday mornings.
The programme includes:
Fortnightly group mentoring sessions: We'll meet online every other week (Fridays at 10am - 12pm). Everyone will have at least one 30min 'slot' per month to share and get personal input from us and the group. You'll be able to bring questions, challenges and anything else you'd like support with, as well as gain invaluable insights from witnessing what the rest of the group bring.
Online strategy days: we will come together as a group for 2 longer online 'strategy' days (10am - 3pm UK time on Fridays), at the start and 3 months in. Designed to propel you and your business forward, these are an opportunity to dive deep into strategic planning, reflect on progress so far and focus on growth and innovation.
Optional monthly group mentoring sessions: after the initial 6 months, there will be the option to move to meeting monthly (Fridays at 10am - 2pm). Everyone will have one 30min sharing slot per call, where the focus will be on accountability and taking action as the group nears its end.
The aim is to attend all calls live, but recordings will be available if you're unable to attend or wish to watch a session back.
WhatsApp group: this is a go-to space for camaraderie, cheerleading, and connection - as humans, not just as therapists. Share successes, seek input from each other, and build a network that lasts beyond the programme.
"I would absolutely recommend Thrive to other therapists. If you’re feeling lost, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions in your practice — this space will help you come home to yourself. It’s not just about business strategy (though there’s plenty of that too); it’s about reconnecting with who you are, what matters to you, and how you want your practice to feel. Thrive gave me the confidence to do things my way — and I’ve come away with clarity, energy, belonging, and a deeper trust in myself and my work. I’ll be forever grateful."

“This has been invaluable. You can ask anything, from bookkeeping to boundaries and everything in between. Charlotte and Elsie are a wealth of knowledge and support and the nuggets and gems you will get from your cohort will be incredible. Charlotte and Elsie have a gift for bringing the right people together, at the right stage. Thrive has given me so much more than business growth. It’s the best time and money I’ve invested this year and I’ll be forever grateful.”

FAQs:
Is this a coaching programme?
This is mentoring, not coaching. From our experience (we have both invested substantially in business coaching) coaching tends to be goal-oriented, typically income-focussed and not always industry-specific. We’re both working in our practices and have extensive experience to share based on what has and hasn’t worked well for us, hence this is a mentoring offering. Whilst we will absolutely be spending time building your business vision and thinking about things like increasing income, there will also be space to bring the current, everyday challenges of your practice, not just work on the goals. The best label we’ve found to describe our support is ‘business supervision’.
Will I get personal feedback/mentoring?
We are keeping the group to a maximum of 8 members to allow for at least one 30 minute personal mentoring ‘slot’ per month for each member within our group calls. There will also be additional opportunities for personal input during our strategy days. The structure of our sessions is based on the huge value that comes not just from sharing and being supported individually, but from witnessing the journeys of our fellows, as they inevitably navigate familiar and shared challenges.
What is a strategy day?
These are longer days at the 2 points throughout the programme. The focus will be on taking stock, building your vision for the next 3 months and planning how you’ll create the changes you’re seeking. We’re really excited about the value having these longer focussed spaces to work ‘on’ your business will bring, especially when it comes not only to setting intentions, but taking action to actually make them happen!
Will there be support from Charlotte and Elsie between calls?
The mentoring aspect of the programme will be contained within our fortnightly group calls, where everyone will have at least one opportunity to share at length, and receive personalised input, per month. The WhatsApp group will provide connection between calls, but is reserved primarily for peer connection and support. Charlotte and Elsie will be present in the group but any requests for direct mentoring support shared there will be responded to at the next group call. The WhatsApp group is a space to connect with each other as humans first, therapists second and the group calls, the opposite.
Will the group mentoring calls and strategy days be recorded?
We strongly encourage you to attend live unless you absolutely can’t. All sessions will be recorded for playback purposes and if needed, for those unable to attend on the day.
Can I leave the programme early?
We have chosen to make this a 6-month offering with an optional 4 month continuum, in the spirit of fostering a long-term support structure not just for you as a therapist, but for you as a human, too. However, there will be the option to leave the after 3 months if you're not happy with the programme. We intend to offer you something unique, that we both feel therapists in private practice are missing: tailored business support that speaks to the challenges and nuances of the nature of our work, within a community of like-minded fellows who, over time, we hope will start to feel like your trusted colleagues.
