Should you join Psychology Business School?

Who is Psychology Business School (PBS) right for?

PBS is the right course for you if:

• You are a mental health professional looking to create a private practice that helps you to live your values, support yourself financially and make a bigger impact on mental health. 
• You know you want to do more than therapy in your private work and/or are considering setting up a social enterprise. 
• You want to build a practice from the beginning or who feel you need to revisit your business plans and processes.

Who is PBS not right for?

PBS might not be the right course for you if:

• You already have a thriving practice and you are confident in your paperwork and processes. You might be a great fit for DMTT membership instead. 
• You are looking to make millions overnight. We teach how to build solid, ethical private practices and how to grow them through offering “more than therapy.” We don’t teach how to get a million Instagram followers in a month.  
• You can’t give some time and commitment. If you can’t give at least three hours a week to working ON your business then you won’t make the most of the course.

 FAQs

What is the difference between Psychology Business School and Do More Than Therapy?

Psychology Business School (PBS) is a new programme for people just starting out in private practice or people who want to rebuild their practice on solid foundations. By the end of the course you will:

• Feel confident that you have all the paperwork and processes you need to work in the online world (templates of all key documents written by a lawyer are included). 
• Break free from the fear of “not having enough” work by creating a marketing process that works for you (without sucking all your time).
• Unlock your creativity and focus on innovative ways to use your skills.

PBS students have weekly sessions that take them through a 12-week step by step programme for developing and marketing their practice. Students have access to the course for six months and can also take part in the DMTT masterclasses, peer supervision and office hours in this time. At the end of six months, you might want to join the DMTT membership and continue to grow your business with the support of a like-minded community.

The Do More Than Therapy Membership (DMTT)  is our monthly membership for psychologists and therapists who have a thriving private practice but want to grow and reach more people without burning out. The membership includes monthly masterclasses with experts in topics ranging from self-publishing a book to engaging with the media. Membership also includes access to monthly peer supervision sessions and weekly coaching calls (office hours) where we offer each other feedback and support. You can find out more about DMTT membership here.

What is included in PBS?

• A 12 week programme of masterclasses (excluding a 2 week consolidation break). Some classes are pre-recorded for instant access and others are live. The classes cover everything from setting up your business correctly to marketing your practice and preparing for growth.
• Downloadable templates for your legal documents created by a specialist lawyer (UK based)
• 6 months of access to the Do More Than Therapy masterclasses including the existing content library and new classes than happen live during your time on the course.
• 6 months of membership of the Do More Than Therapy Facebook Group
• 6 months access to Do More Than Therapy monthly peer supervision sessions
• 6 months of access to Do More Than Therapy office hours

When are sessions?

DMTT Office hours: Tuesdays at 2 pm

Peer supervision: Last Wednesday of the Month at 2 pm and 8 pm

Psychology Business School Classes: Thursdays from 12:00 - 13:30. You will receive your term dates in an email but generally, there is a six-week term followed by a two-week consolidation break and then another six-week term. 

DMTT masterclasses: Usually Wednesdays at 2 pm once a month. PBS students have access to all DMTT masterclasses for six months. 

NB. We invite guest experts to speak to us regularly so there will be some flexibility on days and times. You will receive reminders and zoom links via email and reminders on Facebook.

Do I have to attend training sessions live?

I would encourage you to come along live as much as possible so you can ask questions and benefit from the support of other students however all sessions are recorded and workbooks are provided so you can learn whenever suits you. 

What results can I expect?

The skills and strategies we will share with you in PBS are grounded in experience, research and the expertise of our speakers. However, the results you get depend on your commitment to working ON your business. I encourage everyone starting the programme to join a mindset session before the official start date of the course. You will receive your invitation by email and I strongly recommend that you attend if at all possible. If you can’t make it you can watch a replay of the DMTT mindset course. In my experience, the biggest barrier to achieving what you want from your private practice is usually imposter syndrome and overwhelm. Thankfully we can use our therapeutic skills and the support of the community to tackle these. If you are ever struggling to implement what you are learning (whatever the reason) then use peer supervision, office hours or the Facebook community to speak up.

Does the course include coaching?

We have weekly “office hour” coaching calls where you can bring problems you are facing and work for feedback. You can also ask me questions in the DMTT Facebook group which you will be invited to. My working hours are 9-5 Monday to Friday and my team keep the same hours. We will make every effort to reply when you tag us in posts but we may not respond outside of working time. If we haven’t responded after 24 hours (Mon-Fri) then please re-tag us as we might just have missed the post. I cannot guarantee that you will get individual feedback from me during office hour as they can be busy but if you submit your question in advance on the dedicated thread in our FB group I will make every effort to address it. If you know you would benefit from 1:1 coaching then please contact us to discuss our small group and individual coaching options. 

Do I have to be on Facebook to take part?

No. All of the PBS content is hosted in our dedicated membership site and classes take place on zoom so there is no need to be on Facebook if you don’t want to be. That said, the DMTT member’s group (which you are invited to as a PBS student) is a supportive and exciting community to be part of so I very much encourage you to join. 

What makes you different from other marketing courses?

I have done a lot of marketing courses. I enjoy them if I’m honest. BUT they don’t always sit well with the reality of working as a mental health professional. I know that you are time-poor, imposter syndrome ridden and ethical people and this course is built with that in mind. Yes, we will cover a lot of the same ground as more generic courses but everything we do is tailored to YOUR needs.

PBS is part of our social enterprise, The Innovation in Mental Health Project CIC. That means that any profit made from the programme goes into funding new initiatives in mental health or the provision of mental health services to vulnerable groups. So when you invest with us you know you are part of a movement to improve the mental health of the country at the same time.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes, you can pay in 6 instalments of £99. If money is tight at the start of your practice it can be helpful to consider that (on average) the cost is the same as just one therapy session a month so if we help you get just one extra client the course has paid for itself. 

Do you offer refunds?

If you access the materials, engage with the community and feel that the course has not benefited you then we are happy to offer a money-back guarantee. If you have not taken part in the community or classes this will not be valid. 

What happens at the end?

When you have completed the programme you will then have access to the course and the DMTT membership for an additional 10 weeks. This gives you 6 months in total to complete the course and catch up on anything you have missed. At the end of this time, you will be invited to join the DMTT membership so you can continue to benefit from the monthly masterclasses and community.
