What if you don’t believe you can be a private practice therapist? In this episode, Fi Hewkin shares her journey from doubting her abilities to building a successful therapy practice. We talk about overcoming imposter syndrome, making your profile sound like you, and why there’s room for everyone - even in a crowded market.When Fi Hewkin first considered becoming a therapist, she was convinced she couldn’t do it. Growing up being told she wasn’t academic, leaving school with three O-levels, and believing she’d never be “professional enough,” private practice felt out of reach.In this episode, she shares how, despite years of self-doubt, she slowly built her confidence - and her private practice. From that first directory profile that didn’t sound like her, to embracing her authentic self (complete with pink hair and DMs), Fi’s story is an honest and encouraging look at what it really takes to succeed.We talk about:How Fi shifted from “I can’t do this” to running a thriving practiceWhy making her profile sound like her changed everythingThe importance of authenticity in therapy marketingOvercoming the fear of charging clients and raising feesBalancing a busy client load and recognising personal limitsPractical marketing steps Fi used to get clients (and what she avoids!)How running a low-cost community project keeps her groundedIf you’ve ever thought, “I’m not good enough to make this work,” this conversation is for you.Find Fi at her website or her Facebook pageSetting up in private practice?
