About the Book

Paperback book cover of Creating Impact

Private psychology practices are trusted by governments and their communities to deliver psychology services. But we are desperately underpowered in our approach to what is required.

There are multiple challenges facing us within our practices and externally, including demands for services, system reforms, workforce issues, clinical governance shortfalls and financial sustainability pressures. There has been no clear advice on a model that will carry you through this landscape, until now.

“Creating Impact: The four pillars of private psychology practice”, is a comprehensive guide to building the psychology practice of your dreams in a complex, volatile and uncertain future.

Creating Impact delivers an integrated pathway to success for all practices and practitioners regardless of size. If you want to build a successful psychology practice and if you have more years ahead in our profession than you have already undertaken, then Creating Impact is for you.
