Does this sound like you?
You studied so dang hard to become a therapist, you had BIG dreams, a passion for being a helper and were determined to make meaningful change.
Then you finally got into the real world into your *dream* career and it's been....well, underwhelming.
Perhaps you're not where you thought you would be by now, and are wondering whether all that blood, sweat and tears was actually worth it?
Maybe you're not working with your ideal clients, or your employer is pushing you to see waaaay more clients that what feel is ethical, maybe you crave more autonomy, perahps you come home feeling drained and with no energy for your loved ones or hobbies, or perhaps you're just sick of only making ends just meet financially.
Your nervous system is shot, you feel completely disenfranchised, unaligned, and quite frankly, you're over it.
If you said yes to any of the above..
we're so glad you're here.
We get it...
Four years ago we were stuck in roles that didn't light us up, we felt disenfranchised, just getting by financially, under-appreciated and frankly.. over it.
But after opening up our Private Practice, we quickly learnt (with many mistakes and set-backs in tow) that Private Practice was the answer to many of these feelings.
We started to feel excited to go to work, we were feeling so much more satisfaction in our roles, our clinical skills were accelerating, we got to be creative, analytical, we had times for our families and hobbies outside of work, we were earning six figures in the first year (we were both able to buy homes + said goodbye to our HECS debts), and are now in a position where our practice works like clockwork in the background with very little input from us.
(Also, we get to bring our fur babies to work everyday, arguably this is the BEST perk)
We felt alive again and actually feeling like we were living our dreams.
And we wanna show you (yes, you!) how we got there.
If you're a mental health therapist* and..
✨ Want to make a greater impact with clients who actually light you up...
✨ Want to end your work days with energy for the people you love...
✨ Have a significantly higher income potential, decide your own income and finally actually get ahead financially....
✨ Fast-track your professional development and career progression...
✨ Want complete freedom over your schedule, routine and client hours (hello, Fridays off!)...
✨ Want a career and life that feels more aligned with who you are, your values and your nervous system needs a bit of a break!
Then you're in the right place...
*suitable for psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists, mental health nurses, social workers, occupational therapists and any other clinician working in a mental health setting in Australia
So, who are we?
We are Aimee and Kat the creators of The Thriving Therapists.
We are two IRL Aussie best friends and therapists (Aimee a clinical psychotherapist, Kat a psychologist and supervisor) who have big dreams to help other therapists reach their wild dreams.
We started the Thriving Therapists because when we started our Private Practice, we felt as female therapists with less than five years experience that we 'weren't allowed' or it was taboo open a practice. That this was only reserved for those who has umpteen years of experience.
And so we put it off for a while, until one day we said screw it and took the leap of faith.
Now five years later, we have a fully booked practice, a growing team of five, we genuinely LOVE our jobs, we have financial and time freedom, we have had some incredible opportunities (speaking at fancy pants conferences, collaborating with major health and wellness corporations) and we actually have energy for life outside of work.
Along the way we have helped other therapists to open up their own practices, and now feel we are ready to share our knowledge, our advice (and what not to do's) with other therapists.
Our mission has, and always will be to help therapists thrive within and beyond the therapy chair and now we can't wait to share how you can live your dreams and thrive.

What others have said about
Dream Build Thrive
I wish that I was able to have completed this course prior to setting up my private practice. It would have been an absolute game charger! The stress and confusion it would have reduced - so perfect for an early career therapist looking at starting their journey in private practice. It really is a little dream black book.
I could not recommend this course enough to anyone in the early stages of setting up a private practice. It provides a solid foundation and is especially useful for therapists who may feel overwhelmed due to the gap in education.
Thank you for building such an incredible community and creating a course where you do not feel so alone and normalise the fact you don't have to have it all figured out.

I wanted to pass on that the structure of the course and the weekly check ins really helped me to keep on task. I generally find a lot of online learning quite disengaging given it’s largely self-directed but having you both to go through content and share with the group really kept me focused and motivated each week.
I think my biggest stand out though was simply having both of you there. You both are so clearly made to be therapists, and your clients are very lucky to have you!

It was amazing! The course provided a good framework for the key ingredients necessary to establish a private practice...Other places where we may find similar information would be speaking to other practitioners who would have established their own businesses.
The little red book was also amazing for connecting us to the necessary marketing, legal, accounting etc. supports as well.
[For anyone wanting] to start their own PP, it would be a great course to do - it provides the framework/check list for things that need to be considered when establishing the PP, as well as contacts; e.g. marketing, website design etc.
