I am finding this podcast so helpful and really appreciate having an Australian source of information.

Thank you so much for the honesty and transparency in providing detailed costs involved in running a private practice! Much appreciated!

I am absolutely loving (and bingeing) this podcast. As an early career psychologist every episode is very relevant and taking away so much from each. I am constantly sharing with my supervisor my key take aways from episodes. Highly recommend taking a listen!
Thank you for creating an Australian early career psychologist podcast!
