About this episode

Emotion Focused Therapy with Dr Anna Oldershaw

Welcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. In this series, we're exploring the different ways that psychologists and therapists can work in independent practice. 

One thing I've come to appreciate over the past few years is how beneficial it can be for professional fulfilment and building your personal authority to maintain connections to a university. Dr. Anna Oldershaw is a clinical psychologist working independently and as a reader in clinical psychology at the Salomons Institute for Applied Psychology, which is part of Canterbury Christchurch University, and it's where I trained as a clinical psychologist. I've known Anna for a little while, as we've been working together on the marketing strategy for the emotion focused therapy courses that Anna convenes and teaches on at Salomons. Before I met Anna, I really didn't know very much about EFT, but when I started reading up on emotion focused therapy and I heard Anna describe the difference that it's made to clients, I got really excited about the possibility that it holds, especially for clients that might not get the most benefit from some of the talking therapies. So I'm really pleased to have Anna here today to talk to us about emotion focused therapy, EFT.

Full show notes and a transcript of this episode are available at The Business of Psychology

Passive Income Workshop:

The Passive Income Workshop is happening on Monday the 25th of March at 7pm live.

I'm running the workshop on how to bring passive income into your practice, so you can create more space. It's honest, with no get rich quick promises, but I will share what's worked for me and the many psychologists and therapists that I've supported to bring passive income into their practice. Crucially, I'll also share what you need to have in place to make it work so that you can create a realistic plan.

Don't worry if you can't make it live, there will be a recording, but if you can come along I'll make sure that there is a good chunk of time to answer questions, so you'll leave with a plan to bring more flexibility, financial stability and freedom into your practice. If that sounds good, follow the link and I'll see you there:
