For psychologists, psychotherapists & coaches
Business strategy consultancy for mental health practitioners.
Not coaching. Not marketing. Someone who actually understands business; four decades of business experience: thirty in banking, project management and risk, and ten with mental health practitioners, applied entirely to yours.
Who I work with
Established practitioners who’ve hit a ceiling.
I’m a business consultant for psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists, therapists and coaches who have built real expertise but have run into the limits of doing it all alone.
- You’ve been in business for a few years but growth has stalled, and you can’t see why.
- You want to create a course, a group programme or a digital product but don’t know where to start commercially.
- You’re doing good work but the right people don’t know you exist.
- You want to access organisational clients (NHS, employers, education) but don’t know how to position yourself for them.
- You feel like you’re making it up as you go, and you’d like someone in your corner who has actually built businesses before.
What I do
Four things that make a business grow.
Whatever the starting point, these are the four things my work comes back to, designed specifically for mental health practitioners.
Build your strategy
Turn years of expertise into a clear business plan: positioning, realistic financials, and a route to market.
Reach the right people
Access individual clients, professional organisations, employers and referral networks that become consistent sources of work.
Build for the long term
Build the systems and commercial relationships that make growth sustainable, with an experienced partner alongside you.
Regular maintenance
Regular maintenance and updates keep your business strategic, sustainable and secure, from risk and compliance reviews to website security.
A note on what this is (or isn’t)
“If you want a traditional marketing agency or a business coach, there are plenty of good ones. That’s not what I do.”
- Not
A marketing agency - Not
A website agency - Not
Business coaching - Not
Generic mindset work - It is: Strategy.
Informing Minds is strategic business consultancy, backed by four decades of real commercial experience, applied specifically to mental health practitioners who are serious about growth. I can deliver everything listed here, but always in service of your strategy, never as a standalone task.
What clients say
Practitioners who found the path past the ceiling.
Both came with real expertise and a business that had stalled. Here is what working together looked like, in their words.
“He took the time to meet me and discuss the needs of my business before creating a plan to help it expand. I had wanted to expand the business for some time but couldn’t quite see how to do this and Brian was able to map out a path that has led to a successful, sustainable business… Investing in a few months work with Brian has been invaluable.”
“Although we are oceans apart (Australia/UK) Brian has demonstrated a commitment to deliver what he preaches… I have come to view Brian as a colleague and highly recommend his services.”
Three ways to work together
The right engagement for where you are.
Each service line is distinct, but they’re designed to work together, and most clients move between them over time.
