Welcome to Episode 128 - Private practice social work with Tammy Roche
There’s immense freedom that comes with starting a small business, but that freedom comes at a cost. You’re wearing multiple hats from doing the therapy to marketing, to admin, finances, legal, health and safety… and so much more. The time freedom you yearned for coming into private practice is often exchanged for longer hours, fear and the unknown.
And this might sound daunting (and trust me it is!), but it’s also rewarding. Watching something blossom from nothing but your hard work gives you much more satisfaction than working for big corporations. I’ve been there before, and whilst I am working harder and longer in private practice; I doubt I could ever go back to a standard 9-5.
Join me as I explore private practice social work with fellow social worker Tammy Roche. Tammy shares her story of coming into private practice and how her entrepreneurial mindset has seen her succeed with businesses in both Australia and Canada. It’s a great episode for those social workers (but anyone in the helping professions) seeking a move into private practice.
In this episode Tammy shares:
Key quotes
“social work to me is me living and doing life, doing work with my values first, leading the way”
“who is it somebody said that quote, shame disappears when your stories can be heard in safe places”
“how can you strengthen other people's voices if you don't strengthen your own first?”
