Thank you so so much for making this video! I’m doing my BSc in psychotherapy and I’m at the point where I’m thinking about doing a MA and I have so much uncertainty about what I want to do. This is and has been amazing insight. Thanks again.

I was freaked out going straight to my niche. Thankfully a copywriter wouldn’t take no for an answer. ❤️

Gestalt, nature therapy, & narrative. How do you market that integrative approach?

I'm so torn about having a specific niche. I live in a rural area and there are a lot of therapists. So when I get a referral I hate to have a specific population I work with because I don't get the referral. (I do have some populations I don't work with but I am more of a generalist.) Any advice for me? (And I would LOVE to know how to get SEO for a nearby city that I don't live in? ) :)
