Therapy for Business Owners
There’s nothing that compares to being a Business Owner or Entrepreneur. It’s a rollercoaster of a job – enjoyable, challenging, rewarding, constantly changing and frequently stressful.
Your mindset plays a vital role in the success of your business, the sustainability of the job, the quality of your life, and on the state of your overall well-being.
Manage it well – you will thrive. Get stuck in overthinking – you’ll suffer. That’s why an increasing number of Business Owners are seeking out private therapy.
Is it time you did too?


High-Functioning but still suffering
The idea that therapy is only for those who are unwell is outdated. All my clients are high functioning – holding down jobs, family life, home life etc. But they recognise that they’re stuck, that they’re getting in their own way, that the overthinking is polluting it all.
Therapy for Business Owners benefits both your personal and professional development. The best investment you can make.
Overcoming problems such as Anxiety, Stress, Overthinking, Burnout, People Pleasing and Imposter Syndrome will give you a newfound freedom to Thrive.

Counselling for Business Owners
Research in 2021 showed that 4 out of 5 Business Owners experience problems within their mental health a few times a year. So, when you think you’re the only one, you’re far from it.
Business Owners are go-getters and problem solvers. You like to figure things out for yourself, so accessing Private Therapy probably wasn’t your first thought – maybe you tried a self-help book, or a podcast first.
But there is no match for Therapy. It’s personalised and specific to you.
As an experienced therapist I can identify:
What the problem is
The root of the problem (the why)
The ways you think and cope that are keeping you stuck
Which CBT Therapy strategies to teach you

Therapist for Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs deal with high stress as part of their day to day work existence – financial uncertainty, risky decisions, constant pivots, isolation, creativity demands and more.
As an entrepreneur, working with a therapist early on, significantly improves your chances of businesses longevity, ensures you don’t lose track of life outside your business, and works to eliminate stuck points before they create a problem.
You don’t need to wait until things fall apart, you can get ahead of the game.
Psychotherapy versus Business Coaching
If you’re a business owner experiencing challenges, you might think that seeing a business coach is the obvious solution. It certainly can be helpful, and business coaching can really help motivate us in pushing forwards with business goals. But what if the barrier to our success is rooted in anxiety, self-esteem or other emotional issues? That’s when seeing a Business Therapist makes much more sense.
A business coach might help you with efficiency in your business, in improving systems and the customer experience. A therapist will work with you as a whole, not just you as a business owner. The better your emotional resilience, the better your business will thrive.


Therapy for Business Owners How it helps
The 7 most common problems I work with Business Owners to tackle:
- Imposter Syndrome
- Burnout
- Letting go of control
- Perfectionism
- Excessive worry
- Problems with Boundaries
- Difficulty relaxing, switching off, and sleeping

Imposter Syndrome
Imposter Syndrome makes even the most accomplished Business Owners feel like frauds. Ironically, research shows that the more you succeed, the stronger these feelings can become. The more of an imposter we feel, the less confident we become in our abilities and decisions. This self-doubt leads to two common reactions:
- Overcompensating – Spending excess time on products/services, under-charging for your worth, over-explaining your decisions, apologising, or chasing unattainable perfection
- Avoidance – Hesitating to take on new opportunities, struggling with self-promotion, resisting growth etc

Work Life Imbalance
Many Business Owners and Entrepreneurs work long hours and rarely take proper time off. Whilst dedication is important, overworking over a sustained period of time is a massive risk factor for burnout. Burnout leads to decreased productivity, a lack of motivation, and a general decline in both physical and mental health – something you definitely want to avoid!
In therapy you will learn how to run a business that supports a good quality of life (after all that’s why most of us set up our own business in the first place). We can explore the barriers that get in the way of you making the decisions and implementing boundaries that are in your own best interests.

Letting Go of Control - Achieve Freedom
Transitioning from Solopreneur to CEO can be really challenging. Many business owners have control tendencies, they like to know everything, be involved with everything, oversee everything. But the more employees you get, the more your role needs to change from the doing to the bigger picture stuff in order for your business to thrive.
Business Therapy can help you to:
- Conquer the anxiety of letting go of control
- Improve your prioritisation and delegation skills
- Develop your leadership mindset and scale your business effectively

Perfectionism: The curse of the impossible
Ah, good old perfectionism, the pursuit of what is not humanly possible. Perfectionism isn’t just about having high standards or high self-expectation, it’s about the relentless pursuit of something that will always be out of reach no matter how hard we try.
Many perfectionists are black and white thinkers – if it’s not perfect it’s a disaster/awful/failure. Imperfections that no-one else would notice result in you discarding work or doing constant revisions. The stuck cycles of procrastination, inefficiency and stress can easily follow.

Excessive Worrying – Learn to Stop
Some worry as a business owner is necessary to avoid being reckless or making poor decisions. But when you’re lost in the never-ending worst-case scenarios of ‘what if…’ and ‘what if …’, it’s no longer serving any useful purpose.
Impact of worry:
- Paralysis in decision making
- Seeking certainty and avoiding risk
- Reassurance seeking
- Excessive research and planning

The Boundary Conundrum
Business Owners can struggle at times to say no – to clients, projects and colleagues. If you’re focused too much on making sure others are happy, you’re losing track of what you need, and what your business needs.
Poor boundaries can result in:
- Taking on clients that aren ’t a good fit
- Undercharging or overdelivering
- Always being available
- Avoiding difficult conversations
- Impacted profit margins
Therapy helps you overcome guilt and fear, so that you can follow the path that makes the most sense for you and your business.

Difficulty relaxing, switching off, and sleeping
Constant thinking about your Business and high levels of stress and anxiety will inevitably lead to sleep problems, difficulty relaxing and an inability to switch off.
Therapy can help you to implement healthy sleep habits, to learn how to relax, and to put changes in place that free up the time and space to be able to switch off.
Private CBT Therapy
CBT therapy is a perfect fit for Business Owners and Entrepreneurs. It is full of logic, helpful psychological theories and scientifically proven techniques.
CBT Therapy focuses predominantly on rewiring the way you think and the way you respond. Doing this, then successfully leads to shifts in how you’re feeling emotionally, and eliminates the physical symptoms of your stress and anxiety.
It’s an active type of therapy, and you can expect to receive between session tasks to complete to enhance your learning. For those attending 10+ therapy sessions, you will also leave therapy with a jointly created personalised summary workbook to keep you on track.
