Warning: this episode includes explicit language so you may want to skip this episode, use headphones or listen at a time when there are no sensitive ears around.

Many allied health professionals look to coaching as a way to diversify and maximise their income. But what is the distinction between coaching and therapy and what are some of the pitfalls for therapists who want to offer coaching services?

That’s the topic of this week’s conversation with Patrick Casale. After serving the community as a mental health professional for over a decade, Patrick began to leverage his ability to build and create authentic relationships to launch a successful 7-figure group practice and private coaching business. He is now a speaker, retreat planner, podcast host and business strategist. 

In this conversation, Jo and Patrick discuss:

• What is the difference between therapy and coaching, and how to recognise the boundary between the two, 
• What is coaching in the context of private practice and how it’s different from therapy, 
• The pitfalls commonly faced by therapists who seek to add coaching to their practice,
• How the lack of accountability in coaching can put both you and your client at risk, and
• The top 3 things health professionals need to pay attention to now, and in the future.
