Private Practice Podcast

Dr Brooklyn Stormebrooklynstorme.podbean.com
Dr Brooklyn Storme PhD is an authority on Private Practice. She has worked in private practice for over 29yrs. It was her experience building a multiple six figure business without Medicare™ rebates and seeing the lack of training and resources available to support Counsellors in establishing their own successful and profitable practice that led her to create online communities, memberships, resources, coaching programs, and more for the community - mostly free of charge. What makes her different is her passion for integrating spiritual interests into the setting up of the practice so as to help Counsellors balance the opposing energies of ’doing all the things’ with receiving. She’s found her approach has been instrumental in helping Counsellors release things like Imposter Syndrome too. Dr Brooklyn Storme, PhD holds a PhD in Psychology, a Masters of Psychology (Counselling), Grad Dip Psychology & Bachelor of Arts (Psychology & Sociology & Statistics). She is a Certified Life, Energy, Spiritual and Business Coach and is a Qualified Supervisor for Counsellors.
