Born in Launceston, I’m an eighth generation Tasmanian from a long line of women in business. My mission is also my motto: Business without burnout.
I’m a clinical and forensic psychologist, multi-location private practice owner, business coach, event speaker, and author. Each of these interests adds value to the work I do as your private practice business coach. It is my mission to help you avoid burnout, reduce overwhelm and overcome isolation. I’ll help you find the courage and confidence needed to lead, shape and grow the business you really want.
I have over 25 years’ clinical experience, having worked in community mental health, the prison system, perinatal mental health, academia and private practice.
I run three successful psychology-related businesses. I launched my private practice is 2001 and over the years have seen it grow into The Crawley Clinic, with teams in Hobart, Launceston and Melbourne. During the pandemic I launched Crawley House, a serviced office hub for mental health practices in Melbourne and Hobart. My business coaching practice has helped hundreds of private practice owners around Australia for almost 10 years.
I work as a business coach for private practice owners in the mental health professions. I’ve helped hundreds of them build teams, consolidate growth, launch new ventures, start speaking careers, overcome staffing crises, boost their profitability and so much more.
The heart of what I do is about taking control of your time. It starts by reducing your sense of overwhelm, then combining your new-found confidence with a solid strategic platform to build vital business development and ownership skills. Isolation is tackled too by bringing together a team of like-minded practitioners to share the journey with you.
