If you have been posting, blogging and updating your directory profiles for months and you are still wondering how to get more clients in private practice, the answer may already be sitting in your own numbers, and this episode walks you through how to find it.

We start with a bit of fun, because my Seismoscope app showed 24 earthquakes around my corner of South Gippsland in one week (I do confess to liking a little drama), and I read out some of the 21 winning entries from a Brit...

In today's episode I share the story of a private practice client who grew her bookings by more than 300% in under 12 months and reached 115% of her revenue goal almost two months ahead of schedule, all while working part-time and staying off social media, which makes her a great example of how to get more clients in private practice when platforms like Facebook and Instagram feel like a poor fit for you.

She first came to me for a Website Wellness Check, and during that review I could see how...

A website chatbot for therapists can feel fantastic on a Monday morning when five, six or seven enquiries have landed over the weekend, and then the replies you send through email never get answered, which is exactly what kept happening to me with the chat bubble on my GoDaddy website.

That frustration sent me looking at an AI receptionist for private practice, and because I avoid the phone wherever I can and have no work phone number (I even bought my home a...

You might be doing everything right with your website and still wonder why the inquiries are slow, so in this episode I walk you through what is changing in October 2026 and how to get found by AI as a therapist as well as by Google. I share why traffic that arrives through AI converts at around 12% while traffic from a Google ad converts at around 2%, and what that means for AI search opt...

Wondering how to create an online course for therapists over the summer break? These seven course creation steps will help you map out an online course for private practice that people want to buy and are likely to finish, before you record a single lesson.

We begin with the honest question of why you want to make a course in the first place, because if the answer is that you need money now or you do not have enough clients, a course...

Are you team ChatGPT, team Claude, or happily on neither side? As of October 2026, I've landed firmly on Claude when it comes to Claude vs ChatGPT for private practice, and I walk you through why, including how each platform handles privacy and data retention, which is a big part of whether Claude is safe for therapists compared with the alternatives. If you're writing work cover reports, TAC reports, medico legal letters, funding letters or tenders, Claude wins for me every time because of its larger context window and its ten...

Money tends to land in your business in drips and drabs, and if you have ever handed your accountant a shopping bag full of paper receipts once a year and then spent the next few weeks working just to pay the tax bill (I did exactly that in my first years in private practice), this episode is for you. I walk you through how to give yourself a pay rise in private practice, and it starts with seeing that the money coming in is a response, both to how...

If you have been in private practice for a year or three and your diary is still not full, or you are close to finishing your studies and wondering how to start a private practice in Australia that fills quickly, this episode is for you. I recorded it in the middle of a week of being down for the count, using the time to dust off my business foundations, and it got me thinking about the one thing I would tell every woman before she opens her doors.

You know that feeling when you sit down to work in your private practice and your chest goes tight before you have even opened your laptop? That is what this episode digs into, and Brooklyn is talking about why you feel anxious working for yourself even when nothing outwardly stressful is happening.

She walks through her own week of rearranging furniture, painting kitchen tiles, and falling hard for peel and stick wallpaper, then gets into the heart of it, the butterflies that show up the moment you...

You've followed the strategy to the letter and still didn't get the result you wanted, and this episode is about why that happens. I start with something unexpected that happened to me this week, a volunteer shift in a local bookstore that looked nothing like the version of "working in a bookstore" I'd been picturing for the last twenty years, and use it to talk about staying open to unexpected opportunities in business even when they don't match the picture in your head. Pinching yourself off from something just because it looks different can cost you more than you...

A client I'll call Jess sat across from me and had no idea she'd made $16,825 for her practice in four weeks, because she'd never been shown what numbers to track. This episode walks through exactly how that happened, and what it means for anyone in private practice who wants a dependable way to bring in the right kind of enquiries without living on social media all day.

Jess came to Momentum 90 wanting help filling her diary, and when we looked closely, the problem had nothing to do with...

You've set up your website, your Psychology Today profile, your Google Business listing, and you're still asking yourself where the clients are. In this episode I pull that fallacy apart and walk you through what actually works when you need clients now, not eventually.

I recorded this one with chainsaws going in the background and Buddy trying his best to get my attention from his own little couch, so you're getting the full unedited version of how private practice marketing strategy actually gets built in real...

Ever watched American Beauty and felt a strange kinship with the moment Kevin Spacey's character quits his job to go work the drive through window? Brooklyn opens this episode with that scene because she's been there too, and she suspects a lot of women running private practices have been there as well. From the drive through she moves into a personal update about manifesting a new, spacious chapter of her own life, and how chasing that spaciousness led her back to a realisation about who she a...

Brooklyn is running a live 90 day LinkedIn growth experiment, trying to hit 10,000 followers from a total novice starting point, and in this episode she shares real numbers from day 12, up from 31 to 141 followers, a 354.8 percent cumulative growth, averaging nine new followers a day. She breaks down what the data is actually telling her, profile views are up nearly 60 percent while post impressions have stayed flat around 305, which means the problem isn't distribution to new eyes, it's that new people who do find her are converting to followers, so the...

This episode is the second in my three part series on Ask, Believe, Receive, and it's the one where I unpack why manifestation isn't working for so many of you even when you're doing everything right. I get into how are beliefs formed in the first place, because a belief is simply something your brain accepts as true with or without evidence, and it walks in through five different doors: your early environment, repetition, an intense emotional response, authority and social proof, and the rationalising you do when you're t...

You've heard "ask, believe, receive" on a cushion, a card deck, maybe even a tattoo, but hardly anyone breaks down what the ask part is actually doing. In this episode Dr Brooklyn Storme unpacks the psychology behind asking for what you want, using her own live experiment as the backdrop.

She opens with an update on a 90 day LinkedIn experiment she set herself on a whim, going from 41 connections to 104 in the first week, with 63 new followers coming from only 70 people who saw her content. She walks through what...

You've probably tried every manifestation strategy going. Affirmations, journal prompts, oracle cards, maybe even a few courses that promised to finally crack the code. And if none of it has stuck, this episode explains why.

Dr Brooklyn Storme unpacks her approach to manifestation for business, an approach built on thirty years working with the mind and human behaviour rather than borrowed spiritual frameworks. She walks through a real question from another community, someone who'd been trying to manifest for two years and felt stuck at square...

When a client tells Brooklyn she's done everything and 90 days have passed with nothing to show for it, she goes straight into how to measure marketing results and why your marketing isn't working, and the answer is rarely what people assume. In this episode she breaks down every checkpoint a stranger moves through before they become a client, from never having heard of you, to clicking around your website, to downloading a freebie, to finally booking a call, and why looking only at the missing booking means you're staring a...

Brooklyn's default when she needs clarity in her business is to talk it out with Claude, back and forth, brainstorming, going down rabbit holes, but the process that shifts things for her is journaling for business clarity, a pen and one of her A5 Spirax notepads. In this episode she walks through what happened when she finally admitted that to herself, an hour of writing during a weekend away in Daylesford that produced fourteen finished tasks before 11am.

That experience opened into a...

Brooklyn's spent decades moving through psychology, counselling, coaching, and now business consulting and private advisory work, and the throughline the whole way has been the same, psychology, the mind, human behaviour, and the research behind it. In this episode she traces how that led her to psychology-backed manifestation strategies, and gets honest about the part of the story that isn't always shared, the vulnerability of putting something new out there, the pushback from people who called it not credible, and the period where she stopped talking about it altogether.

Google and HubSpot both just published research showing website traffic has dropped by as much as 80 percent since 2024, and it's not because your marketing got worse. It's because the Google AI summary now answers most search questions itself, before anyone even reaches your site.

This episode is about what private practice marketing in 2026 needs to look like now that AI answer engine optimisation (AEO) has changed the rules for how people find a therapist, counsellor, or psychologist. Brooklyn walks through the simple things you can do to get more clients through...

AI That Works While You Are With Clients: What ChatGPT Workspace Agents Mean for Your Practice

There is a real difference between AI that helps you do work and AI that does the work itself. ChatGPT Workspace Agents, released in April 2026, crossed that line. This episode is about what that actually means for a solo private practice owner, who can use it right now, and what you need to get straight on the privacy front before connecting anything.

In this episode I talk about ChatGPT's new Workspace Agents feature, which lets you build automated workflows...

Something significant happened in April 2026 that I think a lot of therapists haven't heard about yet, and it has a direct bearing on the people sitting across from you. Google added mental health safety tools to Gemini, and in this episode I'm breaking down exactly what that means for your practice, your clients, and your intake process.

This isn't a tech episode for its own sake. It's a practice management conversation, because understanding what your clients are doing before they arrive at your door is part of practising well.

OpenAI Just Built a Free AI Tool for Clinicians. Here Is What It Does and What It Means for Your Practice.

OpenAI launched ChatGPT for Clinicians in 2026 and explicitly named psychologists and licensed clinicians as part of the target audience. Before you sign up or dismiss it as irrelevant because it is US-only, there is something specific in this product that every therapist in private practice needs to understand — and it is available to you right now, wherever you are.
