Beyond The Therapy Room
You followed the training.
You built the skills.
You became the therapist.
But now you’re wondering… is this it?
Beyond the Therapy Room is where we have the conversations most therapists are thinking — but not saying out loud.
Sky (psychologist and mentor) and Ali (counsellor turned embodiment and healing practitioner) bring two perspectives: clinical and intuitive, structured and expansive.
We talk burnout, identity, spirituality, business, relationships, and what happens when you stop playing by the rules you were trained in.
This is for the therapist who knows there’s more.
