Practice Freedom
Hi. I'm Sam.
I'm a registered psychotherapist with 30 years in private practice. I am based on Waiheke Island. These courses are deeply personal to me. As a practitioner, I've spent years supporting in various ways, including helping practitioners to build practices that align with their goals, values, and vision for life.
Along the way, I've gathered lessons from my own journey and from working with hundreds of practitioners facing similar challenges. These courses are the result of that experience.
They are the courses I wish I'd had when I started out — the practical business guidance that so many of us never received in our clinical training. My hope is that they help you build a practice that is not only successful, but sustainable, fulfilling, and truly your own.
You invested in training, supervision, and professional development to do your clinical work. Nobody taught you how to run a business.
Practice Freedom is here to fill that gap — and to empower you to run a successful, aligned practice that is supported with solid business foundations, so you can get on with the work you love.
How Does Your
Waka Float?
Not sure which course is right for you? Start here.
Our free 25-question practice health check maps your practice across five domains and tells you where you're strong, where you're off course, and where to focus first.
Five minutes. No signup required.
Twenty-five questions across every part of your practice — foundations, vision, people, visibility, sustainability.
You'll see at a glance where your practice is solid and where it's quietly leaking.
Use it as your starting point — for the course, for a conversation with your supervisor, or just for yourself.
"Understanding where you are right now is the first step to building something that lasts."

The practice you meant to build.
Most practitioners reach a point where the way their practice is running stops fitting the way they want to work. My Practice Reset is built for that moment — structured, practical, and grounded in three decades of doing exactly that.
My Practice Reset
For practitioners who've been doing this for a while — and something needs to shift.
This course acknowledges you where you are, honours what's working, and gives you permission to change what isn't — with compassion, not pressure.
You may not have had the knowledge or resources to set your practice up the way you would have liked from the beginning. Now is the chance to invest in yourself and your practice for longevity — to take a look at where you are at, name any gaps in learning, and identify the systems that could be improved. Review and reset with support, with clear step-by-step instruction and resources alongside you. Time to reflect, and to renew.
