Professional development for counsellors ready to expand their practice beyond 1:1 sessions.

What is Beyond the Therapy Room?

Beyond the Therapy Room is a professional space for counsellors who would like to broaden how they use their skills and experience.

Many therapists reach a point in their career where they feel ready to expand their work beyond individual client sessions. This may include offering CPD training, running workshops or groups, developing digital resources, or building structured programmes that complement their clinical practice.

This space exists to support that evolution in a clear, ethical and sustainable way.

Expanding Your Practice Thoughtfully

Diversifying your income does not mean stepping away from therapy work. It means strengthening your overall practice and creating greater professional flexibility.

I support counsellors to:

The CDC Lounge

The CDC Lounge is the membership within Beyond the Therapy Room.

It is designed for counsellors who would like structured, ongoing support as they develop work beyond individual client sessions.

Inside the membership you will receive:

  • Monthly live strategy and planning sessions
  • Practical frameworks for developing new offers
  • Implementation guidance
  • Peer discussion with other counsellors
  • Access to session replays and shared resources

The CDC Lounge provides a supportive and professionally focused environment where counsellors can think strategically about the next stage of their practice.

About Andrea

I am a BACP-registered counsellor and lecturer with experience across private practice, education and professional training settings.

Alongside my clinical work, I have developed and delivered workshops, lectures and online training programmes. Beyond the Therapy Room brings together my therapeutic background and my experience in teaching and programme development to support other counsellors in expanding their professional pathways.

My approach is grounded in ethical practice, nervous-system awareness and sustainable growth.
