What does it look like to build a career that works for you — not just the career you originally trained for?

In this episode, we’re joined by Jasmin Abbott, Registered Psychologist and founder of Pace Psychology Service in the Illawarra and South Coast of NSW.

Jasmin brings a unique perspective to her work, having previously worked as a teacher and school counsellor before becoming a psychologist. As a mum of four and a psychologist with a particular interest in ADHD, autism, anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation and parenting, she combines evidence-based psychology with a very real-world understanding of family life.

We talk about neurodivergence, the journey into private practice, creating boundaries around family and work, and the courage it takes to build a career around your strengths, values and priorities.

A warm and honest conversation about finding your own path, trusting what works for you, and giving yourself permission to do things differently.

What if the thing holding you back from stepping beyond the therapy room isn’t actually ethics, but fear, identity, and the discomfort of becoming someone new?

In this episode, Sky explores the difference between genuine ethical considerations and the fears that can keep therapists, psychologists, social workers, nutritionists, and other allied health professionals stuck in familiar roles.

She walks through six key questions to consider when diversifying your career, including competence, scope of practice, boundaries, confidentiality, evidence and integrity, and honest representation.

This episode is an invitation to pause, ask the right questions, and recognise when an ethical concern needs attention and when fear or professional identity might be holding you back.

Because you don’t have to choose between being a therapist and becoming something more. You can love your clinical work and still explore what else your skills and expertise could become.

Want to explore what’s possible beyond the therapy room?

Join Ali + Sky for Beyond the Therapy Room™, a one-day in-person workshop designed for therapists who know they’re capable of more but want to discover what their “more” actually looks like.

Together, you’ll explore:

✨ Who am I beyond the therapist role?
✨ How do I naturally create impact?
✨ What do I want to be known for?
✨ What vehicle fits me?

You’ll leave with greater clarity around your contribution, a potential vehicle for your expertise, and tangible next steps for what comes next.

You finally find the courage to show up online, share your ideas, put your work out there… and then you notice someone doing something that feels very, very similar.

So what do you do?

In this episode of Beyond The Therapy Room, Sky has an honest conversation about what happens when you become visible and someone starts copying your work. Because sometimes, the hardest part isn’t the copying itself — it’s what it brings up in you: comparison, self-doubt, fear of being judged, and the temptation to disappear again.

She explores the difference between someone having a similar idea and genuinely copying your original work, why you don't own a topic but can own your unique way of expressing it, and how to recognise what makes your work distinctly yours.

Sky also shares the five questions she uses when she finds herself wondering, “Are they copying me?” — from documenting your original work and considering legal advice, to asking whether you're making yourself smaller because someone else showed up.

Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that the answer isn't to become invisible.

Protect what needs protecting. Get advice when you need it. Block, delete, connect, or collaborate where appropriate — and then keep going.

Because nobody has your exact perspective, personality, experience, voice, or way of connecting the dots.

You didn't find your voice just to hand it back.

If you're a therapist who's stepping outside the therapy room, becoming more visible, and wondering how to keep showing up when comparison or copying gets uncomfortable, this conversation is for you.
