SUPPORT FOR PSYCHOLOGISTS WANTING TO START THEIR OWN PRIVATE PRACTICE Build a sustainable, profitable private practice, with a partner in it beside you.
We help clinicians become successful clinic owners without having to build everything alone
At Succoris Psychology Group, we believe clinicians should not have to choose between meaningful practice ownership and sustainable support.
Our partnership model is designed for experienced psychologists and clinic owners wanting to start, grow or scale a thriving private practice — without having to navigate the complexities of business ownership alone.
Unlike traditional consultancy models, Succoris partners alongside clinic owners, combining operational expertise, clinical governance and business infrastructure with the autonomy and independence clinicians value.
Partners gain access to established systems, policies and procedures, HR support, bookkeeping, marketing, onboarding processes, business mentorship and ongoing operational guidance — all backed by a trusted and growing psychology network.
Through the Succoris Academy, partners also benefit from workforce development pathways, supervision networks and CPD opportunities that support staff attraction, retention and long-term growth.
Our model allows clinicians to focus on delivering outstanding care while building a sustainable and profitable practice with the support of an experienced team beside them.
This is more than business consultancy. It is a trusted partnership designed to help practices grow ethically, sustainably and with confidence — together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does partnering with Succoris involve?
Partnering with Succoris means building your practice alongside an experienced psychology leadership and operational team. Rather than managing every aspect of business ownership alone, partners gain access to established systems, operational infrastructure, clinical governance, mentorship and ongoing business support — all whilst still retaining meaningful autonomy and involvement in their clinic.
Our partnerships are designed to help clinicians focus more on delivering outstanding care and less on carrying the full burden of backend business operations.
Who is the Succoris partnership model designed for?
Our partnership model is best suited to experienced psychologists and clinic owners who are:
- Looking to open their own clinic
- Transitioning out of sole trader work
- Wanting to scale an existing practice
- Seeking more sustainable and ethical ways to grow a business
- Feeling overwhelmed by the operational demands of practice ownership
We work with clinicians who value collaboration, strong workplace culture and long-term sustainable growth.
What support does Succoris provide to partner clinics?
Succoris provides support across many aspects of practice operations, including:
- HR and workforce support
- Bookkeeping and financial processes
- Marketing and brand support
- Policies and procedures
- Clinical governance frameworks
- Onboarding systems
- Business mentorship and operational guidance
- Access to supervision, CPD and workforce development through the Succoris Academy
Our goal is to reduce operational overwhelm and provide the systems and guidance needed to help practices grow sustainably.
Will I lose autonomy if I partner with Succoris?
No. One of the strengths of the Succoris model is that partners retain autonomy and independence while gaining access to meaningful support and infrastructure.
Partners continue to shape their clinic culture, make decisions about staffing and service delivery, and build local referral relationships — while benefiting from the guidance, systems and expertise of the wider Succoris network.
We believe clinicians shouldn't have to choose between independence and support.
How does partnering with Succoris help practices grow more sustainably?
Many clinicians entering private practice face challenges such as inconsistent systems, financial pressure, workforce issues, contracting complexities and lack of operational support. Succoris helps address these challenges by providing proven systems, governance frameworks, operational oversight and business mentorship from the beginning.
Partners also benefit from shared resources, reduced operational burden and access to workforce development pathways that support staff recruitment, retention and long-term clinic stability.
This often allows partner clinics to become sustainable and profitable more quickly than if operating alone.
Is partnering with Succoris expensive?
Many clinicians initially assume that partnering with Succoris will increase costs. In reality, our model is designed to improve operational efficiency, reduce common business risks and provide access to shared systems and resources that can save practices significant time and money.
By drawing on shared infrastructure, operational support and workforce development pathways, partners can avoid many of the costly mistakes and inefficiencies that commonly occur when building a clinic independently. The result is a model focused on sustainable growth, reduced overwhelm and long-term value.
It was always my dream to open my own practice, but I could not have done it without the systems, processes, mentorship and support of the management team.
The Team provides amazing 24 hour support for all matters of business, including human resource management, budgets, time management and general support when things get difficult.
“With the support provided by management, we have a profitable business (within the first 6 months of opening!), with a great culture that I am so proud of!
What really attracted me to a partnership with Succoris was the industry knowledge, the clinical excellence and expertise, and a real emphasis on practitioner wellbeing — looking after clients as well as staff. That was a big drawcard.
After nearly 20 years as a psychologist, mostly working for myself, I hit that stumbling block of growing from sole trader to business owner — and it's a big transition. I looked into different consultancy models, but what attracted me to Succoris was the industry knowledge, the clinical excellence, and the emphasis on practitioner wellbeing. The corporate and clinical governance was something I knew I'd need support with, because it's difficult to be all of those things all of the time — if you spread yourself too thin, you don't do as good a job. Partnering with Succoris has helped me immensely.
I never imagined I'd be able to open a clinic, and I'm so happy I got to do it with Catherine, Jamie and the whole Succoris team.
Leadership are always happy to help, from the small details through to clinical guidance and higher level business strategy. They're easy to talk to and always open to ideas and collaboration, which makes for a genuinely supportive culture.
There's a great balance between working autonomously and staying connected to and supported by the Succoris team. I've also found opportunities to contribute to unique roles across the company that line up with my other passions, such as software development and data science.
We hired our second psychologist within three months of opening, and have already filled their books, as well as my own!

MEET YOUR PARTNERS
Dr Catherine Hart & Jamie Hart
Succoris started because we'd had enough of workplaces that treated clinicians badly.
We'd worked in practices where the culture ground people down, where good psychologists burnt out or left the profession altogether, and where the business decisions and the clinical ones seemed to have nothing to do with each other. We knew we could build something better.
That's the belief the whole company still runs on: happy clinicians do good work. A practice that's sustainable and great to work in isn't a nice-to-have, it's the thing that makes the care good.
Jamie is an exercise physiologist by background, a business consultant by trade, and CEO of the group — he runs operations while Catherine leads the clinical side. Catherine is a Clinical Psychologist and oversees the clinical governance side of the business. Between us we've made most of the mistakes available, and that's a large part of what we're offering you - you don't need to make the same costly mistakes we did.
Two of the difficulties we experienced shaped the company. Recruitment was hard — hard enough that we built Succoris Academy rather than keep competing for the same small pool of clinicians. And we decided early to employ our psychologists rather than subcontract them, which isn't how most of the industry works and has cost us more than once. We've stuck with it, because we think it's right and because it's why our people stay.
That's what we mean by strength in numbers. Nobody should have to go it alone, struggle through it, and end up resenting the practice they built.
