Case Study: The Pebble Ridge Practice


The Pebble Ridge Practice Embraces Growth Plans

Overview:

Charlotte King is an experienced therapist who runs The Pebble Ridge Practice. An accomplished Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, Charlotte specialises in solution focused strategies to help people make positive changes in their lives.

Working one-to-one with clients to help treat depression and anxiety; panic attacks; confidence and self-esteem; stress; bereavement; phobias and giving up smoking. Her services include working with children and young people.

The Challenge

Previously a lecturer and course manager at South Devon College, Charlotte became increasingly involved in the pastoral aspect of her role as many of her students suffered from anxiety and depression. This inspired her to re-train in Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Charlotte took the opportunity to take voluntary redundancy in 2018 to expand her own business working one-to-one with clients suffering from mental health, low confidence and stress. She has expanded into working with children and young people as well as offering weight loss workshops focusing on a mindset approach.

Charlotte found out about TDA Business Support in the Summer of 2019, at a networking event. With her business up and running, this was an opportunity to receive independent business advice, explore opportunities to help with business development, and make use of local resources readily available to support business growth.

The Solution

Charlotte has been part of the ERDF Growth Support Programme in Torbay, as well as the EPIC Sessions workshops being delivered as part of the EPIC business support in Paignton. Both the one-to-one sessions with TDA Business Advisor, Nick Williams and the workshops have given her new challenges which in turn, have enabled her to develop and grow the business in the direction she wants. Talking about the programme Charlotte said:

“TDA Business Growth has been absolutely brilliant, I liken it to having a personal networker. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to grow their business.”

Areas covered have included; business planning, marketing, networking and signposting to business resources.

The Future

With demand for services continuing to grow, and Charlotte’s passionate approach continuing to receive outstanding reviews, the future is looking positive for 2020. Plans are underway to deliver treatments in additional settings and locations. Packages with local spas are in development, and Charlotte is keen to extend the corporate wellbeing services, and packages to more local businesses aiming to support the wellbeing of their employees.
