Ditch the toxic self-doubt, stop self-sacrificing and take control of your career once and for all.

  • Feel good enough as a therapist (or even great).

  • Lose the toxic self-doubt, anxiety, insomnia and constant feeling of pressure. Instead feel the joy and curiosity that comes with freedom and flexibility.

  • Real confidence to take the next step that you're dreaming of, at any stage in your career.

  • Lose the blocks, fears, "buts" and "what about everyone else's needs?" mindset that keeps you stuck.

  • The freedom to work the way you want to work with the clients you want to work with.

  • Embrace the options that are available to you as a therapist whilst meeting your own needs.

  • Uplevel your income with practical, easy steps.

Imagine how wonderful being a therapist could be:

– Feeling joyful, curiosity-filled and free to work the way you want with the clients you want to work with. 

– You sleep well and love going to work knowing that you are making a positive impact doing work you love.

– Feeling good enough as a therapist AND as if anything was possible for you in your career if you choose to take action.

– You allow your needs to matter, not just your clients’ and employer’s needs. (or anyone else in your life for that matter).

– A career that allows you to prosper financially and have a fun and  enjoyable life both inside and outside of your work.

Instead your reality is:

– You feel trapped, stuck in an endless cycle of toxic self-doubt, wondering why on earth you thought being a therapist was a good idea.

– You feel frustrated that you spent so much time and money to become a therapist only to struggle to even enjoy it.

– You’re stuck working in a way you don’t like, let alone love. 

– You lose sleep, are anxious and dread going to work.

– You often feel heavy, like life is weighted, when you want to feel joyful and free.

– It’s hard to see other therapists flourishing and truly enjoying being a therapist

– You know it has to be able to feel better than this, you just don’t know how to get there.

– There is a way through. Let me show you how all of this can be turned around.

Ready to say good bye to toxic self-doubt and self-sacrificing and embrace your dream therapist life?

Did You Know That:

THE RISK OF YOU BURNING OUT IS INCREDIBLY HIGH? The risk of burnout for therapists is incredibly high with studies of psychotherapists routinely finding a staggering 21- 67% of therapists reporting high levels of burnout. Burnout is contributed to by the emotionally demanding nature of your work and frequent exposure to traumatic narratives , and is also contributed to by the common patterns (or schemas) therapists tend to have. Burnout takes the joy out of being a therapist and also impacts longevity of a hard earned career and  reduces therapist earning potential.

MOST THERAPISTS DON’T EARN WHAT THEY’D LIKE TO, THEY ARE TIRED BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY SEEING MORE PEOPLE THAN IS HEALTHY AND THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO EARN MORE WITHOUT SEEING MORE PEOPLE. 

The average earnings for therapists in Australia is $90 000, which means many therapists are earning much less. To attain this, therapists are often seeing 30 clients or more a week to make this income and their only outlook to increase their earning potential is to see even more clients. This means they are even more likely to be exposed to the content that contributes to potential for burnout or to accept income plateaus. 

IF YOU’RE EXPERIENCING  HIGH LEVELS OF SELF-DOUBT, PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL FATIGUE, AND JUST NOT ENJOYING BEING A THERAPIST AS MUCH AS YOU DREAMED OF….

You’re not alone AND it’s not a club I want you want to be a part of. It’s time for you to take action and claim the kind of therapy career you can grow and thrive in. 

IF YOU WANT TO EARN MORE BUT DON’T WANT TO RISK BURNOUT BY SEEING EVEN MORE CLIENTS AND/ OR THE THOUGHT OF SEEING EVEN MORE CLIENTS FILLS YOU WITH DREAD…

You are in the right place. It’s time to change your story.

IF YOU WANT A THERAPY CAREER THAT FEELS ENERGISED AND INVIGORATING AND OFFERS FLEXIBILITY AND FREEDOM, IT IS POSSIBLE.

In an industry rife with burnout, fatigue, toxic self-doubt, and disillusion that impacts so many therapists it’s easy to lose your inspiration and forget why you became a therapist in the first place. You know it’s time to re-invigorate, and re-inspire from within, but where do you start? And, how do you ditch the toxic self-doubt holding you back? 

IF YOU DESIRE A LONG AND FULFILLING CAREER WHERE YOU GET TO BE THE THERAPIST YOU WANT TO BE, HARNESS YOUR FULL POTENTIAL, AND CREATE A PATH A HEAD THAT PROVIDES FREEDOM, ENJOYMENT, FLEXIBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY, YOUR JOURNEY STARTS HERE; WITH THE THRIVING THERAPIST FORMULA

Take your first steps towards a rewarding and joy-filled career, where true freedom and flexibility are possible while still being able to offer your highly developed skills and unique abilities to the world.

What therapists are saying about Thriving Therapist Formula

  • Provided many useful tips and tricks that I was able to start implementing straight away in my work

    “Thank you Nadene for this course which provided many useful tips and tricks that I was able to start implementing straight away in my work, as well as providing content that prompted deeper reflection on patterns in my work, and changes I needed to make over time that would help me in building a sustainable, thriving career as a psychologist. I look forward to revisiting the content again in future moments of need – to come back to how I can be a thriving, confident, authentic therapist! Thank you.”

    – Kendall, Psychologist
    NSW, Australia

  • Invigorating... a space where you get to explore things that just aren't talked about

    “Thriving Therapist Formula has been so invigorating. There are not a lot of spaces where you get to explore how we could change things or what we need to work on in ourselves. Some things just aren’t even talked about in my circles like different ways of being a therapist and diversifying. All the ideas and options were just so helpful. And also I love how you’ve embedded schema therapy knowledge into the program, it gives it a deeper layer and value beyond strategies.”

    – Katherine, Melbourne
    Clinical Psychologist

  • It will change your life

    “Every therapist should do Thriving Therapist Formula. It will change your life. This is an excellent course and I think every psychologist should do it. I constantly find myself in conversation with others psychologists were the topics in this course come up and i want to say to them you need to watch this course by Nadene because I can’t explain it all as well as she does."

    – Kirstin, Psychologist
    Sydney, Australia

  • I feel empowered to do the kind of work I want to and work with the kinds of clients I want to work with

    “Thriving Therapist Formula gave me so many freeing insights that no one had ever shared with me before in my career. For the first time, I feel empowered to do the kind of work I want to and work with the kinds of clients I want to work with.”

    – Lisa, Clinical Psychologist

  • Great value for money, loved all the extras

    “The course was great value for money. I loved all of the little extras you included as well.I definitely found both our Thrive coaching calls and individual sessions really helpful to step into my confidence and know I’m worth just as much as a clinical psychologist.I really enjoyed hearing from other participants too. It was good to hear other psychs have the same worries as me and it really normalises our experiences.”

    – Kylie, Psychologist
    Melbourne

  • It helped me give myself permission to be outwardly confident again, no more shrinking to make others happy

    “Your course and your calm, matter-of-fact coaching and feedback was life changing. It helped me give myself permission to be outwardly confident again, no more shrinking to make others happy. Thank you for being brave and vulnerable online and creating the services you have created for clinicians. It has allowed me to fully step in my identity as a psych, which allows me to really enjoy what I do and that means the clients I see benefit greatly from this.”

    – Caitlin, Clinical Psychologist
    Perth, Australia

  • Most helpful in building my confidence, brand and belief in myself

    "I love Nadene’s easy to use strategies to quickly boost my confidence. Engaging in the Thriving Therapist formula as an extension of working with Nadene in supervision has taken my therapist confidence to a higher level. I particularly love Nadene’s easy to use strategies to quickly boost my confidence. I also have found the idea of formulating my niche areas of practice most helpful in building my confidence, brand and belief in myself. This has allowed me to confidently recognise my skills and knowledge and then action my dream of offering assessments of neurodivergence. It was also very helpful to realise that I am not alone in my self doubt and it was great to hear others’ thoughts and opinions on this common experience. I am someone who has struggled with belief in my knowledge, skills and worth as a therapist and Nadene has helped me to start dismantling and demystifying this idea and as a result of Thriving Therapist Formula. I now know and feel that I am very knowledgeable in schema therapy as well as neurodivergence.”

    – Andrea, Psychologist
    Melbourne, Australia

  • Gave me permission to lean into me

    “Thriving Therapist Formula gave me permission to lean into me. No more trying to be someone else or some other psychologist.”

    – Leanne, Clinical Psychologist
    Victoria, Australia

  • Helped me move forward

    “The integration of schema therapy concepts into the program was so helpful for me. It helped me move forward with things that I had been avoiding because they made me uncomfortable. By bringing in the deeper things that were driving my discomfort, and allowing me to unpack it, discover why it was triggering me and stopping me from moving forward.”

    – Jess, Clinical Psychologist
    Tasmania, Australia

  • I walked away with insights to problems or resources to use and the joy of being supported and understood

    "Thriving Therapist Formula gave me a palpable feeling of relief. I had 'Aha' moments, repeatedly and walked away with insights to problems or resources to use and the joy of being supported and understood. And we had never met. Nadene offers practical, down to earth coaching. She offers rigorous intellectual understanding with lived experience, delivered with a lightness of touch that makes her content easily accessible. I liked that part of her vision is to hold us in this profession for which we've sacrificed so much time and money. So, Nadene validates the work, and she also validates and equips the workers.”

    – Amanda, Psychologist
    Perth, Australia

  • Renewed my confidence in my unique skill set and provided some great tips and resources to prevent burnout

    “This course was immensely beneficial to me as I navigate through my second decade of clinical work. It has renewed my confidence in my unique skill set and provided some great tips and resources to prevent burnout – something my personality is at high risk of! It felt like an extended supervision session with a warm and friendly guide."

    – Sharon, Clinical Psychologist
    Perth, Australia

I'm done with feeling stuck, I'm in!

Nadene van der Linden

Hi, I’m Nadene van der Linden.

Once upon a time I struggled with toxic self-doubt and too much self-sacrificing. I was so other focused I barely even thought of my own needs. All of that got in the way of  enjoying being a therapist to it’s full but also enjoying my life. These days, I have a therapy career that serves my needs for freedom, flexibility and financial success and a life that I love.

I’m an Australian Clinical Psychologist and Confidence Coach to therapists. I’m also an Advanced Certified Schema Therapist and accredited EMDR consultant who trains therapists in trauma therapy skills both in Australia and internationally. This is all possible because of the kinds of principles I coach in Thriving Therapist Formula.

Most importantly, I’m passionate about guiding therapists like you to have a career that you can thrive in professionally, personally and financially. I’ve worked with hundreds of therapists and I’m known for being a cheerleader for therapists and inspiring therapists to reach their potential.

I’m so glad you’re here, making the decision to invest in yourself.
