About this episode

Stephanie Notaras discusses with Kerry Conlon how a standardised counselling process improves client retention and practice growth.

In this episode, Stephanie is joined by Kerry Conlon, a Registered Dietitian and a graduate of the 12 Week Dietitian Counselling Skills Program. We discuss how learning and implementing a standardised counselling process in her practice has created a significant improvement in her client retention, better client outcomes and has helped her grow her private practice through more word of mouth referrals.
