Reclaim Your Life - Heather Kent

Team Subkit -

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in mental wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Heather Kent, Founder of Heather Kent Psychotherapy and Consulting Services, located in East Gwillimbury, ON, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I run a psychotherapy and consulting practice. I work with clients individually and in small groups, focusing on trauma assessment, treatment, and recovery from PTSD. I also provide trauma awareness education and consulting to businesses and organizations who are looking to thrive and create safe and effective workplaces for their teams.

Tell us about yourself

As a former high school teacher, I taught primarily in schools that served students from underprivileged and marginalized backgrounds. These students showed up to school every day with complex trauma, and I felt totally ill-equipped to help them with what they actually needed. I am also a survivor of domestic abuse, which has ultimately led to my writing of 2 best-selling books on recovering from abusive relationships.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Being able to reach and support more people than I thought possible through my group programs and my books.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Avoiding burnout!!

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Learn basic accounting.
  2. Leverage social media for marketing.
  3. Hire a business coach in your industry.
