Counselling & Coaching and Digital Practice

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Paul Jozsef, Director of Mindfulness Space, located in Montreal, QC, Canada.

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

I run two businesses: Paul Jozsef Counselling & Coaching and Digital Practice. Paul Jozsef Counselling & Coaching (pauljozsef.ca) is a psychotherapy practice in Montreal, Canada.

Digital Practice (digitalpractice.tools) is an online resource for organizing and growing therapy practices through digital marketing and online practice management solutions.

My customers/clients for my counselling & coaching business are people in need of emotional and mental health assistance. My customers for Digital Practice are other therapists, psychologists, coaches, etc.

Tell us about yourself

I became a therapist after working for over a decade as a web developer. I knew I wanted to do something significantly different, and I knew I wanted to work closely with people and hopefully be of service. After a series of life changes, I decided to change career paths. I went back to university and obtained a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I began working as a psychotherapist in 2016. I love working with clients to help them overcome their 'stuff.' I feel very honoured and grateful that I get to do this work. It is a very privileged job as I get to be truly authentic with people on a day-to-day basis.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

The knowledge that I am making a difference in people's lives every day.

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

My businesses succeed or fail based solely on my efforts.

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

There are no shortcuts – it is all hard work.
Stay on top of your admin. Don't let it pile up.
Ensure you make space for self-care. If you burn out, so will your business.

Where can people find you and your business?
