Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

These are the thoughts that keep therapists in private practice awake at night. If they resonate, you are not alone — and this masterclass was built for you.

The Visibility Problem

"I've updated my profile, I'm on every directory, I post on social media — but I still sound exactly like every other therapist. I don't know how to stand out."

The Invisible Therapist

The Niche Problem

"Everyone tells me to niche down, but I don't know what my niche is. I'm good at what I do, but I can't find the specific thing that makes me different."

The Generalist Stuck in a Crowded Market

The Client Drop-Off Problem

"I have clients who seem engaged and then just stop coming. I never fully understand why. I wonder if I'm missing something important."

The Therapist Who Wonders What They're Missing

The CPD Problem

"I keep doing CPD but it all feels generic. I want training that genuinely deepens my practice and gives me something meaningful to offer."

What You Will Discover in 60 Minutes

This masterclass is not a lecture. It is a strategic, commercially-minded session that will change how you think about your practice, your marketing, and your clients.

Part 01

Why Therapists Are Invisible and It's Not Their Fault

Most therapists market themselves by listing what they offer: "I provide CBT, EMDR, and person-centred therapy." We'll explore why this approach makes you indistinguishable from every other therapist on the page, and what the therapists who fill their diaries do differently.

Part 02

The Language That Actually Attracts Clients

Clients don't search for modalities. They search for someone who understands their specific pain. We'll look at how to speak directly to the client who feels unseen, misunderstood, or failed by previous therapy, and why this language cuts through the noise.

Part 03

The First-Mover Advantage: A Blue Ocean Opportunity

Think about how ADHD awareness transformed therapy practice over the last decade. A new wave is coming. We'll show you the specific, underserved client group that 3.8 million people in the UK belong to, and why fewer than 50 therapists are currently trained to support them.

Part 04

Your Pathway to Becoming the Go-To Specialist

You'll leave with a clear picture of what it looks like to become the therapist that this underserved client base is actively searching for, and the exact steps to get there, whether you're starting from scratch or building on existing knowledge.

The Opportunity Nobody Is Talking About

There is a specific group of clients who are actively searching for a therapist who understands them. They have often tried therapy before and been failed by it. They have been told they are resistant, difficult, or not engaging. In reality, the tools being used simply don't work for how their mind works.

They are already in your waiting room. They are in your current caseload. Right now, almost no one in the UK is trained to support them properly.

In this masterclass, we will show you exactly who they are, why standard therapeutic tools fail them, and why this represents the single biggest untapped opportunity for a therapist looking to build a specialist practice in 2026.

3.8M

People in the UK belong to this underserved client group. Fewer than 50 therapists are currently trained to support them.

They Are Already Your Clients

You don't need to find new clients. You need to understand the ones you already have — and why some of them keep slipping away.

The Market Is Growing Fast

Awareness of this client group is accelerating. The therapists who build expertise now will own this space before it becomes mainstream.

CPD-Certified Training Exists

This is not a gap you have to fill with guesswork. There is a fully accredited, practical training pathway available — and it starts with this masterclass.

It Gives You a Real Niche

Not a vague "I work with anxiety and depression" niche. A specific, defensible, in-demand specialism that you can build your entire practice around.

Is This Masterclass for You?

This is for you if…

  • You are a qualified counsellor, psychotherapist, or therapist in private practice or an employed setting
  • You feel invisible in a saturated market and struggle to articulate what makes you different
  • You have had clients who dropped out or disengaged and you never fully understood why
  • You want CPD that genuinely deepens your practice, not just ticks a box
  • You are open to building a specialism around an underserved, growing client group
  • You want to attract clients who are actively searching for someone with your specific expertise

This is not for you if…

  • You are not a qualified or trainee mental health professional
  • You already have a full caseload and are not interested in attracting new clients
  • You are looking for a purely academic overview with no practical application
  • You are not open to adapting your existing therapeutic approach for specific client needs

Your Host: Sassy Smith

I am an aphantasia expert, author, and the founder of the Aphantasia Academy. I have aphantasia, SDAM, and anendophasia — and I know what it feels like to sit in a therapy room and be completely invisible to the person who is supposed to help you.

After seeking help for a crushing depression, I sat in rooms with skilled, caring therapists who had no idea that the tools they were using simply could not work for a mind like mine. I was told I was resistant. I was told I was dissociating. I left feeling more broken than when I arrived.

I had to fix myself. And then I decided to fix therapy for the millions of people like me. I built the UK's first CPD-certified training programme in this area, and I have now trained more aphantasia-informed practitioners in the UK than anyone else.
