Meet Jules Smith

Established in 2016.

Hi,

I’m Jules Smith, and I launched my part-time private practice in Halifax back in 2016. My motivation behind starting this practice was to have the freedom to provide therapy using approaches that truly ignited my passion. I also desired the flexibility to set my own schedule, achieve financial stability, and have the autonomy to choose the clients I worked with. Most importantly, I wanted to ensure that I could deliver exceptional therapy without succumbing to the exhaustion and burnout that can come from working long hours and seeing an overwhelming number of clients.

Over the years, that part-time practice has grown into a thriving online group practice serving teens, adults, and couples in Halifax and across Nova Scotia. This journey has been incredibly rewarding, and it’s inspired me to help other Canadian therapists do the same. Through my podcast, Fearless Practice, I share practical strategies, honest insights, and expert guidance to support you in building a sustainable, successful private practice. I also interview other Canadian therapists from across the country who openly share their own journeys—their challenges, breakthroughs, and lessons learned—so you can gain real-world inspiration and feel less alone as you create a practice that works for you.

If you’re a therapist in Canada looking for guidance and support, I invite you to tune into the Fearless Practice podcast. Join me—and fellow Canadian therapists—as we explore the journey of starting and growing private practices with confidence, clarity, and purpose. Whether you’re just getting started or ready to expand, this podcast is here to help you build a fearless practice that fits your life.
