The Story Behind the Growth
Private Practice Growth was founded by Nick Hazell to provide clinicians with the specialist support he saw was missing from the independent healthcare landscape. With over 15 years in private mental health, private practice operations, and business development, Nick understands the unique tension between clinical excellence and commercial sustainability. His approach is built on hands-on experience in inpatient and outpatient services, helping individual practitioners and group practices grow through credible, referral-led strategies rather than generic corporate coaching.
