Your Trusted Business Coach in Hobart
With over two decades of experience as a clinical and forensic psychologist, I have dedicated my career to supporting business owners in navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship. My journey began with establishing three respected mental health clinics across Australia, which provided the foundation for understanding the unique challenges faced by private practice owners. I combine my expertise in psychology with practical business strategies to help clients develop a CEO mindset, reduce overwhelm, and build sustainable practices.My approach prioritises self-compassion and authenticity, ensuring business owners avoid burnout while achieving their goals. Having authored business-related resources and delivered training programs, I am committed to empowering professionals through one-to-one coaching, group programs, and speaking engagements. My mission is to foster resilience, strategic thinking, and community among business owners, drawing on both personal experience and a network of industry experts.

I took my first steps out of my comfort zone with Tess in 2018. She made it safe for me to do this by going beyond platitudes to guide me with her rock solid tools to build quiet confidence. Not even my noisy… and previously convincing inner critic could argue with the way she showed me how I could absolutely achieve the big, audacious vision I had for my work. I remember I was reluctant to book in for her Mid Winter Retreat that year because I thought I’d be taking up space that someone more worthy could otherwise inhabit. I was small fry. I was ‘only’ a social worker

If you’re seeking a business coach who will hold you accountable, gently challenge you and get you to examine any mindset blocks that are holding you back in your professional and business related growth, then… you must seek out the services of Dr Tess Crawley. Whether this be 1:1 mentoring or group mentoring, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend 🌟 Rachael Willis- Pure Empowerment Psychology

Tess helped me build my brand from its first humble thoughts and ideas into a group private practice with employees. We are now entering our first year's fourth quarter despite the financial implications from bushfires and now the pandemic. If you need your motivation, energy or butt kicked into gear, Tess is the go to guru.

Tess has been the mentor I’ve been looking for. She supports me, challenges me and is always available rain, hail or shine. I’ve only known Tess for 2 months but in this time I have stretched myself personally and professionally in ways I didn’t think were possible.
