Jessica Cowling - InnerWorks Counselling London

What was your motivation to start your business?
Many new moms experience postpartum depression & anxiety (I was one of them!). Finding help can be difficult - many moms find their concerns are minimized or dismissed.
My goal when I started my counselling practice was to provide a place where new moms knew they would get help from someone specially trained in pregnancy and postpartum concerns.

How has being an entrepreneur improved your life?
I love being able to make my own schedule and my own rules. My husband and I joke that I am thoroughly unemployable now.
More importantly, I have developed friendships with other business owners and the support we provide each other is invaluable.

What does it mean to be a business owner?
Being a business owner is both a privilege and a responsibility. At InnerWorks, we are entrusted with our client's mental health and relationship struggles. Being the business owner means I need to lead my team well, being an example of how to provide excellence in our service to the community.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
You know more than you think you do - you can trust yourself to make good decisions.
