About Me Questionnaire For Bio Interviews

About Me Questionnaire

About pages are the second most often clicked-on website pages. From your About page, you want your potential clients to like you, remember you, trust you and find you credible.

For most of us, writing about ourselves is hard.  So, in this interview, just let it flow.  Don’t censor.  The writer will take the job of integrating information to make you sound likeable, trustable, and credible.  And, you can edit out anything you don’t like.  So just relax and enjoy the interview!

Believe it or not, 10-15% of your About page text should be fascinating details about you that have no bearing on your therapeutic or interpersonal skills. If you share that you’re allergic to kumquats or that you once created a paperclip chain that was a mile long, you share your sense of humor and make yourself loveable.

Please think about the questions, below, before our call.

Why are you a therapist?

 

What is your specialty or specialties, and what inspired you to pursue your specific therapy focus(es)?

 

How does your family or history impact, clarify or add to your work? (Note: nothing too personal, here, but if mom and dad were therapists, or teachers, we can see a trend in the family.  If you moved to another country as a child and had to learn how to build bridges with people, that’s a skill you bring to the therapy office…)

 

What personal experience do you have that could be relevant or relatable to your ideal clients? (Example: If you used to work in the corporate world and understand that stress, you can help people find life balance…)

 

What makes you memorable? (Thinking about friends from college that you still remember can be helpful. What is/was it about these people that standout? What do you think people remember best about you?)

 

What is important to you outside of your work?

 

What are your hobbies, passions, interests?

 

What makes YOU unique? What makes your practice unique?

 

Are you involved in your community? If so, in what ways?

 

What is your education; degrees?

 

Do you have any advanced or specific training?

 

Any public appearances, publications…?
