From Solo VA to Sustainable Agency: Building Psych VA Whilst Navigating ADHD and Solo Parenting with Anna Bunch

What if you could build a thriving agency whilst solo parenting and navigating an ADHD diagnosis?

Anna Bunch, founder of Psych VA, turned the chaos of running a practice into a seven-year success story. This proves that the right systems and support are key.In this episode, Anna opens up about her journey from solo VA to agency owner, building Psych VA into a specialist team that supports psychologists and therapists behind the scenes.

She shares the reality of growing a business, revealing how she's created calm systems and multiple revenue streams that keep her agency sustainable.

From finding the right associates to evolving her business model, Anna breaks down what it really takes to scale from doing it all yourself to leading a team, and why reliable admin can be the difference between a practice that survives and one that thrives.

Key takeaways:

1️⃣ Build systems that work for your brain, not against it. When you design your business around how you actually work, scaling becomes sustainable rather than overwhelming.

2️⃣ Multiple revenue streams create stability in service-based businesses. Diversification isn't just smart, it's essential for long-term growth.

3️⃣ Scaling means letting go of client work, gradually. The transition from solo VA to agency owner requires releasing the day-to-day client tasks you once did yourself.

If you're thinking about expanding your VA business or building a team, start by asking yourself: what would become possible if I stopped doing everything myself? Map out one task you could delegate this week, and take the first step towards building the sustainable, scalable business you deserve.

About Anna:

Anna is the founder of Psych VA, a specialist team supporting psychologists and therapists behind the scenes. She built the business while solo parenting and navigating a later ADHD diagnosis, so she understands the pressure of running a practice without the right support. Now seven years in, Anna has grown Psych VA into a sustainable agency with multiple income streams, focused on calm systems, reliable admin and helping clinicians keep their clinics running smoothly.
