Consultation: Setting up Private Practice
Are you a qualified counsellor and thinking of setting up private practice? Overwhelmed? Don't know where to start? Feeling a little alone in the process? Wondering if you will be "good enough?" Would like some extra support?
​
I empathise. I have been there! I set up straight after qualifying. It was a steep learning curve and I can't deny wobbly moments, but within 6 months I was running a thriving practice, which continues today.
Before I was a counsellor, I managed the office of a large team within the Watersport industry, both in the UK and Spain, for 15 years, I now realise that my organisational and customer service skills were transferable and it has helped enormously in setting up and running my own private practice. I can now pass these skills on..
If you feel you could benefit from a consultation around building your own private practice, I can give you practical information and help alleviate any stress or doubts you may have. Whether you want advice over something specific or an overview step by step on how to set up.
How I can help
Legal​
Counsellors must make themselves aware of legal requirements and comply with them in their practice, we can run through the requirements to ensure all bases have been covered,
Practical
There are numerous practicalities when setting up that I can make you aware of; For instance where will you be counselling from? Online or face to face? What will you charge and how will you take payment?
​​
Admin
​​Setting up good admin systems, in the long term saves time. Private practice requires daily admin, but once organised it can be a quick and easy process..
Marketing
​​Advertising yourself on counselling directories, producing a catchy website and social media presence, is key to attracting clients. Conveying YOU and what you can offer will attract the client that suits.
