One-Day Workshop in Setting Up a Successful Private Practice (HACS - SPP)

Course Details

1

Take your first steps towards setting up your practice

Starting and building a successful private practice is not easy, and many counsellor trainings don’t cover what actually happens once you qualify. Our popular one-day workshop helps counsellors confidently set up and grow a successful private practice, whether you are just starting out or already established. 

Participants will be offered clear, practical guidance on the clinical, marketing and business sides of private practice, helping counsellors build a successful practice that is sustainable and vibrant. We cover topics like setting and raising fees, finding good supervision, build a peer networks, feeling more confident, and all the need-to-know about setting up private practice. 

Participants will leave with practical, ready-to-use templates (like contracts, clinical wills, privacy policies and much more) and exclusive discounts to practice management systems and tools that they can apply directly within their private practice. 

Developed by Headstrong Counselling, the UK’s leading placement provider, this workshop draws on real insider knowledge from working with thousands of trainees and qualified counsellors. It addresses the real-life challenges of setting up private practice and offers practical insight into what actually creates a successful private practice.
