What You’ll Learn
Six Essential Areas Covered
The practical, no-nonsense workshop for private practice
The practical, no-nonsense workshop that gives you everything you actually need to set up and grow a successful counselling practice — from the business side nobody teaches you, to the clinical confidence to thrive.
Clear, practical guidance on the clinical, marketing, and business sides of private practice. Everything your training didn’t cover — delivered in one focused day.
01. Registration & Accreditation: BACP accreditation pathways, what accreditation actually means, and how to navigate the professional landscape with confidence.
02. Practical & Legal Setup: Insurance, contracts, GDPR compliance, clinical wills, client management systems, website essentials, and marketing your practice.
03. Setting & Raising Fees: Calculate your breakeven, model profit, have the fees conversation confidently, and know when and how to raise your rates.
04. Finding Good Supervision: Choosing a supervisor that’s right for you, using supervision effectively post-qualification, and building peer support and supervision groups.
05. Professional Identity & Brand: Clarify your values and specialist interests, build your own brand as a practitioner, and communicate who you work with.
06. Ready-to-Use Templates: Leave with practical, immediately usable documents — contracts, clinical wills, privacy policies, and more — plus exclusive discounts to practice management tools.
