Setting up in Private Practice

Return

Setting up your own counselling private practice can be exciting - but knowing where to start can feel overwhelming.

This one-day workshop gives you a clear, step-by-step plan of what you need to put in place before you start seeing clients. It’s packed with practical tips to make the process manageable, and includes a follow-up 1:1 mentoring session with Caroline, arranged after the course (online or in person).

We’ll cover:

  • Marketing & advertising

  • Pricing strategy

  • Taking payments

  • Record keeping

  • Finding and keeping clients

  • Referrals & finances

  • Premises, policies & choosing your niche

Delivered in a small group, the workshop is engaging and interactive, with plenty of time for questions. Caroline tailors the session to the group’s needs, plus it’s a great chance to connect with other therapists starting out.

You’ll leave with a clear plan and the confidence to start building your private practice - plus personalised support through your 1:1 mentoring session.

By the end of the day, you should have all the information you need to start making your private practice plans a reality.

Instructor

Caroline Hudson

Caroline is a BACP senior accredited counsellor and UKCP registered psychotherapist with over 20 years experience as a qualified counsellor. Having set up therapy practices twice she is enthusiastic about helping others to do the same.  She worked for many years in a young people's counselling service in York, before setting up an initial private practice 10 years ago from a room in a G.P.'s surgery in Beverley.

Since then she has gradually built up her practice and established Beverley Counselling & Psychotherapy in 2018 as a multi therapist practice. Seven other therapists now work from this renovated therapy centre, offering an array of therapeutic approaches to clients of all ages, alongside clinical supervision and CPD workshops.

She is also a clinical supervisor working with local counsellors and counsellors in training.

Caroline believes in the necessity of a sense of humour, particularly when grappling with spreadsheets.
