Many counsellors feel awkward about charging, or even apologetic when talking about their fees. In this episode, I share my own experiences from being told off by an electrician friend for undervaluing myself, to walking up Lincoln’s Steep Hill every week to pay for counselling when my self-esteem was at rock bottom.

We’ll explore:

• Why so many counsellors feel guilty about money
• The hidden cost of not raising your fees for years
• How paying for therapy can actually be part of the healing process
• Why charging fairly helps both you and your clients

If you’ve ever struggled with the money side of private practice, this episode is here to remind you: you don’t need to apologise for charging.
