Good Enough Counsellors

Fees and Ethics in Private Practice


Listen Later

How can you earn an extra £10k in your private practice? And is it even ethical to want to earn money from counselling? When you're thinking about fee setting and earning money in private practice, "making a profit from people's pain" is something that is frowned upon and so it's important you're clear about why you charge for your services.

In today's episode:

  • Debunking the myth that financial gain conflicts with providing an ethical and compassionate counselling service
  • Exploring the expectations around working in the caring professions, especially if you're female, and how that affects your feelings about charging fees
  • The benefits of a profitable private practice for you, your clients, and wider society
  • Real life examples of successful therapists
  • How to actually attract clients so you can earn that extra money
  • Information about the Fee Calculator tool for therapists on Josephine's website.
