Did you ever have someone refer to counselling as a ‘chat over a cup of tea’, or ‘just listening to people moaning on’, or even suggesting that you just say ‘how does that make you feel’ over and over’. Frustrating, isn’t it. But the problem is, these messages discount the training and skills required to be a therapist and if we keep hearing them, they can have an effect. So how can you rise above these dismissive comments? Take a listen and I’ll share 3 things you can do to make a change.<h3>In this episode I explore:</h3><ul><li>The mixed messages we receive</li><li>The importance of self-care</li><li>3 things to try to make change</li><li>The importance of peer support</li></ul>

Valuing yourself as a therapist

I’m Jane Travis and I’m an ex counsellor that now works with other therapists to grow their private practice, hence the name of the show. 

I’m the author of the Grow Your Private Practice book and also run the Grow Your Private Practice membership, where counsellors can get together and learn all about marketing, with a special love of all things blogging.

Okay, that’s the official stuffy 'about me' bit out of the way, because honestly, it’s so much more than that. 

The truth is, the thing that really drives me, is helping counsellors - counsellors like you - to get more freedom and choice into your life so can work when you want to, how you want to and with the issues that you’re passionate about. 

And importantly, to get paid properly to do so. 

Because you have the freedom and choice to run a thriving private practice whilst also creating a fulfilling life for both yourself and your family. 

If you want that too, please click subscribe. I hope you enjoy listening.
