Product Description
Review
'[This] book offers practical advice on setting up in private practice, and gives valuable insight into the pitfalls, stresses and advantages that such a venture entails... valuable not only for those starting out but for those already in private practice - if only for re-appraising their practice.' - Harry Stoyles, Therapy Today, 2005
Product Description
Many practitioners consider setting up in private practice at some point in their career, whether full-time or alongside other employment. The Essential Skills for Setting Up a Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice provides comprehensive yet accessible coverage of all the major skills needed to succeed. Based on the authors' extensive experience, this book provides a valuable insight into how to minimise the risks associated with working privately, offering practical advice on how to keep a balance between self-development, personal health and meeting the needs of clients, whilst maintaining high standards and making a reasonable living. Acknowledging the fact that being a good therapist may not, in itself, be sufficient to be successful in self-employment, the authors discuss the need for sound business skills, professional development, self-knowledge and motivation. Divided into three sections, the book covers all the essential business, professional and personal skills and includes discussion of subjects such as insurance, finance, legal issues, marketing, stress management, security and retirement planning.
The focus on skills and how to acquire and develop them makes this book an invaluable reference for all mental health professionals who are considering setting up their own private practice. This book will prove to be an invaluable reference for all mental health professionals who are considering setting up their own private practice.

Format:Paperback
A good guide to private practice, starting from the basics. It covers practical, business and personal aspects of this way of working and makes you think about the reality of working for yourself. I only do a bit of private work but found it useful for this, altho it's really aimed at people considering being fully self employed.
Format:Paperback
I needed this book fast for studying and the delivery was very quick. I rate this product 5 out of 5 and would recommend it for counselling degree students.
