Review
"....illuminating and useful...I found Gabrielle Syme's very clearly-expressed position a hopeful and encouraging one." - Counselling News. "...an essential read for anyone about to take the decisive step into private practice. It truly set the problems surrounding independent counselling in context." - Groupvine. "...a timely and useful book. It is simple, readable and free of any mystifying jargon." - Behaviour Research and Therapy. "...'good stuff' for all counsellors." - Relate News. "I have recommended Gabrielle Syme to two colleagues and both have expressed gratitude...whatever you do, if you have any private practise at all, however small (even one client), get this book." - British Journal of Guidance and Counselling. "The more that I read, the more impressed I became. This book contains gems of knowledge and practical advice in areas that have always made me nervous and which I have tended to avoid." - Psychodynamic Counselling. "...a very useful resource to anyone starting out to train as a counsellor, as well as those just setting up in independent practice." - Counselling at Work.

Product Description
This text demonstrates and reflects the care and responsibility that must be taken by anyone considering counselling in independent practice. It is based upon the experience of a practitioner. For anyone contemplating setting up in private or independent practice as a counsellor or psychotherapist, it should offer a useful model. It explores in depth the practical, ethical and personal issues that should be considered before taking such a major step. Concluding with a critique of private and independent practice, the book aims to make a contribution to the current debate about the difference between minimum standards set by Codes of Ethics and Practice for counsellors and what is good practice. The professional practitioner should recognize the points of discussion raised by the author. For this group, the book provides a yardstick by which to assess the quality of service they provide and the relationship that they maintain with their clients. With its exploration of this relationship, the book should be of interest to anyone considering counselling or psychotherapeutic help, and those referring patients or colleagues.
