Setting Up in Private Practice

Making the transition either from training, or agency and institutional work, into private practice can seem daunting to begin with. This one day workshop aims to de-mystify the process, and to provide participants with some practical tools to make the transition.

Topics covered will include:
•Finding a suitable location and premises for your practice
•Obtaining client referrals
•Transferring agency clients into private practice
•Establishing a viable fee for your clinical work
•Marketing your practice, including print media and the Internet
•Organising professional supervision
•Managing clinical risk, and obtaining psychiatric consultancy
•Deciding suitable registration and professional membership options
•Self-employment, taxation and other financial matters
•Professional indemnity insurance options
•Building and developing your practice once it is established

This workshop is open to qualified and training counsellors and psychotherapists.
