Setting up and running a successful private practice can be highly rewarding but it can be challenging. Many therapists feel uncertain and unconfident about making the transition. The workshop will help you:

1. Build a narrative of confidence as a therapist in private practice, and guide you towards helpful ways of relating to your work and self-management.

2. Understand and address the issues that you will face in setting up, developing and running a successful private practice.

3. Learn about the practicalities of marketing (afternoon session allocated for this).

4. Understand data protection and how to make your practice compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation.

5. Know how to work ethically and safely, (including online therapy).

6. Manage the demands on the self that come from working independently.

7. Nurture a stimulating workplace for yourself.

Whether you are considering starting private practice, or want to develop your existing private practice, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed for running a successful private practice i.e. obtaining work and making a living.

The workshop fee includes a sandwich lunch, and tea and coffee throughout the day. Coffee from 09.45 am for 10am prompt start.

All participants will receive workshop handouts and information packs containing useful examples of therapy contracts, blogs, marketing letters, GDPR privacy policy etc.

Participants are welcome to contact Robert Watson with any questions that arise after the workshop as he is always keen to hear how delegates have progressed with their private practice.
