Practitioners working in independent practice often struggle with the balance of offering help and collecting payment, and may worry about the impact things like cancellation policies or concessions might have on the therapeutic relationship. This course will explore how to navigate the challenges and opportunities of running a therapeutic "business" and encourage you to reflect on your own feelings about this.

This flexible programme can be completed at a time and pace convenient to the individual learner. It is a combination of short, instructor-led webinars, independent learning, and reflective exercises.

The business ideas covered in the webinar would suit both new practitioners and experienced practitioners alike.
