  • Employed or Self-Employed?

    So you’re in a job and thinking of becoming self-employed? Or maybe it’s some time since you’ve been in the workplace, and you’re weighing up the choices.

  • Getting To More Than Enough

    I have spoken in previous articles about the 3 Phases of a Therapy Practice: Not Enough, Just About Enough and More Than Enough. I have also explored some of the aspects of moving from the first phase to the second. Today, I’d like to look at the work needed to move to the More Than…

  • Moving to the “Just Enough” Stage in your Practice

    When I left my job in the accountancy profession to finish my training as a therapist, I was surprised by how difficult I found the transition to being self-employed. I had been self-employed before, so I thought it would be easy to do it again, this time as a therapist. What took me most by…

  • Using EFT (Tapping) to Support Your Therapy Practice

    Have you heard of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or tapping to support your therapy practice? I have been a fan for about ten years now, and use it every day to support me in my practice. I liked it so much that I trained to become a practitioner, and received my AAMET Level 2 Certificate…
