That’s A Great Question!
I’ve been doing some workshops recently, and have been asked a couple of great questions: What happens to my clients and my files when I die? This is something you need to think about. Obviously, we’d all like to think that we will have some warning of the end of our practising life, and most…

What Do You Want For and From Your Practice?
What is your desire for your practice, for your clients, and for yourself? It’s an interesting question, and I wonder how much time you have given to it.

Creating Support for Our Practices
I have often written about the need to provide ourselves with sufficient support to start or develop a therapy practice.

Working with Others
Do you work with others in your practice? Perhaps it’s not as formal as a partnership, but arrangements with other practitioners are common in therapy. Often people come together to share costs and otherwise have little interaction, but if you can co-operate with others around you in relation to some of the common tasks, it…
