Setting Up and Running a Therapy Business provides a succinct, practical, and accessible guidance for counsellors starting out in private practice as well as for more experienced practitioners who would like advice on how to continue to attract a larger clientele. "From big picture thinking, to small practical details, this book gave me the right skills mind-set to successfully launch my own private practice. James's extensive knowledge and real life experience are invaluable and make this an essential read for any counsellor ready to go it alone." Lori White is a solution-focused, integrative counsellor in private practice in Wimbledon. "I first read the first edition of this book when I was a counselling student and thinking about starting in private practice. I read the whole book in less than a week and told my peers to get a copy. It helped me from a business perspective (profit and loss, the real cost of starting up), website advice (wording, phrases to use and avoid, how to sell yourself), and how to work safely. The new chapters on social media and GDPR are really helpful. The latter is scary and unclear for many people but this edition clarifies what you need to do." Tracey Thompson is an integrative counsellor in private practice in Carshalton. "This book is full of down-to-earth, practical advice for counsellors who are also trying to run a business. I have recommended it to my supervisees and other counsellors, especially those starting out in private practice. The whole section on business growth has made me reflect on my own practice, and the chapter on GDPR succeeds in explaining the topic so clearly."
