Is the cost of living crisis making you feel insecure in your private practice? Maybe you worry no one will be able to afford therapy? Or clients are asking to come less frequently? Perhaps you need to increase your fee in order to manage your own rising expenses, but worry about putting people off? If so, you are not alone. However, today I have the amazing Miranda Palmer with me talking about thriving, not just surviving: navigating the cost of living crisis in private practice.  We discuss: The importance of fully recognising and valuing what you doLooking at the bigger picture within your practice so you grow and maintain a business to meet your needsManaging feelings of guiltKeeping yourself emotionally well to avoid burnoutThe benefits for you personally and professionally of self-development work And a reminder that after the last few years, the reality is that there are more people today that need mental healthcare than ever before.
