Coaching for Psychotherapists
If you have a vision of having your own private practice you might daydream about that perfect space, the perfect set up. You think about what issues you want to work with, what service you want to provide and see yourself sitting in that space fulfilled and happy. Or you might feel that it is time to take the plunge and go into private practice either as an addition to your employment or you might want to redesign your existing practice because it is not quite what you had planned. No matter how much you contemplate you do not get into action mode. The most common scenario is: What do I do first, get a space to work from or wait until I have clients? The psychotherapist's chicken and egg dilemma.
Coaching can help you with setting up the right practice, ethically and in line with your personal and professional integrity.

Common questions therapists and counsellors ask themselves are:
- How do I want to work?
- What kind of service do I want to offer?
- Where do I want to work? From home, a centre by renting a room or setting up my own place?
- How much do I want to charge (or have to charge)?
- What paperwork do I need?
- What with or who with do I want to or don't want to work?
Coaching can also provide you with support in avoiding common (and uncommon) pitfalls and help you with really focusing on your strengths, what you are passionate about and enjoying the process of developing your practice.
Coaching supports you from contemplations into planning into action into accomplishment and even into maintenance.
Please not that this is not supervision and you need to be in supervision throughout practising.
