Dr Mary Welford, Consultant Clinical Psychologist
Many therapists aspire to set up in private practice yet struggle with where to begin. Written by someone who has been there, done it, and got the T-shirt, this book has you covered. Practical, accessible and personable.
Jason Roscoe, CBT Therapist, Trainer, and Supervisor in Private Practice
This is a refreshing and delightful book on private practice by CBT therapist Sarah Rees (with contributions from Sophie Wood). It provides the much needed ‘bog standard’ information for those looking to set up in private practice - finance and tax; marketing and branding, as well as providing a clear and empathic understanding of some of the challenges a therapist may face, such as, moving from full employment to private practice. What I most like about this book is how accessible it is. The chapters feature advised-based content, which includes accurate step-by-step instructions on creating a website, as well as useful exercises aimed at helping the reader make clear decisions, in their goal to establish a values-based practice. Sarah and I share an interest in the power of community-based support for private practitioners, and it is a pleasure to recommend this book.

A timely and warmly written book that will be useful for counselling and psychotherapy students, educators, and supervisors working with supervisees in private practice. Sarah shares the valuable lessons she has learnt whilst working in private practice throughout the book in the hope that the reader can navigate a smoother path.
Elaine Beaumont, Lecturer and Psychotherapist at School of Health & Society, University of Salford
This is the book I wish I'd had when I began my private practice; but it's also the book I'm excited to finally have, 10 years later! Answering all the common 'what if' questions that therapists consistently raise regarding independent work, and providing lots of practical advice and reassurance, this is a must-have for any therapists practicing, or considering practicing, within the private sphere. Not only will it help you to establish and build an effective and successful therapy practice, it will also encourage you to consider how to do this in a way that aligns with your values and satisfies you both financially and professionally.
