One of the frustrating things about being a therapist in private practice is not being able to help everyone that needs it, including those that can’t afford to pay.

But thankfully there are other ways to give back without having to volunteer your time and energy as a counsellor as this can really hold you back when you want to attract paying clients of your own.

In this episode I have expert Sophia Giblin from Fundraising For Good join me to discuss different ways you can give back depending on the time and energy you have available.

There are hundreds of thousands of charities out there who are always looking for support, and as trained counsellors, we are in a unique position to help in a few different ways that could even lead to you getting paid work.

We’ve started with the easiest things to do and moved up from there.

In this episode we look at:

The disadvantages of offering unpaid work as a counsellor Suggestions to give back depending on the time and energy you have available to you How you are ideally placed to offer practical help and advice How this can increase your visibility and grow your practice.
