Do you feel guilty about charging for therapy?

Did you ever feel a bit awkward about charging your clients to come to therapy? Maybe you give too many concessions or haven’t increased your prices in years? 

Or maybe ultimately you feel guilty for changing people that need help. 

Well if any of those sound familiar, this is the episode for you as we’re taking a deep dive into how you feel about charging and I’ll offer you some practical solutions to move forward. 

In this episode we explore:

  • The reasons we struggle with charging
  • How it might show up
  • The consequences for you
  • The truth about taking payments
  • What to do if you feel this way

Money mindset really is a totally fascinating yet massive subject so I encourage you to do some personal development around this. It will help you personally, yes, but if you feel guilty about charging, it can be transformational for your business. 

And can you imagine if you didn't feel guilty about charging so everyone paid your going rate? What difference would that make to your life?

I really hope you enjoyed this and you start receiving a good income for the valuable, transformational and professional work you do.

About the Podcast

The Grow Your Private Practice Show
Helping Counsellors and Therapists Get Found By More Clients More Easily
I’m Jane Travis and I’m an ex counsellor that now works with other therapists to grow their private practice, hence the name of the show.

I’m the author of the Grow Your Private Practice book and also run the Grow Your Private Practice membership, where counsellors can get together and learn all about marketing, with a special love of all things blogging.

Okay, that’s the official stuffy 'about me' bit out of the way, because honestly, it’s so much more than that.

The truth is, the thing that really drives me, is helping counsellors - counsellors like you - to get more freedom and choice into your life so can work when you want to, how you want to and with the issues that you’re passionate about.

And importantly, to get paid properly to do so.

Because you have the freedom and choice to run a thriving private practice whilst also creating a fulfilling life for both yourself and your family.

If you want that too, please click subscribe. I hope you enjoy listening.

Jane Travis

Hi, I’m Jane. I’m a former counsellor who now helps other counsellors and psychotherapists to grow their private practice, hence the name of the show.

I’m the author of the Grow Your Private Practice book, and I run the Grow Your Private Practice membership, where therapists come together to learn all about marketing in a way that feels doable, ethical, and actually kind of fun.

Okay, so that’s the official, slightly stuffy “about me” bit.

But the truth is - it’s about so much more than that.

What really drives me is helping people like you create more freedom and choice in your life. So you can work the hours you want, in the way that suits you, with the clients and issues you’re passionate about. And most importantly? Get paid properly to do it.

Because you CAN build a practice that supports you - not just emotionally, but financially too.

I hope you enjoy listening.
