This post is written about counselling/psychotherapy in particular, but is relevant to many micro-business people who sell their time for money, particularly to people who may be in need, vulnerable, or emotional. It is also helpful if you are feeling needy, vulnerable or emotional yourself.

"What a fabulous and informative talk today on Charging for Therapy at the BACP Conference. It is scary taking the next step and having qualified in my late 50s it feels very daunting.
