building a private counselling practice

A trial by fire?

21/4/2016

When I started in private practice, I thought that it was just a matter of getting myself on a directory listing, and waiting for people to call. I discovered there was much, much more to it than that! Building up my practice has been a steep learning curve, which I offer an insight into, in my article "trial by fire" on Linkedin.

A very helpful article Mark - thank you. I appreciate you sharing your insights into running a private practice. I found your suggestions about writing articles of particular interest - especially around curating posts rather than necessarily writing them from scratch.

Hi Donna,

The idea about curation I found on scoop.it. The 'formula' is 1) your own title, 2) good banner image, 3) quote 4) source your quote, 5) add commentary.

You're not just re-posting, you're adding additional material to the original's content. Taking an idea a bit further, challenging a view, presenting an alternate viewpoint, and so on.

Curata have a slightly different take, with http://www.curata.com/blog/content-curation-the-art-of-a-curated-post-infographic/

I'm Mark, a Humanistic Counsellor.

“What’s one of those?” I hear you ask.

I have this fundamental belief we are all born with the potential for growth and the capacity to change. Sometimes along the way we can find ourselves stuck and can struggle to call on our own resources.

My goal is to seek the potential for growth, rather than trying to solve these problems directly. Once we discover our potential for growth, we also gain the capacity to solve our problems ourselves.
