As therapists, both our training and our thoughts are very much on being present and being available to the needs of our clients and their emotional issues. We tend to relate to therapy more as a calling than as a profession. As practising therapists however, we also need to address the professional and business side of the relationship. This workshop will address these key areas that allow for smoother practice and fewer distractions from the work of therapy itself.
