EFFECTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL
PRIVATE PRACTICE
Paul Gibney Ph.D.
May/June 2010
Suitable for experienced practitioners currently engaged in, or entering, private practice. Prerequisites apply.
Many therapists, regardless of their profession-of-origin, aspire to have a
successful private practice. Even with the most appropriate qualifications,
and the benefit of government and health benefit rebates, success is not
assured and many practitioners find they never transcend the 'part-time
private practice/ part-time agency or government job' arrangement.
This training is the "Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Having
an Effective and Successful Private Practice But Had No-one to Ask" format
of professional mentoring.
The success of a private practitioner depends on the interaction between
their therapeutic framework (which has to be sound, varied and flexible),
their capacity to dialogue with the client and their needs over time, and
the personality of the therapist. This workshop raises and articulates these
issues in a manner that will optimize the participant's capacity to develop a
successful context for an effective private therapeutic practice.
PRE-REQUISITES
Participants should possess:
an under-graduate degree in a helping profession and at least five years
of experience in a public practice setting.
or a Masters degree or Doctorate in a helping profession and at least
two years of experience in a public practice setting.
ENDORSED FOR 7 APS COUNSELLING POINTS
Members of other APS Colleges and non-college members may claim the equivalent generalist points. Certificate of Attendance will be supplied detailing hours of training, trainer's qualifications and course content.
