Hi,
I'm new here but coming to the end of my counselling training. When I complete I want to work in private practice with skype and telephone counselling. but have not decided on a 'specialism' as such yet although my placement is in bereavement.
I was wondering what your thoughts were of the common practice of scheduling a client at the same time each week?
I understand this gives the client some stability which can be helpful but the reason I'm asking is that I will be working in another job Tue-Fri initially and so will only be available weekends and Mondays for counselling. Some weekends I'd be free to see clients but other weeks I wouldn't so Monday would be better.
Can the flexibility work with some client (particularly at the weekend when clients will have their own plans to work around as well), or is this a bad move?
Many thanks
Emma
