Why Choose Private Practice?

Nearly 30,000 members of BACP work at least partly in private practice and that figure is growing all the time. The pandemic has pushed our profession online and clients can now choose to work with anyone, nationally, from the comfort of their own homes. The market for private work has never been bigger and this growth trend is set to continue.

But it’s easy to be put off from taking the plunge into private practice. So many excellent therapists procrastinate and stall because of lack of information, poor advice and support, fears, doubts and a wall of self-confidence worries to get past. Don’t let yourself be held back. You are in the right place to get all the support you need.

There are so many reasons people choose to set up their own private practice: 

  • autonomy of working practice
  • flexible hours and lifestyle
  • earning a good income
  • lack of employed positions
  • fatigue with volunteering
  • wanting to be a business owner
  • downscaling work into retirement
  • wanting choice and control in their working life
