Private Practice
For counsellors and psychotherapists in private practice

As therapists, we spend our working hours attending to our clients’ ails, but what is our role and responsibility when it comes to taking care of our ailing world? We all exist within a biopsychosocial context to which we are inextricably interconnected.

John Daniel, Editor, Private Practice

Alongside articles which highlight best practice and share cutting-edge thinking, Private Practice offers relevant, practical information and practitioners’ personal perspectives and experiences. It provides a space for personal and professional reflection, a forum for conversation and debate, and an opportunity to network, so helping to reduce the isolation which can be felt by those in private practice.
