Money Matters: Financial Confidence for Counsellors

Money, made a lot less stressful

Money is one of the biggest worries for counsellors in private practice — and one of the hardest to get good, profession-specific advice on. This session brings in financial adviser Anna Gooch — who is also a trained counsellor and specialises in supporting therapists and mental health professionals — to cut through the jargon and answer the money questions that actually keep you up at night.

It's practical, friendly and completely non-salesy — you'll leave with a clearer head and a few concrete next steps, plus time to connect with fellow professionals over tea, coffee & pastries.

What we'll cover

• Managing money as a self-employed practitioner
• Pensions and planning for the future (including consolidating NHS pensions)
• Insurance and protecting your income
• The emotional side of money — and why it's so often unspoken
• How to work well with a financial adviser

Who it's for

Counsellors, therapists and wellbeing professionals at any stage — whether you're just starting out in private practice or well established and want to feel more in control of the numbers.

Your speaker — Anna Gooch

Anna is a financial adviser with a background in counselling, who specialises in supporting therapists and mental health professionals with their finances.
