Today, we\u2019ll look at the options that counsellors have from the least to most risk.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Home-based practice. <\/strong>Home-based practice allows the counsellor to work from the comforts of home provided they have ideal space. This would be a great option for someone focusing primarily on providing online counselling. The challenge is that you never leave the office and you never leave home.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rent space by the hour. <\/strong>\u00a0Starting out your private practice renting by the hour involves very little risk. This allows the counsellor to maintain current employment while slowly building up a practice in the evenings, weekends, or part-time during the day. The down side of this option, depending on the situation, is the space may not be available when you need it and at a suitable time for your client.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Share a lease<\/strong>. Sharing a lease with one or more colleagues can be another good option. It allows all those involved to reduce costs.\u00a0 This type of arrangement requires a good partnership and a definite plan for how the office hours will be shared.\u00a0 You can utilize a service such as schedulicity which allows 2-20 users to share a schedule (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.schedulicity.com\/\">http:\/\/www.schedulicity.com\/<\/a>). If you sign a long term lease you need to be very confident that space meets all your needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Independent practice. <\/strong>\u00a0Involves the most risk but offer the most freedom for a counsellor starting a new practice. Having the unlimited freedom to schedule clients to meet the demands of your life. Also enables the counsellor to rent your own space out to other counsellors. <strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are several great resources available to those considering starting or enhancing their private practice. My favorites are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccpa-accp.ca\/blog\/wp-admin\/PAA%20Guidebook.pdf\">PAA<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccpa-accp.ca\/blog\/wp-admin\/PrivatepracticeFAQ.pdf\">CCPA<\/a>. Both these resources highlight the fact that there is no exact manual or how-to book that you can simply follow. Setting up a successful private practice requires hard work, some risk, and a little imagination.<\/p>\n<p>The opinions expressed in this blog are solely mine and not those of the CCPA.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Dosenberger, Canadian Certified Counsellor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding the ideal office space and situation for your private practice is one of the most important decisions in starting a private practice. \u00a0As a counsellor starting a new practice it can be anxiety provoking because you may be committing money while being uncertain whether clients will call.
