S11 | E4 How Much Should You Charge as a Therapist? (And When to Raise Your Fee)

Send us Fan MailIn this video I’m talking about one of the most difficult and important questions when starting or running a private practice: How much should you charge?There’s no single “correct” fee for therapy, which is exactly why this can feel so confusing. In this video, I explore a more grounded way of approaching your pricing, one that takes into account your financial reality, your local context, and the psychological factors that can lead many therapists to undercharge.I also share how I’ve approached setting and increasing my own fee over time, and why I believe demand, rather than comparison, can be a helpful guide. If you’re starting out, or thinking about raising your rate, I hope this gives you something to work from.🎯 1:1 Mentoring & ConsultancyThinking about changing career to become a therapist?
