It’s time for our first Question of the Month. Last week, we asked you to submit your burning questions, and we’ve picked one that we think will be of interest to every private practitioner.

The question came from Caroline Timms and is as follows:

“I’ve just set up in private practice as a psychotherapist and keep getting calls from various national companies asking me to advertise with them. How do I work out which are profitable avenues and which are just money wasters?”

So – it’s over to you. We’d really welcome your comments.

On what directories are you listed? Are they free or chargeable?

Where else do you advertise – online, in newspapers or magazines?

And what options do you think are worth your time and/or money, and what simply hasn’t worked for you?

We look forward to your thoughts.
