Many psychologists and helping professionals feel stuck in dilemmas when it comes to charging for their work. You may hesitate to raise your fees, feel anxious about enforcing cancellation policies, or undercharge because you worry that higher rates might make you seem uncaring. But this can leave you struggling to meet your financial targets, with little room to rest, invest, or grow. Over time, this can limit your ability to innovate or diversify your business and make your work feel more draining than fulfilling.
These challenges are not about numbers but rooted in our histories, internalised messages and systemic factors.
