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. These challenges are not about numbers but rooted in our histories, internalised messages and systemic factors.
This Workshop will help you understand the psychological forces that shape your relationship with money and how these may be driving unhelpful charging patterns. You will be guided through the Four Pillars of Financial Confidence, a reflective framework designed to help you charge your worth and grow your practice:
- Smart Financial Foundations
Strong financial decisions start with a solid understanding of aspects of pricing, budgeting and business planning. This section briefly touches on why this matters and where to go if this is an area you need to build. - Awareness of Your Money Story
Explore how your early experiences, culture, professional environment, and wider social context have shaped your relationship to money. - Empowered Money Mindset
Begin shifting perspective by considering ethics, professional factors and the idea of financial health and well-being - Support and Positive Influences
Consider who surrounds you and how to build a professional network that encourages self-care, sustainability, innovation and growth
In this Workshop, we will focus mainly on the second and third pillar – Awareness of Your Money Story and Empowered Money Mindset. These are at the roots of charging dilemmas and most suited for psychological work. I will draw on my clinical expertise to help you explore these deeper layers and shift not just your charging behaviours but how you feel about it.
Please note: This Workshop is not therapy, financial advice, or business coaching. It is an educational and reflective resource designed to support your personal and professional growth.
