How do we decide what to charge for our work? How do we receive money from clients? And how do these choices reflect our sense of worth, ethics, and responsibility?
In this Thinking in Conversation workshop, Keemar Keemar and John Wilson will host a live, participatory exploration of how practitioners in counselling and psychotherapy engage with money.
Together, we’ll reflect on:
• How we set our fees – and what shapes those decisions
• The practicalities of accepting payment in different contexts
• The emotional, cultural, and ethical dynamics around charging for care
• How money impacts our sense of professional and personal value
This session is not about offering rules or best practices – it’s an open invitation to think together in community. We’ll explore our own relationships with money, listen to each other’s experiences, and begin to name what feels difficult, important, and possible.

Presenter
I have been facilitating in Counselling & Psychotherapy programmes in the UK for more than 10 years.
I am currently the director at Temenos Education and have a private practice where I offer online Psychotherapy and Supervision using video and chat communication platforms along with virtual environments. I am also the co-founder of onlinevents which has grown to be the world’s largest library of online video and audio content with instant certification and a learning log.
I am also a past chair of the Association for Counselling & Therapy Online (ACTO) and have served for 6 years on the board of the World Association for Person Centered & Experiential Psychotherapy & Counselling. My passion to bring online learning into the field of Counselling & Psychotherapy has also led to the development of online experiential learning within the Temenos programme, facilitating the exposure of Temenos students to external tutors who are located in different parts of the world. Along with the inclusion of experiential learning of online Counselling & Psychotherapy for Temenos students so that they qualify with knowledge and practice in online communication and relationship.
I have over 20 years experience as a therapist, supervisor, and trainer in private practice and large organisations. My specialism is in creating environments where the growth of the organism becomes inevitable. This is true whether the organism is an individual or an organisation.
I have a passion for creating these environments through my understanding and implementing a fusion between philosophy, theory, and practice of person-centred Psychotherapy.
