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 am a co-founder and Director at Onlinevents, dedicated to democratising learning in the helping professions. We host the world’s first and largest video learning library akin to “Netflix” for these professions.
Additionally, I serve as a Director at Temenos Education and lead the Counselling & Psychotherapy Programme. Our focus is on nurturing students to become their most potent selves, both personally and professionally.
With over 20 years of experience, I currently manage a private practice as a Psychotherapist and Supervisor, offering services through video, text chat, and virtual environments.
I also facilitate groups and am involved in the Going Global and La Jolla programmes, rooted in Carl Rogers’ Encounter Group movement.
I am a past Chair and now an Honorary Fellow at the Association for Counselling & Therapy Online (ACTO). I have served on the board of the World Association for Person Centered & Experiential Psychotherapy & Counselling for 6 years.
I have 30 years experience as a psychotherapist in private practise, 20 years working as a tutor and Director of a Psychotherapy Training Institute, 11 years as a senior counsellor for NHS staff and 8 years in University Student Counselling.
I often work with people who find therapy daunting or even think it could be impossible. Often in responsible roles, maybe creating change in their environment, yet unable to effect satisfying or profound changes in themselves and their own lives.
My job is to see what blocks and inhibits you. The process of us being together offers opportunity for new ways to think and live.
I offer Counselling & Psychotherapy both long and short term and I work face to face in Sheffield and online for people across the UK.
For 20 years I have been providing Supervision & Reflective Practise for other professionals including counsellors and psychotherapist, NHS staff, School Leaders, Business and Executive Coaches and anyone wanting to explore, expand and take care of themselves personally and professionally.
