This workshop provides an opportunity to look closely at the intricacies of working in private practice. We will explore the art of doing less’, within the context of private practice – being curious about why many private practitioners can struggle with this, and looking tangibly, at some of the challenges that can come up around this. For those who are not yet working in private practice, this is a great chance to consider some of the unique factors that come with working in private practice, and how this, as a setting for therapy, can sometimes impact the way we work with clients. Through a variety of mediums, including group discussion, personal reflection, and case vignettes, there will be space to consider our relationship with ‘doing less’, both in relation to, and in the context of therapy – as well as within our own lives.

Caz, based in London, U.K.; who is a published writer in the field of ethical and thriving private practice, and Maxine, based in Dublin, Ireland, who has explored this topic through deep self-exploration, welcome all those who are thinking about setting up in private practice (including students), as well as private practitioners looking to develop their skills in this area.

Private Practice: The Art of Doing Less as a Therapist Workshop with Caz Binstead and Maxine Walsh

Presenter

Caz Binstead

Caz is an experienced therapist and supervisor, working full-time in private practice (in the UK). She is co-lead of #TherapistsConnect; the large networking platform, and is founder of it’s popular student project #TraineeTalk, and more recently, #TherapistsCreate.

She specialises in the field of private practice, with a special interest in the growth and maintenance of both ethical, and, thriving practice. For #TherapistsConnect (and hosted in partnership with Onlinevents), she was creative lead on the two day conference, ’Private practice 2021 : surviving and thriving in uncertain times’, where she also chaired several discussions/debates, and has worked extensively in this area – providing consultation, copywriting services and workshops/training, to hundreds of therapists setting up, and working in private practice. She was instrumental in the creation of the Private practice toolkit, at the British Association for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BACP). She acted as the Private Practice executive divisional lead on the project, and also contributed to a large number of both written and recorded, resources. It was an honour for her to be invited to present at the BACP AGM 2021, in recognition of this extensive work.

Caz believes in working for, and representing, the ‘therapist on the ground’, and is a relational activist and writer. She has hosted and facilitated, several high profile events for therapists, including, the #TherapistsConnect SCoPEd debates, National Counsellors’ Day 2020, PCCS Books Conference, and the last two BACP Student Conferences. She feels passionately about providing safe spaces for all human beings to be seen, included and respected.

Maxine Walsh

Maxine Walsh MIACP has worked as a counsellor and psychotherapist for 12 years, with five years experience in private practice. Born and raised in a large Dublin family, she is now raising her own family, living in Dublin South West since 2004.

She has most recently run a sell-out workshop, focused on helping people increase their self-esteem. Last year, she ran a community challenge, aimed at guiding those who wish to welcome the practice of gratitude into their lives.

This idea for workshop arose from her own curiosity about the ‘art of doing less’.
