Hello 

So with 2020 in full swing and summer just around the corner, there is a bright side with a glimmer of light coming through the tunnel. Summer is still coming!

Lots of us have been exploring and finding hidden gems and places of natural beauty right on our own doorsteps recently. There’s just so much to enjoy in nature and it really boosts an improved sense of overall health and wellbeing. 

As a volunteer in a local wildlife centre, I have been grateful to be able to resume some of my responsibilities recently and had the pleasure of releasing some well cared for rabbits back into their natural wild habitat. I can’t even begin to explain the delight as I watched them run off into the distance with a hop, skip and a jump thrown in for good measure. I have also been nurturing some hedgehogs back to wellbeing, making them feel safe and secure which makes them a lot less prickly to deal with. 

But … you don’t even need to leave the house to visit us at our new and recently improved home. You can pick and choose from any of the free resources from finance, marketing, software, exclusive special offers, training, events, publications and more. We’ve also recently introduced an exclusive membership resource section for just £10.00 per year. Our Events database continues to be one of the most read parts of the website, and it is still completely free for everyone to view. 

For quick and easy expert advice on how to switch up your marketing activities head on over to the Marketing section of our website, in the meantime, here are some even quicker tips on how to instantly promote your private practice:

• Review & refresh content on your website & social media platforms
• Post a brief announcement on your page informing people of your current working arrangements
• Visit all your directory listings to update contact details and refresh any content where possible
• Keep people up to date with any changes or exciting news in your business

We really enjoyed running our most recent Ask the Expert webinar with Ani de la Prida, a creative arts counsellor, psychotherapist, founder of the Association of Person Centred Creative Arts and Dandelion Workshops and our expert host Jayney Goddard, President of The Complementary Medical Association. Ani shared tips and advice on how engaging in creative activities can help reduce stress, anxiety, improve mental health, develop resilience and problem solving skills. If you missed it, you can catch it again here. Our next Ask the Expert webinar is being held on 25th June 2020 at 3.30pm and our guest is Dr Colin Clerkin from Clerkin Psychology Services Ltd. Colin will be sharing advice on getting started in private practice. Please do share and sign up here.
