SUMMARY:Ethical and Effective Professional Visibility Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Growing a counselling practice involves more than professional knowledge. It requires a professional presence that reflects your values\, communicates your expertise ethically\, and builds trust within your community. \nThis practical workshop explores how counsellors can develop a sustainable professional presence without compromising their professional identity or ethical responsibilities.
