About this episode

Why People Stop Going to Counselling – And Never Come BackHave you ever found yourself wondering why a client came to one or two sessions… and then never booked again?It's one of the hardest parts of being a counsellor. Your mind starts trying to fill in the blanks. You replay conversations, question yourself and wonder whether there was something you missed.But what if you've been asking the wrong question?In this episode, we're looking at a different way of thinking about clients who don't continue with counselling. One that could change how you view those experiences, reduce some of the self-doubt that so many counsellors carry, and even influence the way you talk about yourself on your website.If you've ever questioned yourself after a client didn't return, I think this episode might give you a fresh perspective.Links mentioned🌱 Write Your HomepageIf you'd like a homepage that helps the right people recognise they've found someone they can imagine talking to, you can find out more here:https://www.janetravis.co.uk/write-your-homepage/☕ Buy Me a CoffeeIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to support it, you can buy me a coffee here.➡️ Buy Me a CoffeeAnd check out all my free and paid resources HERE
