You close the laptop after your final session. The house is quiet.
And even though you’ve spent all day talking, you haven’t actually connected with anyone.
That quiet ache you sometimes feel? That’s loneliness. And it’s more common than counsellors admit.
In this heartfelt episode, we’re talking honestly about what it’s like to work alone in private practice - the isolation, the silence, and the subtle way it can creep in.
We’ll explore:
- Why working solo can feel so quietly disconnecting
- Why needing connection doesn’t make you “less professional”
- Realistic ways to bring more warmth, laughter, and community into your working life
- How to make networking feel like making friends, not marketing torture
- Simple ways to stay connected whether you work online or locally
You don’t need to overhaul your diary or become a social butterfly. Just one coffee, one chat, one small step can make a big difference.
You’re a counsellor but you’re a person too. And you were never meant to do this alone.
