ABSTRACT
For some counsellors, working from home is the last thing they would want to do. The idea of clients knowing where they live seems repugnant, unprofessional, and possibly even threatening. However, for others, it may initially seem an attractive, “easy” option. It may seem to require less effort (you don’t have to go in search of suitable premises), and it may also seem less risky financially (you don’t have to agree to any rental contract for a minimum period). In some ways, it is more convenient: there is no travelling involved, and if a client fails to turn up (which can happen a significant number of times), you can simply carry on with your normal daily life.
