Money in the Therapy Room — Working with Fees, Financial Countertransference and the Unspoken Power of Money
Money is already present in therapy. It appears in your fees, cancellation policy, concessions and payment conversations, and it can surface through a client's shame, financial distress or assumptions about what therapy should cost. This masterclass gives you a way to work with what is happening beneath the fee, the cancellation, the concession or the silence.
Certificate of professional development
Not an accredited CPD or CEU activity
This masterclass carries a certificate of completion. It is professional development rather than an accredited CPD or CE course.
Who this course is for
This is for you if
- You set, raise, discount or hold a fee and want more clarity doing it
- Money, concessions or cancellations create discomfort you would rather understand than avoid
- You notice financial material in the room but were never trained to work with it
- You want firmer financial boundaries without losing therapeutic warmth
Not for you if
- —You are looking for financial advice, budgeting or debt counselling training
- —You want a business or marketing course about growing your practice income
What you'll be able to do
Recognise money as clinical material
See how fees, concessions, cancellations and silences around payment carry meaning in the therapeutic relationship.
Understand financial countertransference
Notice your own money history, discomfort and assumptions as they show up in the room, and choose your response rather than react.
Set and hold fees with clarity
Approach fee setting, fee increases and concessions as a boundary that supports the work rather than an apology you have to make.
Work with cancellations and non-payment
Handle late cancellations, missed payments and financial hardship in a way that is clear, consistent and clinically useful.
Hold power and shame with care
Work with a client's financial shame, distress or assumptions about the cost of therapy without collapsing or over-explaining.
Bring money into the conversation
Practical language for the money conversations already happening in your practice, so they become part of the therapy rather than an interruption to it.
Money is already in the room
Every therapeutic relationship has a financial frame. The fee, the concession, the cancellation policy and the moment a client hesitates before paying are all part of the relationship, whether or not they are ever named.
Most clinical training says almost nothing about this. Practitioners are left to work it out privately, often through discomfort, guilt or avoidance — and clients feel that.

- Name what is happening beneath the fee, the cancellation, the concession or the silence
- Bring greater clarity to your financial boundaries
- Bring deeper awareness to the financial dynamics of your clinical relationships
- Feel more confident in the money conversations that are already happening
