…without compromising your values
[Self-Study Course]
Let’s face it.
You likely didn’t become a therapist or wellness professional because you wanted to earn a lot of money.
You entered your profession because you wanted to serve others. Perhaps you’ve struggled in your own life and found a way through, so you wanted to help others get relief from their pain as you have.
Helping others is the KEY REASON you do what you do, and you feel honored to be doing it.
However, the reality is that you need money to function in this world.
Business expenses add up and take a good slice of the fee you charge your clients.
Have you ever calculated how much per hour you make after paying your practice expenses? If you haven’t, you’ll likely be surprised at your actual hourly rate.
What about the time you spend marketing your practice and managing administrative details? Have you factored those into your hourly rate?
Clients come, and they go.
Sometimes your caseload may become so slow that you start to panic. You worry that if things don’t pick up, your financial situation could be in trouble.
Financial stress affects your entire life, including your effectiveness with clients.
Worrying about finances is NOT a pleasant or healthy way to live.
In addition to being stressed about money, setting fees for your practice can be confusing and complicated.
You want to charge fees that allow you to live a comfortable lifestyle, yet you don’t want to overcharge with a fee clients are not able or willing to pay. And you don’t want to be “greedy.”
Finding the right balance can be tricky.
Fortunately, we’ve created a course to help you solve the dreaded, “How much should I charge?” dilemma – and many more issues about pricing your services.
Read on to find out more….
This 7-module online course with 10 bonuses addresses the key issues that you may face regarding pricing your services.
The course may challenge your beliefs about charging fees, dispel pricing myths, and help you overcome any fears or insecurities about charging fees.
Most importantly, it will enable you to charge the right fee to attract your ideal clients and feel GOOD about it – EVEN if the “right” fee for you is an average or lower than average fee.
But that is not all…
The Ultimate Course on Pricing Your Therapy or Wellness Services also offers solutions for other pricing questions and struggles you may have – e.g., when to raise fees, how to advise clients of fee increases, the best ways of collecting fees, and much more.
You’re afraid if you increase your fees, you won’t get clients or will lose the clients you already have. You may also fear being judged if your prices are too high.
You’re struggling to find the balance between what you want to charge and what you think is affordable or “ethical.”
You worry you don’t have enough skills, training, or experience to charge a higher price.
You want better strategies and systems for discussing, collecting, and raising fees that save time and allow you to earn more.
You want to understand the psychology of how people choose to purchase services. You want to set the ‘right’ fee to attract the ‘right’ clients for you.
You’re not earning the income you want to support the lifestyle you want. You may even be struggling to pay the bills.
You’re happy with the fees you’re charging and don’t want to increase them.
You’re charging premium fees and don’t plan on raising them.
You’re working with all ideal clients who pay your full fee.
Your strategies and systems for discussing, collecting, and raising fees work smoothly allowing you to earn more in less time.
You’re well versed in the psychology of pricing or not interested in learning about it.
Your current fees allow you to support the lifestyle that you want.
“I would have paid $700 for this course.”
“This course was excellent! Increasing my fee has been a tough one for me. I thought that because I am a helper, I shouldn’t be asking for too much in exchange. I now have more confidence that I can increase my fees, and it won’t mean I’ll lose credibility or lose clients. Instead, I might gain clients that will keep my practice full.
The spreadsheets are amazing! They can help me determine not only what my fee is but maintain a budget. Perhaps my expenses are too high, so I need to increase my fee. No wonder I can’t pay myself much!! The course was invaluable.”

Juliet Austin, a former psychotherapist in Vancouver, Canada, has been assisting helping professionals to build their practices and write website and sales page copy (text) for over 25 years. Everything taught in this course is based on the pricing struggles she has had herself and those she has helped her clients overcome in over 2 decades.
Juliet charges premium fees for her copywriting services and typically has a 2-3 month (or longer) waiting list. Juliet’s clients pay for her services because of the quality of her copy, the time she saves them, and the results they get – i.e. more of their ideal clients and customers.
Clinton Power has been a relationship therapist in private practice in Sydney, Australia since 2003. Clinton regularly comments in the media on issues of relationships and has appeared on Channel 7, The Sydney Morning Herald, and ABC Radio. Clinton’s book, 31 Days to Build a Better Relationship has been downloaded over 5,000 times, has over 80% 5-star reviews, and is available for Kindle on Amazon or through his website.
Clinton has successfully used the psychology of pricing principles to charge and get the fee he wants, which is higher than what many of his counselling colleagues in Sydney charge. Clinton also maintains a full practice with a waitlist.
“The first lesson in this course hit me right between the eyes!“
“My husband and business partner had been encouraging me to raise my fees for a long time, and I always baulked. Until taking the course, I hadn’t realised how my upbringing and, therefore, my values and beliefs influenced my reluctance to raise my fees.
I certainly wasn’t expecting to have such a profound insight from a course like this.
Since taking the course, I’ve already raised my fees for the 3 new clients that I’ve taken on this year. Now, I need to focus on showing what makes me different from others and to consider charging clients for cancelled appointments. This course was inspiring, thought-provoking, and challenging. Thank you!”

Module 1 will help you examine the beliefs, values, and behaviors you have around money in your personal life and your business and how these play out in setting your fees. We dispel common misconceptions you may have about pricing your services and how these may be creating a disservice for you and even for your clients.
In this module, we help you understand your target audience as it relates to pricing your services. We show you how to determine who wants your services and who is able and willing to pay for them. If you don’t understand your audience and what they value, you could be under or overcharging.
Module 3 explains some of the core psychological principles behind peoples’ purchasing decisions. When people choose to pay for your services, they are often making a decision that is influenced by subtle factors that both you and your clients may be unaware of. Knowing some of these reasons can help you set your fees to attract your ideal clients.
There are many factors to take into consideration when setting your fees. In this module, we explain the benefits of “value-based pricing” and how it differs from fee-based, competition-based, or hourly-based pricing.
This module also discusses the pros and cons of discounting fees and offers strategic options for lowering the amount you charge, if you should decide to do so.
Do you feel uncomfortable discussing fees with clients? Should you list your fees on your website, advise clients when they first contact you or tell them once they arrive at your office?
How do you respond to a client who is reluctant or can’t afford to pay your fee?
We answer these questions and more in Module 5, so you can be confident when informing clients about your fees.
In Module 6, we go over several options for when and how to collect fees. We show you the best methods that will make collecting fees a breeze and ensure you get paid for sessions attended, missed sessions, and canceled appointments.
Do you wonder how and when you should raise your fees, and by how much? Perhaps you don’t know if you should raise prices for existing clients or only new ones? We help you solve these problems and also explain how to inform clients about fee increases and what to say if they have concerns about your fee increase.
We’re all about delivering value in our courses. That is why in addition to the 7
modules in the core content, we offer 10 bonuses related to pricing AND
managing your practice finances. Check them out below…

How Charging Premium Fees Allows Clinton To Realize His Passion For Travel [Video, Audio & Transcript]
Clinton Power has practiced therapy for 20 years.

Clinton loves exploring new countries, cultures, and interesting food. Clinton’s fees allow him to travel 12 weeks each year. Moreover, after each adventure, he feels refreshed and excited to get back to work.
Clinton’s clients also benefit from his travels because they get an energized therapist who is better able to help them achieve their goals.
In these 2 recordings, Juliet and Clinton answer some critical questions about pricing your services.
If you have any questions that were not answered in the modules and the bonus recordings, you’re likely to find the answers in these recordings.
“The course delivered everything promised and more!”
“I generally roll my eyes when I receive promotional emails for courses that teach therapists how to increase their income (e.g.,”Learn the 7 secrets of creating a 6-figure practice in one year!!”). I usually feel manipulated by the sales-y tactics in these promotions, and so was about to hit delete when I received the email for this course.
Yet the tone and layout of your email compelled me to explore the website, which clearly laid out what it would offer and how it could be used to confidently navigate money issues with clients and improve my overall relationship to money. Many courses offer strategies for marketing AND fee setting and SOME help therapists with money issues, but having both in one seminar? Sign me up! I bought the course.
The course was highly professional, well-organized, user-friendly, and reasonably priced.
Since completing the course, I’ve become less apologetic in speaking to clients about money, have made decisions about payment options and policies that work better for my income and lifestyle and are in alignment with my clinical values.
I most appreciated that Juliet and Clinton practice what they preach in marketing with integrity and confidence, as well as their approach in raising awareness of common therapist anxieties that underlie our problems with money. Their “teach a man to fish” approach has forever changed my relationship with money and self-valuation, and I happily give my endorsement!”

“After watching the first module, I raised my rates.”

The course was well organized and reasonably priced. I particularly valued the information on the psychology of pricing and pricing for groups.”

Who do we contact?
Juliet Austin Coaching & Copywriting / Australia Counselling & Consulting Pty Ltd only contacts individuals who specifically request that we do so or in the event that they have signed up to receive our free information or have purchased one of our products.
What information do we collect?
We collect information in two categories:
1. Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
All such information is strictly protected and used only for delivering the content and products the user has signed up for or purchased, or for finding other men and women who may find our information valuable. This information is NEVER used for other purposes and is NEVER shared with 3rd parties for their own use. The only exception to this could occur if you choose to purchase one of our products via a third party link. Some of the third party partners we work with, offer their own bonus packages when you purchase our product through their promotional link. In order to fulfill on the promised bonus package, we provide them with your name and email address.
The sharing of this information is only for the purpose of bonus fulfillment. We will not share PII that is not necessary to fulfill the purchase you made.
A note about demographic information: We contract with information providers that help us better understand people visiting our sites and advertise to those who find our content relevant. We may share PII with such companies provided that they have explicit policies to not share our data with any other parties and solely for the purpose of helping us understand our customers better. This technique is also called “database marketing”. It is practiced by virtually every US corporation. Every US consumer can assume that there is a fair amount of available data about them, including personal data such as buying preferences and education level. There is no central “opt out” place that we are aware of. There are efforts underway to reach a standard that would apply automatically based on browser settings. Regardless of the state of privacy as a whole, you can avoid us finding out extra demographic information about you by doing the following:
2. Anonymous Usage History (non PII)
This information is strictly limited to the history of activities that the user engaged in while on our site. it does NOT include any personally identifiable information (PII). For example, the string “sub+customer” in a cookie (see below for what cookies are) might indicate that you are both a subscriber AND a customer. The purpose of this information is to improve your experience. For example, by storing the fact that you are already a subscriber, we do not need to bother you with an irrelevant subscriber box.
Similarly, by noting that you are a customer, we can “bookmark” the last video frames you watched in our member area and remind you of this the next time you visit. There is a small subset of this history that we use with 3rd parties, such as Google, for the purpose of measuring and improving the efficacy of advertising campaigns. Some of these third parties, aggregate such information across many websites. This allows them to identify users who are more likely to be interested in specific offerings like fashion, sports, education and so on. As an Internet user, you may experience the results of such aggregation by noticing how the ads displayed on Yahoo, for example, better match your interests (the optimistic scenario), or at least more closely match a website that you recently visited. Whether you find this annoying and spooky or helpful and relevant, or perhaps both, you are in good company. This area of Internet advertising is new and controversial.
Please Note… (a) third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect or receive information from your website and elsewhere on the internet and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads, (b) how users can opt-out of the collection and use of information for ad targeting, and (c) where a user can access a mechanism for exercising such choice (e.g., providing a link to www.aboutads.info/choices).
The tradeoff between privacy vs. commercial efficiency has a long history, for example, the “Do not call” list. In any event, it is likely that either the government or the industry will adopt some form of “opt out” capability in the future to address these concerns.
What are cookies/clear GIFs and how do we use them? Cookies: Like many other commercial sites, our site utilizes standard technologies called “cookies” and clear GIFs to collect information about how our Site is used. A cookie is a small data text file, which a website stores on your computer’s hard drive (if your web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to us. Cookies were designed to help a website recognize a user’s browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. A cookie cannot be read by a website other than the one that set the cookie. A cookie cannot pass on a computer virus or capture any of the Personally
Identifiable information.
Clear GIFs: At times, we work with third-party service partners that employ clear GIFs (also known as pixel tags, single pixel GIFs, web beacons or action tags) for our benefit to help us measure advertising effectiveness. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of our users. The main difference between the two is that clear GIFs are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Clear GIFs are not tied to your Personally Identifiable Information and only track the visitor traffic and behavior to and on our Site. Clear GIFs can “work with” existing cookies on a computer if they are both from the same website or advertising company. That means, for example, that if a person visited “www.companyX.com”, which uses an advertising company’s clear GIF, the website would match the clear GIFs identifier and the advertising company’s cookie ID number, to show the past online behavior for that computer. This collected information can be shared with the advertising company. We do, at times, provide such information to our third-party advertising service partners, but that information never includes personally identifiable information.
How do we store your email information?
Your email information (email address, first name) is stored at the list server that delivers newsletters. Your information can only be accessed by those who help manage those lists in order to deliver e-mail to those who would like to receive email. All of the emails that are sent to you by us include an unsubscribe link in them. You can remove yourself at any time from our newsletters by unsubscribing here. If you have purchased any of my programs, you will continue to receive mailings related to your purchase. If you are an affiliate partner, then you will continue to receive mailings related to our affiliate program. If you would like to be removed from any of these mailings, please contact my support team and they can assist you. Disclaimer This policy may be changed at any time at ALT’s discretion.
