Welcome to Mara Business
Support for mental health practitioners in private practice, or practitioners moving into private practice
I believe that we can meet the needs of the clients we support without burning out, struggling financially or sacrificing our personal and family's needs. I have worked in different roles in statutory and third sector services, set up and co-managed a charity, have journeyed through 27 years of practising as a Play Therapist and supporting children's therapists through supervision or line management, and now find myself passionate about business practice that works. My name is Helen Forrester and I hope that I can help you find satisfaction and ease in your own business.
This website is under construction this week as I launch two updated programmes - one to support practitioners wanting to start a private practice, and one for those wanting to reshape and build their existing practices. Details will appear this week. In the meantime, please contact me if you would like to talk further about support for you and your business.
