Due consideration and detailed advice is given on a broad range of essential issues, from setting up a counselling service to customer relations and quality control. Topics examined include: implications of funding; budgeting; staffing; location and furnishing of premises; daily working routines; how to ensure a competent, professional, safe and ethical working practice; and the sheer complexities of being a manager of therapists.

`This is a most useful resource book for those involved in setting up and/or managing agencies..This book is particularly strong on the employment and management of counsellors and the environment in which they are to work, and the development of good standards' - Counselling `This practical book is a must for any one who has just completed a Diploma in Counselling and is about to set up in private practice or start a counselling service.... A very useful, handy reference book that I would recommend, not only to anyone contemplating setting up a counselling service, but to individuals and organisations already in operation.' - British Journal of Guidance & Counselling
