u/Gildastories

Hi,

I'm currently at the beginning of my retraining journey as a therapist, and am Black and part of the LGBTIQ+ community. I'm wondering about the income of a newly qualified therapist practising privately versus an experienced therapist, and I want to hear from Black people about their experiences, particularly Black women. I've seen a lot of people on here talk about income depending on the population you work with, and I want to work with LGBTIQ+ people of colour, which is quite different from the vast majority of therapists in the UK.

It'd be great to hear how other Black people (cis, straight, or queer) navigate private practice and delivering therapy, and the type of income you make and how you get by.
