How to publish a children's book with Counsellor Sue Steer

Welcome to today's episode of the Business of Psychology. I'm joined by Sue Steer, who is a counsellor, but also a children's author. I'm really excited to talk to Sue about her journey into private practice and the process of adding a children's book to her already successful business.
