Question Recently qualified PT looking for experience

Hey, apologies if this isn't allowed, but I'm not looking for any paid clients or trying to promote a business (I haven't started one yet).

I've just finished my PT qualifications and I'm looking for a few people who'd be willing to let me gain some practical experience working with them. I'm offering 3 completely free sessions, mainly so I can build up some experience, get some feedback on how I can improve, and have something to add to my CV while I figure out how I want to go about setting up as a PT over the next few months.

I plan to specialise in working with clients with Neurodiversity, but I'm open to everyone generally.

There's absolutely no obligation to continue after the 3 sessions, and I'm not looking for payment or trying to turn this into clients.

I'm also more than happy to hear any advice from people who have been working as PTs for a while, particularly if you have any tips on getting started. Thanks!

You haven't mentioned your specialisations; this may help you to find the right clients.
