ORIGINAL POSTER

Thanks for the reply! I'm a freelance psychotherapist, I work exclusively online with italians. I obviously have several patients, but I don't have an employer who can certify anything. So I'm trying to figure out how to certify my work. 🧐 I only have a lot of small invoices and small bank transfers from individual sessions (which, for patient privacy reasons, I can't show). Does anyone have any advice on working freelance?
