Thanks for your advice; I've been raising rates for development but what I'm afraid, is that sometimes I'm very busy with projects for months, and then I just can't work in other projects... And if other clients ask for development at that time I just can't offer them it then. I'm afraid of slowly losing those clients, of course (that's why now I only "offer" consultancy, because then I don't break any clients' expectatives, and now and then I just start development for some months, in a project for some of those clients).

I'd say that if you're finding you always have work, or rather, if you have enough work, then you don't need to worry about turning away clients due to being too busy. As a consultant, it's a good thing to have to turn away work. You should also consider sending clients you turn away to another consultant. The idea is that when you're really busy, you send "overflow" customers to him (or her). And the other consultant would ideally return the favor as necessary.
