How to go from NHS into Private Practice as a CBT Therapist

[@Brionyroisin]

I found this video so useful thank you. I am on the path to setting up private practice and this video has helped me feel reassured and given me a great structure to work to.

This is a very helpful video, thank you very much. With the current economical changes I thought there would be some websites comparing NHS HI therapist salary with private companies but I couldn't find any. Do you have any advice where to look at?

Hi, thank you for your comment really appreciated it. How much you earn will depend on the type of business you set up and your hourly rate I have done this blog and within it is the Therapist fee Calculator which will work out what you will get paid after tax and expenses sarahdrees.co.uk/how-much-should-i-charge-for-therapy/

Hi im from the UK. I want to train to be a CBT therapist but im not sure the best way. Ive heard from some people u need further education after masters others say you dont? Could you shed some light on this please?

There's a broad range of CBT therapist out there. From Volunteer Talk therapy to Doctorate level. There's no regulations in the UK - there's lots of different accreditation's you can get - some are ok for the NHS others are not recognised by them. I've met PHD level therapist that are quite frankly useless and senior carers with a lvl 5 diploma who have god like CBT powers .. all though a lot of the academics wouldn't agree, in my experience its a personality driven career. To be a private associate or practitioner you don't need any qualifications if you market yourself as a talk therapist. Otherwise every time a friend asks for advise you would be breaking some kind of regulation. You charge for your time not the therapy...
