Common questions from trainees
Can't find what you're looking for? We're happy to answer any specific questions about your course requirements.
Ask a questionYes. All Future Therapist therapists meet the requirements set by BACP, NCS, UKCP, and most UK university counselling programmes. We provide a signed, certified hour log with your therapist's qualifications included, which is accepted as evidence of personal therapy hours by these bodies.
We only work with therapists who hold at minimum a Diploma-level qualification in counselling or psychotherapy and are registered with a recognised professional body. During matching, we confirm your specific course requirements and ensure your therapist's credentials meet them.
Absolutely. The majority of our trainees complete sessions online via a secure video platform. Some therapists also offer in-person sessions. We'll confirm your preference during matching and find the best option for you.
A good therapeutic relationship is everything. If after your initial chemistry call or first session you feel the match isn't right, simply let us know and we'll arrange a re-match at no additional cost and with no awkwardness.
Yes. We understand that self-funding training is a real financial commitment. We offer a split-payment option for the 20-Hour Block — please mention this when you get in touch and we'll arrange a payment plan that works for you.
In most cases, we'll suggest a therapist match within 48 working hours of receiving your intake form. We'll then arrange a free 20-minute chemistry call before you commit to any sessions.
Our therapist network includes practitioners working in person-centred, integrative, CBT, psychodynamic, Gestalt, and other UKCP/BACP-recognised modalities. We'll match you with a therapist whose approach aligns with your own training orientation where possible.
