Protect your livelihood with tailored therapists insurance
Therapy is a diverse sector, home to a wide range of specialists and practitioners. Whatever your personal specialism, this is work that can directly improve lives and relationships – making it valuable and rewarding in equal measure.
However, no matter how professional, experienced and careful you are, unforeseen incidents can have serious consequences, potentially threatening your reputation and even your livelihood. That is why professional insurance for therapists is so important. The right cover should step in to protect you when the worst happens – for instance helping with defence costs and compensation should an unhappy client launch legal action against you.
You can get comprehensive specialist cover at a competitive price in the next few minutes from as little as £1.79 per week (student therapists can get cover from £1.36 per week).* This includes a professional association discount and a 24-hour legal helpline, as well as no excess on the core therapists insurance.**
