Helpful Information
Booking sessions
After the first session, inform the client that they should book future sessions directly through the UK Therapy Guide system, as they did for the initial appointment. This process will handle the payment, and the booking will automatically appear in your Google calendar. You do not need to schedule the session yourself.
A confirmation email containing the session link will be sent to both you and the client. You can access the session either through this email or by joining directly via the calendar event.
Invoicing
After completing a calendar month of sessions, please log in to your UK Therapy guide account and find your completed sessions under ‘Appointments’, you can then use the form below to enter your sessions for the completed month. To add multiple sessions, click the ‘+’ button as needed.
The amount invoiced should reflect your session cost minus the agreed platform fee: 25% for sessions under £90, and 30% for sessions over £90.
For example:
If your fee is £80 you will remove 25% (£20) and you will invoice the UK Therapy Guide £60 per session.
If your fee is £100, you will remove 30% (£30) and invoice UK Therapy Guide £70 per session.
Invoice form: https://uktherapyguide.com/invoice
Please note: Invoices are the responsibility of the therapist, if they are not completed, payments can not be made.
Updating Your Calendar
Please keep your availability up to date to prevent double bookings. If a double booking does occur, reach out to the client directly to arrange an alternative time.
Additionally, if you have planned commitments within your usual availability hours, be sure to block out the time in your Google calendar. This will ensure that the slot does not appear as available in the UK Therapy Guide system.
