Therapy and psychology jobs in the UK

    Talking therapy roles differ mostly by modality and by who regulates you. These pages set out the registration each route needs and what the work looks like week to week.

    The short answer

    UK therapy roles require accredited training plus registration with BACP, UKCP, BABCP or HCPC depending on the modality. Private and hybrid caseloads typically pay more per hour than salaried NHS bands but carry no guaranteed hours.

    ADHD Therapist jobs

    Take a Seat connects ADHD therapists with adults and adolescents who already hold a diagnosis and want practical, outcome-driven support rather than open-ended talk therapy. Work remotely anywhere in the UK, or add in person hours in your own city. You set your session rate, keep all of it, and enquiries arrive at your own diary or website rather than through a platform booking layer.

    Frequently asked questions

    Which registration do UK therapy employers ask for?

    BACP or UKCP for counselling and psychotherapy, BABCP for CBT, and HCPC for practitioner psychologists. Employers usually treat accredited status, not just membership, as the bar.

    Is private therapy work better paid than the NHS?

    Per hour, usually yes, but income depends on referral flow and unpaid admin. Many clinicians hold a part-time salaried post alongside private sessions for stability.
