Why Join Our Associate Team?
We aim to offer a fair and transparent model for both clients and associate therapists. Our private therapy fees are set consistently across our associate network, with therapists receiving the full session fee and Think CBT charging a separate, one-off administration fee for arranging the referral. For commissioned services, our fee arrangements reflect the additional clinical governance, supervision and contractual responsibilities undertaken by Think CBT. We believe in providing a professional, supportive service with clear and sustainable arrangements for everyone involved.
Working with Think CBT offers associate therapists the benefits of being part of an established UK-wide network of CBT professionals, while retaining their professional independence and existing work commitments.
Our associates provide online and face-to-face therapy, supported by a responsive operational team and clear working arrangements. We aim to build positive, long-term relationships with our therapists, recognising the expertise and experience they bring to the services we deliver.
We value a collaborative approach, where therapists are treated as professional colleagues rather than simply names on a directory.
Key benefits include:
- A personalised profile on our popular website which attracts over 12,000 visitors each month.
- Regular client referrals by text alert and email.
- Professional written confirmations for your clients, including our therapy agreement outlining terms and conditions.
- Access to our library of free CBT resources and materials.
- Invitations to free monthly group supervision and our specialist supervision circles.
- Involvement in specialist study groups and access to online CPD events.
- Membership of the Think CBT therapist forum; sharing ideas, resources and supervision questions.
- A designated user account and unique Think CBT email address.
- Access to over 50 established psychometric tests for use in screening and assessment.
- Back office support when you need help or advice.
Our operating model is designed to take the administrative burden out of attracting and appointing new clients. We take care of all of the admin so that you can focus on delivering high-quality CBT. Unlike other providers, we won't ask you to complete time-consuming reports or measures following each session.
Think CBT Recruitment Criteria
We are passionate about excellent clinical practice, good customer service and professional standards within the field of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

The Think CBT Referral Process and Operating Model
We have invested in workflow technology to minimise the time and administration required to deliver a slick and professional client referral and confirmation process. The process involves:
- Text alerts and emails with client referral details.
- A 10 minute call to the client to ensure that you can help and that the therapeutic match is right, before booking the first 50/60 minute appointment.
- A simple confirmation screen that allows you to confirm the date and time of the appointment together with any requested screening assessments.
- A system generated written confirmation for your client, confirming the appointment details, terms and conditions and payment process.
- Screening tests and and an intake assessment report delivered to your Think CBT email account two days before the first appointment.
- Client feedback assessment delivered to your Think CBT email account within 60 days of the initial appointment. (This will include a 10 point client feedback questionnaire, GAD7 and PHQ9 to help you stay on track of your treatment goals and obtain independent feedback from your client).
in return for these services, therapists pay a single one-off £75 admin fee for each new client, to cover the costs of administration and delivery of the above services. To apply for associate membership, follow this link.
