Why Join Our Associate Team?
We operate as a commercially ethical psychological service, delivering the highest standards of CBT at a rate that our clients can afford. Unlike some of the larger agencies and other private CBT providers, we do not apply excessive charges or expect our therapists to work below the established market rate. Clients pay for the service that they receive and therapists receive the full rate for the work that they do. Compare our rates of pay for private and NHS referrals before choosing who to work with.
Think CBT associates gain all of the advantages of being part of a close team of professionals, without the hefty commission charges or excessive financial profit margins applied by many other private CBT businesses. You will work alongside colleagues within our team without sacrificing your own independence or other work commitments. You will not be asked to operate restrictive covenants or limit your own private practice activities.
Joining the Think CBT team involves being part of a professional community of practice, whilst maintaining your individuality and independence.
As a Think CBT associate you will be a welcome member of a UK-wide team of CBT specialists, providing face-to-face and online CBT. We are not an agency or directory service, so you will be treated as a colleague and team member. 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.

- 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.

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.
NHS Service Partnership
We also provide BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to frontline medical staff in the NHS. This service is commissioned and delivered under the supervision of psychiatrists and doctors within the NHS. As we deliver this service on a cost-neutral basis, our therapists receive £56.50 per session flat rate with no administration charge. As we do not make a financial profit from treating NHS staff, our rates of pay are better than other NHS providers who pay typically £35-£48.50 per session.
