Common questions

Things hosts ask before they apply.

What does October pay?
Hosts in your region typically earn USD 30–60 per hosted session, paid monthly. Exact rate is set when we approve your application.
Do I need to be registered with a professional body?
Yes — clinicians need current registration with their relevant local board (HPCSA, BACP, BPS, AHPRA, APA, etc). Coaches need an ICF or EMCC credential or equivalent qualification.
How many hours can I host?
You set the pace. Some hosts do one session a week, others do several a day. There's no minimum and no exclusivity — your private practice continues alongside.
Where do clients come from?
October is the mental health platform for many of the largest enterprise customers in the world. Sessions are open to their employees — you don't do client acquisition.
How long does review take?
We aim to respond to every application within 5 business days. If you're a fit we send a secure onboarding link to set up banking, ID and the host agreement.
Are sessions therapy or education?
Sessions are educational and group-based, not 1:1 therapy. You host within your own scope of practice — we never put clinicians in situations outside it.
What about supervision and indemnity?
You host on your own scope of practice and indemnity. We help with safeguarding processes and have an internal clinical lead available if a session needs escalation.
Can I refer colleagues and earn for it?
Yes — once you're hosting, every host you refer who completes onboarding earns you a referral reward. Details on your /referrals page after sign-in.
About hosting on October

For coaches who want reach beyond the room.

Hosting for coaches

Most coaching work is invisible until you have a referral pipeline — months of one-to-one outreach before any single client lands. October Health flips that. Hosting on October puts coaches in front of real audiences at real companies, repeatedly, with no client acquisition work on your end. You build a body of public-facing work, get reps in front of audiences who match the clients you actually want, and earn per session on top.

Hosting fits around your 1:1 coaching practice, not instead of it. You set your hours, pick your topics, and there is no exclusivity.

What coaches host on

Sessions are live, 50 minutes, with audio or video and interactive chat. Coaches on October host on the full breadth of executive, leadership and life coaching topics calibrated for employer audiences: leadership transitions, managing through change, difficult conversations, performance under pressure, time and attention management, energy management, decision-making, building habits, identity at work, mental fitness, and post-promotion adjustment.

Specialty areas with particularly strong enterprise demand include leadership for first-time managers, executive presence, neurodivergence in workplaces, parental return-to-work, midlife transitions and burnout recovery.

How hosting builds a coaching practice

Hosting is the most efficient way coaches can generate downstream practice work. Attendees who connect with your style routinely reach out for 1:1 coaching or sponsor you into corporate engagements at their employer. Top-rated hosts are invited into October's in-person training pool for keynotes, workshops and on-site programmes — paid separately at a higher rate, and a strong on-ramp into senior leadership coaching engagements.

Who we approve

We approve coaches with an ICF (ACC, PCC, MCC) or EMCC (Foundation, Practitioner, Senior Practitioner, Master Practitioner) credential, or equivalent recognised qualification (accredited diploma-level coaching training from a reputable provider). Beyond credentials we look for coaches who can hold a group confidently, deliver clear and useful content for working professionals, and have an established sense of the specialty they want to host on. Coaches with prior experience speaking, writing or running workshops have an advantage in selection.
