Hosting for counsellors and psychotherapists
Building a private counselling or psychotherapy practice is slow work: marketing yourself, holding a waiting list, navigating insurance or self-pay, and turning over clients as they finish work. October Health offers a parallel channel where you can do meaningful psychoeducational work at scale — live, group-based sessions for employees at enterprise organisations — alongside your existing caseload, without the marketing overhead.
You set your pace. You pick the topics. There is no exclusivity, no minimum hours, and no notice period. October handles audience, platform, scheduling and payment.
What counsellors host on
Sessions are educational and group-based, framed for working adults. Counsellors on October most often host on topics where their training in the therapeutic relationship, listening and reflection naturally raises the quality of the room: anxiety, low mood, burnout, relationship work, grief and bereavement, parenting, identity and life transitions, men's mental health, adjustment, and self-compassion.
A typical session is 50 minutes, live, with audio or video and interactive chat. You prepare a short outline, share what you would share with a small group, and respond to questions as they come up. You stay within the educational and group-based format — sessions are not 1:1 therapy.
Scope of practice and ethics
Sessions are explicitly educational. They are not therapy. You host within your accrediting body's ethical framework — BACP, NCS, IACP, ACA, PACFA, CCPA, CRPO, or your local equivalent. We do not put counsellors into 1:1 clinical situations through October. Safeguarding processes are in place, and October has an internal clinical lead available if a session needs escalation.
Who we approve
We approve currently-accredited or registered counsellors and psychotherapists with their relevant body — BACP, NCS, UKCP, NCPS, BABCP (UK); IACP, IAHIP, ICP, NAPCP (Ireland); LPC, LMHC, LCPC, LMFT, LCSW (US); CCPA, CRPO (Canada); ACA, PACFA (Australia); HPCSA registered counsellors and SACSSP social workers (South Africa); and equivalents elsewhere. Modality is open — person-centred, integrative, CBT, ACT, EMDR-informed, psychodynamic, systemic and others are all welcome — as long as you can frame your work for an educational group context.
