A closer look at hosting for global teams.
Hosting from South Africa for global teams
October Health is South African by origin and now serves enterprise customers across South Africa, the UK, Europe, the US and Australia. That gives South African clinicians a rare combination — earning in ZAR but at session rates calibrated against global demand, with employer audiences that span well beyond local payers and medical aids.
For HPCSA-registered psychologists, counsellors, social workers and registered counsellors, hosting fits naturally alongside a private or institutional practice. Sessions are scheduled around your availability, you keep full control of your topics, and there is no exclusivity — your private practice continues exactly as it is.
What hosting looks like for South African clinicians
A typical session is 50 minutes, live, with audio or video and an interactive chat. South African hosts often run morning sessions for SA-based employers and late-afternoon or early-evening slots that line up with UK and European working hours — meaningfully expanding the available work without disrupting a local practice.
Topics span the full breadth of work you would cover in clinical practice: anxiety and panic, depression, burnout, sleep, trauma-informed wellbeing, parenting, relationships, identity, neurodivergence, and adjustment under pressure. Sessions are educational and group-based — not 1:1 therapy — and you host strictly within your HPCSA scope of practice.
Who we approve in South Africa
We approve current HPCSA registrants in the relevant clinical or counselling category (clinical psychology, counselling psychology, educational psychology, registered counsellors, psychiatric nursing, social work, dietetics) and SACSSP-registered social workers. Coaches are approved with an ICF (ACC, PCC or MCC) or EMCC credential or equivalent qualification.
Beyond credentials, we look for clinicians who hold groups well, communicate clearly with non-clinical audiences, and can frame their work for an employer setting. Specialty areas with strong demand from our SA enterprise customers include sleep, ADHD, perinatal mental health, financial wellbeing and adjustment.
How earnings work for ZA hosts
South African hosts typically earn ZAR 300–600 per hosted session, paid monthly in ZAR directly into your South African bank account. The exact rate is set when your application is approved and reflects your registration category, experience and specialty.
October handles invoicing, tax documentation and payments. As an independent contractor you are responsible for declaring your hosting income to SARS and managing your own provisional tax, which most South African practitioners are already set up for through their private practice.
