How can we help?
Plain guides to each part of ForCounsellors, written by counsellors.
For students
- Getting your hours approved Send your client hours, supervision and personal therapy to the right person to approve, by email, with no account needed on their side.
- Logging supervision and your ratio Log each supervision session and see how your supervision keeps pace with your client hours, the ratio your course requires.
- Recording placement hours Add your placement, then log each client session against it. Your clinical hours add up on your dashboard as you go.
- Uploading evidence to Documents Keep your DBS, insurance, placement contracts and certificates in one private place, and see at a glance what's about to run out.
- Your course progress Set up your course and its targets once, then see how far you've come, the pace you need and your next milestone.
For qualified counsellors
- Adding a client and their sessions Add a client under an alias, book or log their sessions, set up a repeating arrangement, and record what happened.
- Taking payments with Stripe Connect Stripe to take card payments, set your fee and cancellation policy, and see what's been paid, owed and paid out.
- The calendar See everything booked and logged by day, week or month, add sessions and other time, and handle online booking requests.
- Insurance and membership documents Keep your insurance certificate and professional body membership up to date, and see when each one is due for renewal.
Everyone
