Warmest of Welcomes!
You are invited to become a founder member of our brand-new Directory – a network of Professional people like you – a directory OF therapists – FOR therapists.
Our aim is to help provide ALL QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL THERAPISTS WITH COMPLETELY FREE THERAPY.
‘Free Speech’ was originally designed and developed to provide qualified counsellors and psychotherapists with a network of therapists and supervisors who were willing to provide their services without charge to each other. In exchange therapists reciprocate, also providing free therapy or supervision – and so the name ‘Free Speech’ was born.
You give an hour, and you take an hour.
As we therapists know, Counselling and Supervision charges can be enormous and as many of us post qualifying, work with reduced-rate-paying clients; managing the regular payment of Supervision can be difficult. Most of us worked as therapists for years without financial reward and many of us have needed to pay for our own therapy as a course requirement. Supervision is an understandable and welcomed necessity, whichever governing body we subscribe.
Therapy can be seen as a luxury.
If all of a practitioner’s energy is going out to the client or supervisee, and nothing is coming back to replenish energy levels, practitioners often struggle to sustain the tremendous amounts of energy and empathy required on a daily basis, and although most practitioners are familiar with self-care, very often teaching the concepts to clients, we often find it a challenge to put this concept into practice in our own lives, sometimes due to costs.
So how does this work?
This essentially has a ‘Time Swap’ structure, an Exchange of Time. Completing this form allows us to capture details about you and what you would like from Free Speech. We then match you to an appropriate therapist, and in return you agree to offer your service FREE OF CHARGE. This means that you can have all the therapy you need in exchange for ‘GIVING’. You ‘GIVE’ an hour, and you ‘TAKE’ an hour.
We want to offer you the opportunity to receive FREE WEEKLY THERAPY so that you can each replenish your own energy levels and help improve your mental and physical well-being.
Helping to improve your physical and mental health allows you to pass these benefits onto your paying clients, perhaps providing them with a more efficient or effective service and so helping to improve their mental or physical health.
Once we have received your completed membership form and the verification process is complete, we will provide you with a therapist’s details, for you to make contact.
There is no catch!
Professionals within this project with reduced stress and improved mental health could provide better service and improve lives of more people. This improvement filters through to improve relationships and social inclusion, reduce time off work, encourage production and positive change – an all-round improvement in well-being.
Increased engagement with other professionals; provision of excellent therapy within the therapeutic community could lead to a larger client base with a wider network of clients. Supporting colleagues and Raising a Healthy Awareness of your individual and unique practice.
We will all benefit from receiving free therapy and in exchange we only give an hour of our time. All of those benefits you will receive, and you only give an hour a week.
It’s only an hour a week.
For a limited period, you can join this register for only £50, and this is all you need to pay.
