How to Upload a Therapist Profile
Your priority is to create a Therapist Profile for your potential clients to get to know you, and to highlight your credentials, services and qualifications.
Please note that you will need to submit the following documents, otherwise we will not be able to approve your profile:
- Registration Certificate
- Indemnity Insurance
- Criminal Record Check (this is optional, and you will receive a badge for submitting this document).
- Profile Photograph
