🌿 Welcome to The Therapy Exchange
Thank you for your interest in The Therapy Exchange! I’m really glad this idea resonates with you – I'm genuinely excited about how good this could be.

I've set out below some information for you about how The Therapy Exchange works and my plans.
How it works
The idea is that The Therapy Exchange is a place where each member offers one weekly counselling hour to another therapist, and in return, receives a weekly counselling hour for themselves from a different therapist.
I'll ask you for some information on the registration form so that I can match you with two other therapists and I will send you an email once I've paired you up so that you have the details you need to get started.
If you feel the therapist match isn't great for you, that's okay. I want this to be a place where we are with the right therapist for each of us. As you know, it's the relationship with our therapist that matters most, so the matching process is important to me. But, I won't get it right every time, so if it isn't the right match for you, you can just let me know. I will then take time to explore with you what didn't work for you/what you feel you need, which will help me make a better match for you with a different therapist.
If you ever need to take a break, you can! If you're unwell or can't make your session, just let your therapist or client know, in the usual way. If you need to take a longer break, you can pause your membership.
There is a small membership fee attached, which helps me run the back room of the membership, ie. covering the admin and running costs of keeping everything organised, and the time I spend on organising matches, but I'm keeping it low so that it is genuinely affordable therapy. So I've set the fee at £19.99 per month and if you join me today, you'll keep that rate for as long as you remain a member.
Coming up
In the near future I'm also hoping to have a CPD package as an add on - which I hope to offer as an additional option. I'm currently negotiating on the price with them at the moment but I'm keeping my fingers crossed this works out as it would be great to offer therapists another saving on something we have to spend money on.
I'm also planning to offer membership to trainee therapists in the future, so if you're a trainee watch this space – you can get in touch and let me know you would be interested by emailing me at anne@annelewistherapy.co.uk 💌
If you would like to join us, the next step is to complete the registration form, which you can do using the link below. This lets me know what area you’re based in (so I can avoid any close contacts when matching you), the kind of work you do, and what you’d like to focus on in your own therapy.
Once that’s done, I’ll be in touch with your match and to guide you through what happens next.

I've created this space for therapists just like you and me, where we can support one another and be able to have genuinely affordable therapy for as long as you'd like. If you have any questions at all, please just let me know as I'm very happy to answer any questions you might have, now or in the future; otherwise please go ahead and sign up using the link above, it would be great to have you on board ☺️
I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm wishes,
Anne
