The role

Partner with Priory

Thinking about moving into private practice but not sure where to start? Or already working independently and looking for the security of regular referrals? Partnering with Priory allows you to build your practice with confidence - without the stress of going it alone.

Priory Hospital North London is seeking a Sessional Family Therapist to join our team. This is a self-employed, sessional role offering flexibility around the centre's needs and your availability.

You will deliver one-to-one therapy, supporting clients to achieve their treatment goals, either face-to-face in our modern clinical environment or online.

Key Responsibilities

At Priory, you'll be part of a compassionate, multidisciplinary team committed to delivering personalised, evidence-based care that helps people move forward with confidence and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

You will play a key role in patients' recovery, contributing to assessment, treatment planning, and therapeutic delivery, while working within strong clinical governance frameworks.

What we offer

Steady patient flow - referrals provided, so you can focus on therapy rather than marketing
Credibility & trust - work under the nationally recognised Priory brand
Clinical and admin support - access to clinical space, billing, and administrative support
Flexibility - choose the days and hours that suit you
Team connection - the independence of self-employment without professional

Skills & Expertise

We welcome applications from therapists able to offer one or more of the following modalities (delete as appropriate):

CBT, Integrative Therapy, EMDR, TF-CBT, Family Therapy, or other specialist modalities.

You will:

Hold professional registration with HCPC / UKCP / BABCP / BACP / NCPS / BPC / ACAT / ACP (as appropriate)
Have a minimum of 2 years' post-qualification experience
Demonstrate strong clinical judgement and excellent communication skills
Be confident working within clinical governance frameworks, including digital systems, concise clinical notes, and attendance at risk management meetings

Accreditation:
Accreditation with a relevant professional body is required. In certain circumstances, we may consider applicants who are working towards accreditation, provided this can be completed within 12 months of appointment.
