Counsellors Insurance
Tailored insurance for counsellors
We know that your work as a professional counsellor, providing support and advice for people seeking professional help, can be incredibly rewarding. But, we also know that the right insurance can be crucial to protecting your reputation and livelihood.
In a profession where you work with clients in a private, one-to-one setting, the right professional insurance is a sensible precaution and gives you the peace of mind you need to focus on supporting your clients.
Protection
Our Oxygen professional liability insurance is tailored to cover your work as a counsellor, including where you operate as an educator, trainer or supervisor. Underwritten by Hiscox, cover can be extended to include other work such as hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and life coaching.
Care
We recognise that your insurance needs as a professional counsellor demand a personal approach, so the Oxygen team will take the time to understand the work you do and the risks you face – before tailoring counsellors insurance to meet your needs. We consistently get excellent client feedback and we regularly receive word of mouth recommendations from happy customers.
Claims
We hope you never have to make a claim under your Oxygen counsellors insurance, but if you do, we have a dedicated claims team on hand to help support you throughout the process.
