Psychotherapists
Professional liability insurance for your psychotherapy practice
As a professional psychotherapist your work is all about helping people during some of the most challenging times in their lives. So, while helping people with their problems can be incredibly rewarding, giving advice and guidance about sensitive aspects of people’s lives brings risk.
To help give you peace of mind and carry out your valuable work with confidence, it’s important to have the right professional insurance in place.
- Protection
Oxygen provides professional liability insurance that is specifically designed to cover your work as a psychotherapist, psychoanalyst, analytical psychologist, psychosexual therapist or counsellor. Underwritten by Hiscox, cover can be extended to include hypnotherapy, CBT, and life coaching.
- Care
We recognise that your psychotherapy practice is unique – characteristics like your therapeutic approach and any specific conditions you specialise in will shape the risks you face and therefore your insurance needs. The Oxygen team will take the time to understand your needs in detail, before tailoring psychotherapy insurance to protect the specific work you undertake.
- Claims
We hope you never have to make a claim under your Oxygen insurance for psychotherapists, but if you do, we have a dedicated claims team on hand to help support you throughout the process.
