The Clients Who Never Book
Most people who look for a therapist never book. A free one-hour CPD for therapists on who they are, and what you could offer them.
About the Course
Around three quarters of UK adults have never had an experience of therapy they’d describe as helpful, and most have never had therapy at all. Many of them look for a therapist, read a profile or even make an enquiry, and then decide therapy isn’t for them. For most therapists, that’s where the conversation ends.
This free one-hour CPD looks at who those people are, why many of them have made a considered choice rather than hit a barrier, and what they do instead, including the growing number turning to AI. It makes the case for offering something other than therapy, sets out how to do that honestly, and introduces the MindMotive AI partner programme as one practical example. Each section includes a short reflective activity, and you can download a certificate for one hour of CPD when you finish.
